Can Christians eat pigs blood?

[mmksparbud]

Your right, it was a Lamb, but it was not prepared according to the Jewish Dietary Law not yet given.

Maybe not---but as I said---we have been called out of Egypt. And it was God that put those laws in place and unless He says to eat pork and blood and fornicate---I ain't doing it---You are free to make up your own mind.

 

[JIMINZ]

Not once did he say that God had shown him that all meat is clean.

Explain the "Slay and Eat" then.

Acts 11:7
And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

Gal 2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
Gal 2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
Doesn't say a word about unclean meats. This is about hypocrisy.

It says Peter was eating with the Gentiles, do you believe they were eating Clean Kosher Meat, or Pancakes?......OR?

 

[JIMINZ]

Maybe not---but as I said---we have been called out of Egypt. And it was God that put those laws in place and unless He says to eat pork and blood and fornicate---I ain't doing it---You are free to make up your own mind.

You will never do it, you said it disgusted you.

I'm going to make myself a big Ham and Swiss sandwich, it's right at 2:00am. and I will then go to bed Night all...... Don't worry, it's Kosher Ham.

 

[JIMINZ]

At the Passover in Egypt they did not offer up a pig. We have all been called out of Egypt. You can call it whatever you want. Peter and Paul were Christians---and they said no blood, no strangled no fornicating---what more do you want? The laws that were done away with were the ceremonial laws pointing to Jesus as the slain Lamb of God. That should be obvious. We are not under those. Jesus is our Sacrificial Lamb. As such His blood can not be fermented, for no leavening was at the Passover. The wine represents His pure blood, and can not be represented by fermented wine. No unclean blood can cleans-- only the pure blood of Jesus. You want to eat, drink and fornicate go right ahead. Again. No one has to change the plainly written word of God in order to do what they want---just do it. There was a difference between Jew and Gentile until Christ--after that --
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

By the way you missed this part.

The Judaizers of the past are no different than the ones of today, they glory in the the flesh by the following of the Law.

There is a specific reason for the Law.

Gal. 3:24,25
24) Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25) But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Acts 11:7

It means exactly what God said---slay and eat. Peter refused---3 times and never did slay and eat. He didn't know what the vision meant until he met Cornelius. Then he realized what it meant. It's not vague! He was eating with the Gentiles---doesn't say he was easting pork! The problem that Paul was pointing out was that Peter was sitting with the gentiles, then when his Jewish friends came in ---he moved away from them. Eating with the gentiles was prohibited---you bolded the part of eating with the gentiles and not the part that he moved away from them when his friends came in.

Right--wouldn't do the blood---however, I did do everything else before going back to God!

Brown mustard is best on that sandwich, and grilled --just my opinion, though.

OKLh, yah---My Jewish boss came in with a pepperoni pizza one day--I said he wasn't supposed to be easting that---He said It's OK it from a Kosher pig. Of course, I said there was no such animal and he said yes there is---comes from circumcised pigs!!

No, I didn't. It was the ceremonials laws -- they were the ones that pointed to Christ and He is our Sacrificial Lamb now and we are now under His blood. It was always be faith, however.
Hab_2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Heb 11: 4-31

If you think not eating pigs blood justifies you, then Christ's death was in vain.

Nobody said such a silly thing!

Then why condemn those of us who find Christ's death sufficient?

 

[HIM]

Slay and what, did it say? You're having to work pretty hard to salvage a favorite doctrine from that Scripture, looks like.

You are trying desperately hard to undermine what Peter clearly said---

Act 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Peter did not say--God has showed me that I should not call any food unclean.

St. Peter didn't, God did. Three times. Kinda studiously ignoring that part, aren't you?

Peter Makes a distinction between what is common and what was unclean by the use of the word "or" in verse 14. It is A primary particle of distinction between two connected terms. Any thing touching an unclean thing was considered ceremonial unclean; common. Something else that is worthy to note. GOD in verse fifteen never says he cleansed the unclean only the common.
Acts 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
Acts 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
Acts 10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

GOD said not to eat it. No one here is condemning anyone

God told Israelites not to eat certain foods as part of his covenant with him. That covenant had a specific purpose, it was not necessarily a general law for all of humanity.

 

[HIM]

God told Israelites not to eat certain foods as part of his covenant with him. That covenant had a specific purpose, it was not necessarily a general law for all of humanity.

The Laws given to Israel are and were for all humanity.
Exod 12:19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
Exod 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Num 15:15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
Num 15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

 

[FireDragon76]

Exod 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

Am I living in ancient Israel?

 

[HIM]

Am I living in ancient Israel?

If you are a Christian than you are Jew; an Israelite Spiritually.
You are sojourning with Israel; the Body of Christ the Temple of God.

I got to go. Have a nice day in Christ Jesus!

 

[FireDragon76]

If you are a Christian than you are Jew; an Israelite Spiritually.

I am not a Jew and I'm pretty sure any actual Jew would find that remark insulting.

 

[mmksparbud]

I am not a Jew and I'm pretty sure any actual Jew would find that remark insulting.

My condolences to them. But they will have to take it up with God.

Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

1Co_3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Co_3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1Co_6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

 

[mmksparbud]

Then why condemn those of us who find Christ's death sufficient?

Who said I do?? I said if you want to eat and drink what you want--go ahead---just don't try to change the word of God to suite your desires. It says what is says.

 

[Gregory Thompson]

Jesus was one of many who fulfilled the Mosaic Law by teaching us how to correctly obey it by word and by example. The Holy Spirit is not in disagreement with the Father about which laws we should follow, but rather in Ezekiel 36:26-27, the Spirit has the role of leading us to obey His Law.

I don't see a disagreement between the moon and the sun, just a differing of purpose.

the era of the law and the prophets was a shadow to this age, which is the light.

to continue in the previous era's application communicates that Jesus died for nothing.
