Religious Cults & False Prophets~ Discussions and DebatesPaul and the LawI will do that for you the next time I start a thread. I'll go through it. Not at all, by what I'm speaking to you, Paul is not teaching contrary to the law. Let's look at some of what is said in this scripture, since you didn't say anything about it. In this Paul is speaking of one who's a vegetarian judging one who is not. It does not seem to me that he is speaking of unclean foods, but you may be right. Note: remember me saying this: I have not been telling you to stop eating pork or whatever else you eat. I said I don't. If you look above, I said that is my opinion on whether or not eating something unclean is a sin. And I also said, that I said, I don't know if it is or not because I don't want to speak my opinion as truth. The reason being, Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ. How many times have I said that some things where a shadow of things to come. Not everything was a foreshadowing though. The fulfillment of the sabbath, is when one rest from his works. For example, circumcision is fulfilled when Christ cuts off the foreskin of the heart, rather than the flesh; fulfilled in Christ. The temple, in that Christ is building God's eternal temple, physical temples have passed away, for the body it the true temple, fulfilled in Christ. Passover, in us being covered by the blood of the lamb, fed with the True Unleavened Bread, and being delivered from sin, fulfilled in Christ. Yet, I have not learned how or in what way dietary laws were fulfilled (keep in mind, these were not rituals, but a way of life and eating) in Christ. When God reveals it to me, if that is the case, then maybe I'll reconsider. Or if I had seen scripture declare such. Acts does not do that. Can you explain how they have been? Now on to the Sabbath, Hebrews 3:18 - And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? Hebrews 4:1 - Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Hebrews 4:4-6 - For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Hebrews 4:9 - There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. This says it remains a rest to enter. Thus, Sabbath awaits fulfillment. Colossians 2:16-19 - Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. KJV Colossians 2:16 - Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths, Darby Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath. RSV Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or Shabbat, HNV Colossians 2:16 So don't let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new-moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. NLT We could argue for days about whether this is talking about the Sabbath or the convocations. For example, there are sabbaths in Passover. Yet Christ is our Passover, so it's not necessary to keep the holy day or holiday. Can you show how Christ fulfilled the Passover? Hebrews states there remains a rest. Understand those things that were foreshadowing and with passed, were fulfilled. Regarding Gal 5, you left out verse 2 Gal 5:1-2 - Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. He is talking about circumcision, which was a foreshadowing which Christ fulfilled according to the scripture. Aineo, it's time that we agree to disagree on this issue. For I can't make you see what you don't and you likewise cannot for me. It is God who gives understanding. Love Always, |
