We should thank God daily for the sacrifice of Jesus which relieves us of many of those laws.Because I think if Gentile Christians are supposed to obey the Law given by God through Moses, they should know the entire Law and not single out only one point of it. I think they should see what they are up against in keeping the Law given by God through Moses.
I had to break it up into segments because the system couldn't handle all of them in one post.
Well, I think there's a proverb that talks about as iron sharpens iron, so a persons thinking is sharpened by their friend.I'm curious: how were you edified?
Christians are under grace not under law. We are governed by the Holy Spirit, not by written commands. That is the difference between the two covenants.
As I'm sure you know there are a lot of commands in Leviticus and Deuteronomy that neither of us obey and many we don't even understand the meaning of such as:
76. To say the Shema twice daily—Deuteronomy 6:7
81. To put a Mezuzah on each door post—Deuteronomy 6:9
At least I don't know what those mean. Are we Christians supposed to obey those and others such as 118. To take up a Lulav and Etrog all seven days of Sukkot—Leviticus 23:40 without question?
.
By the question I meant to discover what did you actually gain from our conversation, that is, how did it benefit you? what did it add to your building?Well, I think there's a proverb that talks about as iron sharpens iron, so a persons thinking is sharpened by their friend.
I think this applies to Christians interacting as well. We are sharpened, edified, when interacting with other Christians, even those we disagree with. Sometimes especially those earnest Christians that we disagree with the most strongly.
Noah isn't Hebrew.Where was this given to Noah? Marriage isn't exclusive to the Hebrews, the Mosaic laws where.
But you avoided the main point of what I posted. Christ's words of being the fulfillment of the Law was in reference to the Mosaic laws only. It was fulfilled because God's revelation and relationship with man was no longer focused on the Hebrews, it would be every nation and in every nation those Hebrew laws would not apply because they are called gentiles.
I would like you to research on the Gentiles, and then come back and tell me what were the differences between them and the Jews in regards to religious beliefs?
Actually, obeying God without reference to the OT commandments is much harder. Lord Jesus made that clear during the Sermon on the Mount. If you go by that, even a wrong attitude gets you in trouble. You can hate someone and not say a word and no one will know. God says, "You just murdered that person". No court would convict you, but for sure God sees it.
The only way that we can please God is to walk in the Spirit. He will lead us in the way that God requires and even better, empower us to obey.
A simple example. I used to give money to the homeless, sometimes a lot. Now I am much more inclined to give food. The Lord showed me that too often, the money simply worsened the situation because it went on drugs or alcohol. At least food helps to keep that person alive.

Hebrew, any member of an ancient northern Semitic people that were the ancestors of the Jews. Biblical scholars use the term Hebrews to designate the descendants of the patriarchs of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament)—i.e., Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (also called Israel [Genesis 33:28])—from that period until their conquest of Canaan (Palestine) in the late 2nd millennium bce.
Hebrew | people
Jew, Hebrew Yĕhūdhī or Yehudi, any person whose religion is Judaism. In the broader sense of the term, a Jew is any person belonging to the worldwide group that constitutes, through descent or conversion, a continuation of the ancient Jewish people, who were themselves descendants of the Hebrews of the Bible (Old Testament).

The first person to be called a Hebrew was Abraham,1 and the name commonly refers to his descendants, known as the Jewish people.

Right, so that is why God told Peter to kill and eat....He gave the OK on cannabalism...
Using selected readings a person can debunk anything......I can bring up just as many sources saying my position is accurate. So, you believe what you want.....
Yes, I know.
How do we do that?
Yes, I understand: discernment is required in these situations, especially here in the states, where scamming abounds, and entitlement rules--where you may even get threatened by the homeless for not giving them money: we're in trouble over here.
I think it was the mental exercise of trying to figure out how you got from nothing coming in from the outside can make a person unclean to pork coming in from the outside will, in practice, make a person unclean. And then deciding if I agreed with your train of thought or not.By the question I meant to discover what did you actually gain from our conversation, that is, how did it benefit you? what did it add to your building?
I refrained from exposing my involvement with the homeless, for keeping it a secret, to my benefit, but because I am here, essentially anonymous, I feel it's worth it, for your sake, to expose just a little: I give, without restraint, usually causing the recipient to doubt if whether or not what is happening is real.I have given money to "the homeless" many, many times and have never, ever been threatened by them. Instead I have invariably been profusely thanked for my kindness and generosity.
I'm not sure where you live but where I live scamming does not abound and entitlement does not rule. Even if either were true does that justify disobeying the Lord who said that it is more blessed to give than receive?
Acts 20:35, "By all these things, I have shown you that by working in this way we must help the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
BTW, your post has nothing to do with the OP.
Well of course it did! I mean, it couldn't possibly have come from the virus lab down the street from the "wet market". What a silly idea. It was just one of those strange coincidences. Yeahm that's it.Well, it didn’t start just from bats.
It started from how the wet markets kept the living and dead animals.
Right. No worries about the place where there were experimenting with corona viruses. I mean, there's no way that a lab worker could have been accidentally contaminated, and then maybe failed to inform his superiors, and maybe skated on a little decontamination protocols because he didn't need the drama, or the risk of losing his job. Not a chance. It was just some pangolins for sale down at the market. Yeah, that's it.The key takeaway here is not that they were eating bats. It was the unsanitary conditions of the wet market that caused the outbreak.
You've greatly misunderstood me.I think it was the mental exercise of trying to figure out how you got from nothing coming in from the outside can make a person unclean to pork coming in from the outside will, in practice, make a person unclean. And then deciding if I agreed with your train of thought or not.
13And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat. 14But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean. 15And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.God says don't eat swine: are you still gonna do it?
God said nothing about hygiene. He declared pigs unclean on the same basis that He did squirrels, which are very clean in comparison.A simple search proves that eating habits infect pigs. Hygiene is also a factor.
About time.And I rest my case.
