Symes said:
Where does it say in the New Testament that the new covenant nows allows people to eat unclean food?
The new covenant and the laws of health do not cancel each other out.
Gnetiles have never been under the Law to begin with so there is no cancelling out to be done. We are not under the food laws.
When are you ever going to understand Scripture?
I do understand scripture, I understand it quite well in fact. At least in this case, there are places that are not as easy to udnerstand, but this topic doesn't take a whole of intelligence to grasp.
Do you think God was going to let Noah eat unclan food and not allow Noah to offer scarifices with it?
That is exactly what scripture says in fact, anything else is adding to scripture. Why do you insist on adding to scripture in this manner? You are applying man's fallible logic to scripture, and coming up with meaning that is different than what scripture plainly says.
When God says that He does not change, do you think God changed on the foods we can eat?
God has changed the food laws Symes, more than once. In the Graden there was no eating meat, this changed with Noah who was given every living creature to eat, then it was changed again for the Jews and no-one lese when the sacrificial designations were applied to food in the giving of the Law through Moses. Gentiles have never been under the Law to begin with, although there were restrictions given in Acts that concern Gentiles. So yes we have ffod restrictions, but not the restrcictions given to the Jews. We are not Jews and have never been under the Law to start with. The whole this here is that you are refusing to respond to the points made and are now down to near insults and reapeting yourself. Go back and look at all the points made. Scriptrue is being taken at face value without a need to add man's logic. When God said every living thing, He meant every living thing, when Christ said that nothing that goes into a man's mouth can make him unlcean, He meant nothing that goes into a man's mouth can make him unclean. When God showed Peter the vision he stated clearly that it was about food, and He meant it, Peter realized the second meaning later on, this is the only part where we have to apply a little logic, so I am willing to leave that out since one of my points is applying logic. If we don't apply any logic to it then it was about food. When Paul wrote that we are not judge a man on meat the he certainly meant that we are not to judge a man for meat. This is clear so many times throughout scripture and you have been shown that over and over again, clear in such ways that it does not require any leaps of logic to see it.
