Amen. Per the Bible there's a wealth of scripture that condemn swine. Jesus sent unclean spirits into a herd of swine so as to rid a man of their spirits and thereby drowned the pigs when they ran into the sea.

Point out where I disregarded Colossians 2:16. You can't? You know why you can't? Because it didn't happen. Which makes what you said a false accusation. You shouldn't do those sort of things friend.
You also accuse me of anger for displaying disgust. I am angry with no man, I hate no man, and I am no man's enemy. But people that try to teach false doctrine disgust me.
Tell ya what...you want to jump on the bandwagon with those that dislike me, better get some facts on your side. Not a pretty thing to see pettiness make a man say things that aren't accurate or true.

Your problem, along with matt, is that you either don't understand the new testament supercedes old testament law, or you, as apparently does he, believe that old testament law applies to you. If either is true you are displaying a lack of depth and understanding of scripture. You, I don't know. matt, he knows better, he just chooses to disregard the sacrifice Christ made for him.
Relax brother. Don't be overly dramatic. That's completely false.
I hold Jesus' sacrifice in the same regard as you. You just don't like how I do it. If you'd prefer, you could ask me directly about what I believe of Jesus' sacrifice instead of using a smaller point of belief to disprove my salvation.

I hope I didn't give the impression that your salvation was in question. The question of a specific interpretation some use to call into question concerning a person's salvation, which couldn't be further from the truth and I'll use this moment to share why.
In Mark 5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand and were choked in the sea.
The way I've been shown is that the swine have a specific nature. When the demon possessed man took on that nature, by virtue of that nature, that man became a place demons are allowed. When that man began to worship Jesus, looking to Jesus for help. The parable shows the nature of a man and the nature of the swine as being similar until the man gave himself to Jesus. What happened to the swine after the demons entered them is the image of what happened to the man when he walked in sin, not caring or heeding the Word of God.
Now, after having said all that, even if a person cannot see this parable the way I've been shown, does not make that person any less a believer in Jesus Christ. Because when a person hears the Word of God, repents and follows the teaching of the One who said, "Follow Me" Then the law has been fulfilled in that person whether the parable is understood or not. This is true of everything I have spoken of on this site. When a person follows in the teaching of Jesus, the law is being fulfilled in them. Because the law was weak, this needed to take place.
It's true, I spoke of things that aren't easily understood, or even out right rejected, but that doesn't mean a person is not saved or born again. Even the Spirit intercedes for the things a person does not understand.
Thank you for your patience. Your reference to the sacrifice of the Lamb of God (I say it this way for my own benefit) is something that has been and is being done from generation to generation. This is the center piece most christians agree on. You are right to say that using the smaller points of belief to disprove your salvation is far and away one of the worst things one christian could say about the other.

Please show were it says "God is sovereign."
If they were clean in Ge 9:3 and clean again in Ro 14:14, the temporary uncleanness
of them in Lev 11 was a ceremonial uncleanness only, for the sake of teaching the
meaning of sin as spiritual uncleanness which must be purified.
Were they unclean in Ge 9:3?

The question of my thread wasn't about the donkey being unlawful. I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear. The question wasn't even about the fulfillment of the law, though it's possible this may have come to light for some. My question is directed to those who see christians in the beginning of their walk. Are there times when we say things about those who are new in Christ, having just been saved by the blood of the Lamb of God; do we say in our hearts, with our lips, that what Jesus has just done wasn't good enough? The question reached deeper, to actually consider what took place when our King and High priest sat in the place of authority in our lives. Is the question of faith made void in our hearts?
