Luke 24
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.

I know. I'm undecided on this subject. I've been abstaining for about three weeks to a month now; and I will continue until I get this matter resolved.

Here is what I have on this portion of this subject:

Did Jesus Eat Fish? (Luke 24:41-43) - By John Vujicic: Comments and Discussions - Questions and Answers

I take no issue with what people feel led to do. If you feel led to not eat meat including fish is between you and the Lord. Fasting also has a place.

What I am against is saying that it is law-I believe that was done away with and nailed to the cross. I am also against judging others in what they eat.
This is why I quoted Romans 14:14.
I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.

and Romans 14:3
The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.

God gave the people meat after the flood.
Genesis 9:2-3
2 The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.
Doesn't mean we have to eat it, but we can eat it. The world after the flood is fallen with harsh climates of great heat and frost and God knew that man would have need of meat especially pregnant women, growing children and the sick for strength. This is not the same world where Adam was given every green herb.

1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

You can't pick and choose from the law, either you are free from it or you are under all of it.

Yes, we differ, I believe Christ freed us from the written law and instead gave us a moral law guided by the Holy Spirit.

shell fish was originally prohibited for example.

The water goes through the shell and the nutritions from the water are filtered out for the fish to eat. The toxins are also filtered out and that presents a danger to the person eating the shelled fish.

There is no difference between the law and the word of God. "Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' but not do what I say?" (Luke 6:36) We are to follow the teaching of Jesus and do what He says to do. We are to love God, love our neighbor and love ourself. All of the law is summed up in this. So what part of loving our neighbor do you think we are not responsible to do? Or perhaps we should just show love for them that love us first. "If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?" (Matthew 5:46)

There is a vast difference between the current commandments and those under the old covenant. Yes, it's all summed up in loving your neighbor and loving God. It no longer matters what you eat or drink or wear, in fact, Jesus said to give no thought to those things.

One is literal and the other is archetype but there is not a VAST difference. Ask any girl that has to deal with a stepmother if she can relate to the story of Cinderella. Jesus said: "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:18) Yet there is not even a temple in Jerusalem so a lot of the Bible has to do with what goes on in the temple. Yet all of this still applies to us and we need to understand how to apply the Bible to our lives today.

How do the 613 laws of the Torah apply to us?

There are 613 mitzvot. The "Jewish" Rabbi's want to add to the Bible but Jesus did not support that. Moses said: "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it" (Deut 4:2)

Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

Not sure what this has to do with the discussion? Do you follow all those laws or not?

Why, when Jesus fulfilled the law once and for all?

You are not able. This is a work of the Grace of God in us and through us. God puts His love in us. The Charis is the Grace of God & Charisma are the many gifts of God. This is the work of the Holy Spirit of God working in and through us. As we are living in the Holy Spirit dispensation.

Soon this age is going to end and we will enter into the Kingdom age and then we will see or witness the manifest sons (daughters) of God. "The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ— if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him. I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us." (Romans8:16-18)

If the Grace of God is at work in us now then God will be Glorified in and through us.
