Subject: Hank - Diet ??? |
Bible Note: Steve: Law has authority over anyone who want to follow God. The sacrificial law was the only law replaced by Jesus's blood sacrifice. Romans 13:8 is pretty clear we under two laws that summarize all of God's law: LOVE THY GOD and LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. If we love God do we really want to defile our bodies with unclean meat. Got a suggestion that would end our arguement. Be vegetarians. Go back to the original diet of God. Rom. 7:12 Therefore the lawis holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. Jesus said in Math. 5:17 - He did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. (which means He kept the law of His Father) verse 18 - said nothing would pass from the law 1 John 5:2-3 If we love we will obey. The laws are written in our heart. The Spirit will reveal our disobedience. 3) Gal. 4:4 Jesus was born "under the law". Although the same phrase is used in Rom. 3:19 we must get the context. Paul in Romans is talking after Christ was resurected and has atoned for sin. In Gal. 4:4 this is referring that Christ was born a a man with the same temptations we have to sin but because God came to be Perfect sacrifice He refused to sin as a man thus "fulfilling the law" This all makes perfect sense to me ! Talk to you soon, I do appreciate the time you take to respond, Merv Math, 19:17 "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments" |
