Dietary laws, do you keep them?

They are all laws and referred to as laws in the bible but with a little study it isn't hard to distinguish the difference.

Eg......
The 10 commandment are 10.
Not 9 not 11. But 10 laws spoken by God written by God on stone.
The other laws were added to...written by Moses.
I see a difference already.

Should we keep all the laws today?
No, some were replaced by Jesus.
But some have not been made void.

Rom 3:31
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
This must be two laws.... the added law and the law that was from the start.


Rom 6:14-16
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

The 10 commandments help us understand what sin is.
The cerimonial laws pointed to Jesus and helped Israel to understand the plan of salvation (not that they did).
The health laws are for our health.

Dead wrong. The law is fulfilled in Christ.

Are you suggesting that because the Messiah kept the law that no one else has to?

Yes. Our relationship with God is neither established nor maintained by us following the law.

I'm sure you know the next question - So, as far as the Lord is concerned, it's ok, for example, to murder someone?

Is murder consistent with the leading of the Holy Spirit? No.

How? Your putting all laws in the same category again.
How does the moral law become void? If Christ fulfilled the moral law are we free to transgress all moral laws?

Rom 6:15-16
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Rom 7:12-14
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

If the law is holy and just and good why did Jesus make it void.
He didn't, we are saved from the penalty of sin,.... the transgression of the law..

The moral law still identifies sin today.

Please quote the Scripture that clearly separates the Law into different parts. Until you do, don’t bother complaining about me putting it all in one category.

According to the Spirit is committing murder a sin?

GOD knows best.. so using them as a good living guide is beneficial.

If the dietary laws were presented as “a good living guide”, you would be correct. They aren’t, and you aren’t.

Facepalm.

[QUOTE="Dino246 Facepalm.[/QUOTE]

No reason for feeling shame. We all make il-conceived comments now and then.

Please remember we are set free and are under grace.. trying to suggest there is anything wrong with using dietary advice from GOD is absurd. We have liberty because our Lord overcame… set us free.

Discernment is needed.

People in the beginning were unsure how to be a Christian.. they had many questions about how they should live… Some regarding physical circumcision.. feast days etc..
We are viewing them in this age as good advice.. let GOD judge us if we error. I’m content in my liberty.


You are at liberty to eat as you please.

My personal take is.. avoiding pork and seafood other than fish. Meat cooked with no blood.

They were never "good advice"; you're simply misinterpreting the context. The dietary laws were part of the Law of Moses, given to Israel to set them apart from the nations surrounding them. As I have stated more than once in this thread, you can "follow" the dietary laws and still be profoundly unhealthy.

We are indeed free to eat as we choose, but I would encourage you to reconsider how you view the Law... including the dietary components.

So you treat the Law as a smorgasbord, choosing for yourself which bits you will swallow and which you will spit. How is that consistent with Scripture?

I guess the "What a ridiculous question" angle eluded you.

Is that a problem for you? My liberty in Christ is not swallow and spitting.. I have chosen to eat as described. If the law is full filled.. then I’m free to discern. Very content indeed.

You can’t have it both ways.. here is something for you to consider: Acts 15.. it advises the People about their diet.. also that the yolk Moses law..not be put around new believers.. Liberty in Christ. So, people are free to choose.
