Subject: Hank - Diet ??? |
Bible Note: Hello Merv, "Makes no sense. Our stomachs are the same from Adam to now !!" By the same logic, we could not eat meat at all. That can't be the reason. "If you agree Cain and Abel knew difference between clean/unclean then explain why God could not have unclean sacrifices." I can't. I don't know the criteria until I read the Mosaic law which Cain/Abel did not have. "Their faith in that system of laws atoned for their sins." No! Faith in God is what atones for sin (Gen 15:6). Faith in a system is righteousness based on works. Concerning Peter, he knew exactly what things were clean and unclean both in regard to diet and Gentile interaction. But as I said, he lived as a Gentile amongst the Gentiles, not as a Jew amongst the Gentiles. "And yes the covenant was given as soon as he told Abram to come out of his country. But it must have taken alot of faith for Abram to do this !!" Amen! "But these errors above do not change that the covenant was given to Abraham prior to Sinai." Yes, the covenant of promised based on faith was given. "When [Gentiles] believed in Jesus as Saviour they would know that there life had to change according to how God wants us to be the Light of the World." I agree, the question is, "In what way does it change?" Steve |
