This is your fouth time asking me if I observe the dietary laws? And for the fourth time, I'll tell you yes, I do all that I know. Why can't you accept my answer. If I say yes, then accept my yes as yes. The next time you ask, the answer will not be changed to no.
You have spoken and I have. I'll leave the rest up to the readers to make their own choice. I said I don't know to the other question b/c there are some things that I have not yet been given wisdom of and I did not want to give a personal opinion on the matter.
With that being said, I would say that since I believe that trangressing the law is sin. To do such things would be sin, in my opinion.
Can you answer this at least:
Since you believe that sin is the transgression of the law, why don't you believe that if you transgress it, it is sin?
Now, explain to us how the scripture you qouted shows I've taken things out of context. You have done nothing but qouted scripture. Now that you have qouted scripture, how does that scripture you qouted show that I have taken things out of context?
Love Always,
Why are you ignoring everything I say to you???
You say this
You are speaking out of both sides of your mouth. First you state that transgressing the Law is sin and then you post that you don't know if eating "unclean" food is sin.

So you go back and accuse me of side stepping your question, after I've posted the above (note you have still ignored what I've been asking you)
You say this:
Paul calls Peter a hypocrite to his face in the presence of all because his fear of the Jews wh insisted that gentiles had to accept all the Jewish traditions and keep the whole Law.
It is true that Paul calls Peter a hypocrite, but why did he call Peter such? Not b/c he insisted that gentiles keep the law, but b/c he separated himself from the gentiles b/c of the Jews. There you go adding your own opinion to scripture again. As you underlined, Peter used to eat with them. (Note it doesn't say the he ate everything that gentiles ate, but that he ate with them). Then what does it say, Peter started to withdraw himself. Does it say that Peter told them to keep the law or that Peter changed what he would eat? NO. Those things you are adding to Paul's rebuke. It only says that he separted himself from them.
You say this:
Also you have not addressed Passover and the other mandated celebrations found in the Law.
After I've said this:
I said if one hasn't kept the Passover and you think of a religious celebration and eating unleavened bread literally for seven days. Why are you so carnally minded after so many years of study? Why are you still looking to the temporal things rather than the eternal? Scripture says Christ is our Passover. What do you think it means by that? If He is our Passover, how do you say we don't celebrate it anymore?
Which you completely ignored and did not respond to. Now you want me to answer your question again, the answer is above.
You said this
Paul's discussion concerning the Law is to demonstrate that as Christian we are not under the Law, we are under God's grace. Paul discourse is to show his Hebrew readers that the "righteousness of the Law" did not and does not save anyone.
I have said myself that no one is justified (saved) by the deeds of the law, so what is your point? Yes Paul does say we are not under the law, but he also says we establish it. If we establish it, how do you suppose that we are enabled to walk contrary to it?
You say this:
Your whole premise is based on pulling parts of Scripture out of context.
But you still have not and continue to refuse to show how I'm doing this. You are just qouting scripture. I agree with the scripture, it is what you say it says that I disagree with. So just qouting scripture does nothing to rebutt me, if you don't explain how it is showing what you say it shows. My original post is still here. Go and show which statement that I've made which is wrong in the initial post. If you cannot do this, then hold your piece. Also, if you continue to ignore everything I ask you and bring to your attention, I will end this discussion as I have in our discussion in the Sabbath thread.
Love Always,
