Bible Note: Hello Merv, And what law(s) did Abraham have? Not the Mosaic law which was to come. Rather he had some very specific laws: Leave his country (Gen 12:1) Look at what I'm giving you (Gen 13:14) Walk through the land (Gen 13:17) Gather animals (Gen 15:9) Walk before me and be blameless (Gen 17:1) You shall be circumcised (Gen 17:11,26) Do as Sarah tells you (concerning Hagar) (Gen 21:12) Offer Isaac as a burnt offering (Gen 22:2) That's enough for now. There were a few others (like it's acceptable to eat meat and avenge one murdered) that I haven't included but certainly could. There is simply no law stating that anyone could not eat an unclean animal before the Mosaic law. There is no commandment written. I don't have to explain Is 65:4. God already did it, and I've shared those verses with you. I simply accept them at face value. My argument is not illogical because it's based on what the text states. Your argument is based on the conception that a law made mandatory for Jews only is somehow applicable universally--even before it was mandated! That is simply poor exegesis and will not be tolerated. Steve |
