    God's unconditional promises to the ancient nation of Israel

    I see. I could not tell, with this short discussion and with hearing the position that the epistle of James was written earlier. I do not see why that must be so, still. And you did say as all James were the same then. I think the epistle of James is for all Christians too, and I include it.

    It is permissive for Christians to eat meat today

    My point is about God's will. God's will that does not change. In Genesis 1, God said, "I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of...

    God's unconditional promises to the ancient nation of Israel

    They are the same? James the brother of John and son of Zebedee is the same as James the brother of Jesus? James in Acts 12:2 is the same as James in Acts 15:13?

    Question for rapture people

    There is too much trust in the rapture in any case, when we should be focused on bettering things for this world for God, the Creator of it all.

    God's unconditional promises to the ancient nation of Israel

    Alright. Thanks for that perspective. Who then is James in Acts 15, and later in Acts (Acts 21)? It would be James, the brother of Jesus. And he led the church in Jerusalem. And you do not think he could have written the Epistle of James, right?

    It is permissive for Christians to eat meat today

    Of course you are. I did not expect one who says they were unhealthy from being vegan was honestly eating, and will not admit they were not, in the way I know to be healthy, from huge studies showing it, benefits to many individuals known from their change to this way, and benefits I have that I...

    Recovering

    So much was still damp, that there would not be construction being done this day, but now many more of the hands had been gathering, that there would be plenty to eat this day. By the afternoon enough of dry wood had been found still, and a fire was going then, which was used for heating up some...

    God's unconditional promises to the ancient nation of Israel

    There are still others who are descendants of people of the.kingdom of Israel who God knows, and would be brought back, too, while most are those descendants of people of the kingdom of Judah. I think the book of James was written after the council in Jerusalem, in Acts 15.

    It is permissive for Christians to eat meat today

    I can't give credibility to testimony that not eating animal products was unhealthy. I know that is not true. Of course there are unhealthy ways some practice veganism. I am bewildered by vegans responding with hostility to me speaking of healthy ways, showing they don't want healthy ways, like...

    It matters that everything is really functional, whether we know it or not.

    God's unconditional promises to the ancient nation of Israel

    There were those descended from the tribes besides Judah, Benjamin, and Levi among those from the kingdom of Judah, that would be present. People from the other tribes had come to the kingdom of Judah early on to stay with these people rather than those in the kingdom of Israel who were already...

    It is permissive for Christians to eat meat today

    I don't think you do. Are you already avoiding all the blood? You checked that all the animals were not strangled? You acknowledge animals being abused is wicked, that you verifiably avoid any involvement whatsoever with in your choices? God hates all that. God gave the perfect way for us to...

    Will you let the bible ...

    If we need compassion from God (we do) we should realize we should be showing compassion to any as much as we can. Jesus said something for this.

    Ostrich wings, Intelligent design. Goofed up?

    The topic about ostrich wings is showing some ignorance, in the way of any vestigial organs. There is assumption things are not useful to the organism, but more is constantly found out where unknown uses are realized.

    Opportunity for reaping

    There was lots of time given to gathering, though it was some olives, many berries, and dandelions and some other flower petals in addition, that they knew were good to eat. So when the gatherers returned to the settlement later in the day, they knew they would have enough to eat that day of...
