Light hearted;53635877]Just one question concerning "all" laws. Deut. 14:8. basically says you can not eat pig, I ate pig at Thanksgiving, does this mean I will not achieve eternal life?
I'll let the bible answer that you question.
It is obvious by your question you know that there is a law that forbids eating unclean animals.
It is also obvious by your light heartedness of God's word that you ate the pig wifully, knowing full knowledge that its against the Words of God.
It is very obvious you have no clue that the verse I will put is in the bible.
Hopefully you have enough knowledge to understand these verses
Isaiah 66
15:
For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16: For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17: They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst,
eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
18:
For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
He's talking about people like you who don't have a problem with disobeying the word of God.
Now after reading this and confessing your sin to all here, what do you think? its obvious you did not do the correct thing and repent so you are sill in your sins.
I thank you for opening up and letting us see your true belief in Jesus Christ, this is all I was looking for.
so by this simple question that you can't answer you know what I believe?
I notice some assume that when we put Jesus way high it is not that we put Jesus way out ahead of the commandments and ride the "Grace wave". I do try to observe the commandments and love my fellow man as much as I can. Yet I know I will fail and come short of God's best. This is where I raise Jesus high to first ask for his strenghth and thank him for his sacrifice so I may have another chance.
How can you Love your fellow man without keeping the last 6 commandments? Impossible!
of course you will fall short in keeping the commandments, yet the Lord said pray, repent, ask for forgiveness, and
1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Do I still have to stay away from eating pig? It was a law afterall.
I'll let the word of God condemn you
lets read in Leviticus as we did in Isaiah
Lev 11
1:
And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2: Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3: Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4: Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
7:
And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud;
he is unclean to you.
11
: They shall be even an abomination unto you;
ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
44:
For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
45: For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God:
ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46:
This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
47:
To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Your confession of a willful sin was spoken of by Paul
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
