Dietary laws, do you keep them?

More and more bizarre statements on CC.

The "Jews" were a segment of the house of Israel. So the statement about only to the Jews was misleading. And even though He was sent to the lost sheep of Israel, He was to be a Light to lighten the Gentiles.

25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, 28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 30 For mine eyes have seen thy Salvation (Yeshua), 31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 32 A Light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. (Luke 2:25-32)

Thus Jesus said "I am the Light of the world" (not just Israel) We see in the earthly ministry of Christ that the ones who FIRST believed on Him were the despised Samaritans. And that "He MUST NEEDS go through Samaria. He also went to the coasts of Tyre and Sidon (Gentile territory). And the faith of the Roman centurion whose servant was healed was not found in all Israel at that time.

I have not neglect that. In Matthew 4:15-23, Christ began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Christ also set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law and as his followers we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and that those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked (1 John 2:6). In Titus 2:14, Christ gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for doing good works, so becoming zealous for doing good works in obedience to the Mosaic Law is the way to believe in what Jesus spent his ministry teaching by word and by example and in what he accomplished through the cross (Acts 21:20) while returning to the lawlessness that he gave himself to redeem us from is the way to reject everything that he accomplished.


In Romans 10:5-8, it references Deuteronomy 30:11-20 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to proclaiming that God's law is not too difficult for us to obey and that obedience to it brings life and a blessing while disobedience brings death and a curse, so choose life!

[quoteJesus Christ is the only way to achieve righteousness.

Trace back to the origins of some of the wrong things you are saying and you will see why I said that.

You quote the greatest commandments in the law, love God and love others.

So why did Jesus issue a new commandment to the apostles?

John 13:34
I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.

I'm not a mind reader, so please discuss why you disagree with what I said and why you disagree with dominion theology.

Why do you agree with dominion theology?
Telling me why you agree, would help me to answer your question.

I am taking the position that followers of God should follow what God has commanded in accordance with the example that Christ set for us to follow. Morality is in regard to what we ought to do and so all legislators give laws in accordance with their understanding of morality, and no one has a better understanding of morality that God, so what problem do you have with wanting to live in a society that is governed by God's understanding of morality?

Man living "civilized" nations is already living in God's understanding of morality.

That has nothing to do with Dominion theology.

Morality is in regard to what we ought to do and we ought to be doers of God's character traits in obedience to Him, so all of God's laws are inherently moral laws. The laws that God has given are in accordance with His understanding of morality and the degree that "civilized" nations are not in accordance with God's laws is the degree that they are not living in according with God's understanding of morality. If you think that has nothing to do with Dominion theology, then please explain what you consider to be Dominion theology.

God introduced morality to the nations in the OT.....

Its already taken effect.
What we got is to be expected according the the true state of unregenerate man.

There is still a degree to which the nations do not act in accordance with God's law.

They are not going to!
Not until Christ returns!

You think you can accomplish what will take God's almighty power to do?
Are you going to kill off all those whom He will kill off before the Millennium can begin?
Naive and ignorant believers, lacking understanding of God's Word, is what dominion theology depends upon.

If you think that has nothing to do with Dominion theology, then please explain what you consider to be Dominion theology.

God bless you. We are not defined by what comes into our stomach but by what comes out of our heart. See Matthew 15:17-20

No middle ground. Sounds unbalanced.
Sounds like a trap of the devil.

Remove the law and people don't need to worry about sin.

Sin is still present so the law is still present.

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

Does God care about what we put in? Yes.
When we drink alcohol it affects our thinking, and lots of unhealthy food affects our health too.
We are affected by what we eat, God knows what is good for us and what is bad. God has given us advice in Lev, laws to guide us.

You can egnore the God given advice or listen to God.

Already are or not going to? You changed your tune pretty quick.
