My Church? You mean the same Church that compiled the very scripture you're quoting? Scripture like this?The PENALTY for our sin. Yeshua was the final sin sacrifice. It says that's what it is in the verse is you read what it says instead of what your church says it says.
(having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness) == (Our sins were atoned for)
(he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross) == (if we accept Him as Messiah - implying obedience - our sins are atoned for by the cross [Yeshua's shed blood])
Romans 13:8-10 said:Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

I am done with this pointless discussion. I will pray for you my friend.If you love God and love Messiah Yeshua, you would obey what they said which means you would never eat swine or shellfish. God calls eating swine an abomination so if you love Him, you would never do such an offensive thing. Do you smoke around those you love if you know they detest it? If not, then why do you eat things God said to not eat and calls it an abomination to Him to do so? If you do smoke around them, it shows you do not love them and you have broken the "love thy neighbor" commandment.
yup because it was Gods covenant with Isreal.
You do mean Israel?
And when they came out of Egypt and were given Torah, the gentiles that came with them were told to keep the same Torah (laws)
gentiles who are believers in Messiah Yeshua are grafted into Israel. So if Israel is to keep the law, those who are grafted in are to keep it as well just like they did when they came out of Egypt.
The law was given to the Isrealites as Gods covenant with them. Jesus fulfilled the law. He completed it. Now our being is not in the law. But in Christ who now does not dwell in temples made of stone but in each and every individual that is His bought with His blood and sealed with His Spirit. We read in Scripture that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ are none of His. We do not read those who obey the law of Moses are not His. This is why Christ is our focal point and not the lawI thought what made them different was the fact that God through Abraham wanted a people to call his own and to reach others through them. Israel began with Jacob and his sons and there was no written law then. Wasn't the Israelites separate and known as God's people even before they were taken into slavery.
Was it not God who told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let HIS people go, before he gave the written law? How then was it the law that made them different. But as you guys seems to like to blame everything negative on the law, I'm not surprised.

I never said Jesus took those away. I said Jesus fulfilled and completed them..Was the law ever the focal point? Was our being ever in the law? And in God's new covenant didn't he say he is going to place the law in our hearts fulfilling Jeremiah 31? Stop assigning purposes and functions to the law that it never had and then claiming Jesus took those functions or purpose away.
While I understand your position I also believe when God gave Peter that vision it covered more basis than just the gentile and jew. Gods word has deep meaning in all He has said that has been written.Whilst I agree Christ fulfilled the Law I wouldn't use Acts 10 as a proof text to teach that Christians should eat pork.
Firstly, the passage in Acts chapter 10 doesn't specifically mention pork.
Secondly when God said not to call anything that he has cleansed 'common', he was speaking of the Gentiles. Peter's dream was a metaphor. God was showing him the gospel was also for the Gentiles.
Having said all that I'm not advocating a ban on eating pork for Christians, it's just that that passage is so often used wrongly to teach something it was never meant to.
I don't believe any believer is made 'ceremonially unclean' by eating pork or shellfish, simply because Christ fulfilled the law. In much the same way, no believer is made unclean or cursed by not rigorously following the OT tithe. We are instead advised in the NT to give cheerfully and not under compulsion.
OTOH, just because the dietary laws are no longer required to be followed to be in "right standing" with God, doesn't mean some of them aren't still wise advice from a health point of view.
I amd still waiting for you to answe... where does the Mosaic Laws forbid healing on the sabbath.Originally Posted by Nik0s
Jesus taught and healed on the Sabbath. Is that not forbidden by the Mosaic law?
"Remember He was without sin, or He could not be our Messiah."
Exactly. This proves that keeping the Mosaic law is not required by Christians. It seems to me you are grasping at straws here.
Do have the OT verse that states it is against the shabbat laws.. ??
Do you know what it was like for Peter to even consider eating with a gentile.. the nightmare that came down in vision... God gave permission to eat with the gentile... that is the message that Peter got out of the vision..God wouldn't tell Peter he could eat unclean animals, and not mean it, in order to show him it was OK to fellowship with Gentiles.
It seems Peter forgot Jesus teaching. Mark 7 and Romans both refer to the diet laws being no longer applicable, though NT teaching specifically says dont judge on matters of diet. The dream it seems reminded Peter.
