  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Interesting. Paul mentions that in 2 Corin 6

2 Corin 6:17 wherefore come-forth out of midst of them! and be being separated! is saying Lord
and an unclean-thing no ye be touching! and I shall be accepting ye [Isaiah 52:11, Ezekiel 20:34,41/Revelation 18:4]

I know that it is not a law of God, but according to the Jews it wasn't even a tradition, a figment of NT.

Sorry for the delay in replying MZ, I missed your post somehow. I didn't refer to it as Peter's law. Visionary referred to it that way. There is no 'Peter's law' as such. Visionary probably thought it would be useful to describe it that way in the discussion. It probably just created confusion though.

Here's another instance in scripture of this sort of idea;

John 18

In Pilate’s Court

28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.

And A.T. Robertson said this about the issue;
A.T. Robertson said:
But there is no O.T. regulation forbidding such social contact with Gentiles, though the rabbis had added it and had made it binding by custom. There is nothing more binding on the average person than social custom.

It might be useful to include "[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif]SHAMMAITE ORAL LAW" in any google searches on this issue also.

From my studies and understanding about the children of Israel. They were commanded by God to be seperated from all nations and peoples who are not circumcized (cleaned). Jews are bound by covenant and laws to be a Holy and set apart people. There are many scripture that can be posted to show why Jews were never to mary or mingle with others people unless they were circumcized and kept certain ordinaces.
Exd 19:5Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine:
Exd 19:6And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

I find it questionable to say it was just traditions oposed to commandments and Laws.
Hello?????people from other nations were always considered outsiders, foreigners and strangers.

I find that circumcision and sabbathkeeping are keys to understanding how the COI were to be a holy and righteous by the law.

In the fulness of time God adopted the Gentiles into His family. We're not under the law, thus we're not required to keep sacrificial ordinances not commanded after the cross.
Col 2:13And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Col 2:15[And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.


When we examine the dream that Peter had we learn that Gentiles were formally considered unclean are now made clean through the blood of the Lamb.Act 10:15And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.

Thank you Lord, for excepting people of all nations.

The reason I called it Peter's law is the fact that Peter is the only one to state it is a law. No where in scriptures other than Peter do you get such a statement. While I appreciate all of you who have posted many good scriptural references for the ideology, and they all lend to the credibility that such ideology existed, my situation is that the Jews deny that there ever was such a law, that Peter stated. So outside NT, there is according to the Jews no such attitude or documentation of such an attitude. Which in turn makes it difficult to find the historical setting to match what Peter is saying.

Hi visionary.
May I repectfully ask why we should care what the Jews [or even the Muslims] think about our Bible?
Those religions are still blind to Jesus even being Lord and Savior which was prophecied in the Jew's own OT/OC Scriptures. Just curious.

John 5:39 "Ye are searching the Writings that ye are seeming in them Life age-during to be having, and those are the ones-testifying about Me".

Reve 14:11 And the smoke of the tormenting of them into ages of ages is ascending and not they are having Rest day and night

Unlawful - translated from the Greek word Athemitos, carries the following meaning;
"This term refers primarily not to what is forbidden by ordinance but to violation of tradition or common recognition of what is seemly or proper." Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, Third Edition
