We have no indication that the proscription was based on ceremonial, or shadowy, issues. As far as we can determine, all of the forbidden categories are so classified because God wanted His people to be healthy and happy. They simply were not suitable for human consumption, and God told His...

Ponder this significant fact carefully. If certain animals were identified as unclean before the flood; if they were still counted as unclean when Peter rejected them in his vision; if they are still called unclean in Revelation 18:2, where it speaks of "unclean" birds; and if Isaiah declares...

When Jesus came did God cast away the apple of His eye? Did God give up on Israel or not? No He gave them probation, And set conditions to be a child of God. Israel has not stopped being the nation of God, it was opened to all people and anyone that accepted the truth became an Israelite...

One popular argument used to support the eating of unclean meats is in Matthew 15:11. Jesus said, "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." Without consideration of the context, this verse seems to be saying that we may...

It is literally true that you can prove almost anything you want to prove by using a single, isolated text of Scripture. That is why it is so important to bring together the consensus of what Moses, David, Jesus, Paul and all other inspired authors have to say on the subject. Show me from the...

When it come to truth... some gather support for their preconceived religious ideas. Their minds are not open to be taught by God's Holy Spirit, and therefore they can manipulate the sacred texts to mean exactly what they want to believe. There is heaps in the Bible teaching that unclean foods...

Okay this will be the deciding point.... Did God clean the unclean animals so we could consume them or was it an illustration to show that the Gentiles were now clean to witness to? The illustration that Peter was given is used to prove we can eat anything now but was it just an illustration...

I agree that God knows what is best.. The food has only gotten worse and the principles from God are all the more important.

Because calvanists get the fist point wrong. There is no point talking about the other 4 T.... U,L,I,P. Like most of the devils deceptions truth is mixed with error.

I have been saying that... love does not force. We are shown the love of God in many ways, but we are also tempted to follow the flesh. We can choose who we follow. The Spirit or the flesh.

Like Israel in Eygpt we do not seek God. God seeks us and sets us free. Israel choose to follow God. Moses walked through the red sea and Israel followed. They were persuaded by the signs they saw. We too can see God's workings if we will only look. We can find reasons to not follow if we want...

Amen and as a result we can be free. Most of the Jews in the wilderness were looking back and desiring the things of Egypt.. we to can fail to look at heaven... Mat 6:20-21 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not...

Sheep and goats It was a parable... don't loose sight of the big picture... The question no has answered for me is... Does God force us to love Him. ? Does God force us to be saved? Can we choose to remain a slave to sin if we want to? VS choosing to accepting salvation?

Oh In simple terms We are slaves... we can not free ourselves.... we are stuck and all our efforts will fail.... But God offers us a way to be free. GOD GAVE US HIS SON. Jesus came to set us free. We have to make a choice. Will we by faith except the gift of salvation or will we stay...

Wrong... HE claims to be a doctor for the sick. To save the sinners. Mar 2:16-17 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? 17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto...

Being a slave ...... We are born as slaves to sin. Jesus has purchased our freedom. We can choose to follow Jesus and serve Him or stay a slave to sin. Jesus does not force us to serve Him. Think of Israel in Egypt.... they could not free themselves, they were born as slaves, but God...

It is all about conversion Change of heart. By nature we are lustful and sinful. The flesh is corrupted by sin. But sin is a choice. We can die to the flesh and live in the Spirit. The flesh and the Spirit are the 2 sides, the 2 masters. Being born again is about dieing to the flesh...

I agree, this flesh that is in me is depraved, and tempted so easily.. When we are filled with the Spirit of God there is peace and joy. This is what it will be like but the flesh will not be striving and warring against the Spirit. Rom 7:21-25 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do...

Because the question is being asked Is God forcing us to love Him or not? We might not know but we can ask the question? Question the character and principle. Is God forcing us or not?

Jer 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Forced to have free will... contradicts itself. Forced or not Forced? Sure we do not need to understand how it all works but does God...
