Understanding this passage correctly is what establishes the dietary restrictions as still valid. God was not changing His instructions to His people, but was using a parable of sorts to teach Peter a greater lesson. That is why God told Peter what the vision was for: "And he said to them...

Why couldn't there be a changing of the date? Doing things a certain way just because its the way we've always done it, knowing full well it's not correct is ignorant and prideful. I choose to celebrate Jesus' birth during the Biblical Fall Feasts days, which is closest to His actual birth. I...

If a Christian wants to celebrate Jesus' birth, death or resurrection, they should celebrate them truthfully and accurately. Not on blatantly false dates that were only chosen to coincide with worshipping other gods. A Christian should care about worshipping God in spirit and in truth instead of...

From a physical lifestyle perspective, I try to obey as many of the 613 Torah commandments as is applicaple. It's the same approach with the commans in the New Testament. And the commands that are not physically applicable today, I look for the deeper spiritual application to them. God did not...

Shadow or not, God never instructed that the Sabbath was to be changed or done away with. It's putting the Sabbath in it's proper context compared to the fullfillment of all things, but it's never to be done away with. That's why Jesus said to obey and teach the commandments (including Sabbath).

Christians can go to church and gather together any day of the week, including Sunday. But the 7th day, Saturday, always has and always will be God's Sabbath. Again, go to church any day of the week, but don't mistake any day other than Saturday as the Sabbath.

It's definitely a blessing for Believers to celebrate Sukkot (and all of the other Biblical Feasts for that matter.) The blessing comes in the context in which you celebrate it. God tells His people to celebrate Sukkot forever (I see all Believers as "God's people.) So there is the element of...

When Jesus told His followers to follow the Law. Matthew 5:18-19 "18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one...

Leviticus chapters 1-6 break down all of the sacrifice instructions in a pretty detailed manner. There are several different sacrifices for different sins that have different procedures. Hand placement by either the priest or the person offering the sacrifice are listed there.

Chag Sameach, to those who celebrate this incredible Feast!

False.

I find it interesting that in all of these 36 posts about the purpose of the Sabbath and the Law, there are only 2 Old Testament Scripture references given so far by anyone. It seems to me that if we want to understand the true and original intent of the Law, that we should start with what God...

Very true, although I would say that every command God has given has a spiritual revelation and application to it as well if we take the time to seek it out. Unfortunately this conclusion isn't Scripturally accurate. Yes, you could make a case that there is a "Lord's Day" that is different from...

In reality, the entire Bible, the New Testament included, is full of instructions and commandments that we would be wise to obey. And even expected to obey if we are to be doers of the word. The New Testament alone has hundreds, maybe even up to 1,000 commands for a Christian to obey. But few...

Every child is different and responds to different kinds of discipline differently. I have 6 kids and don't believe there is a "one size fits all" method of discipline. The key is prayer and diligence in how to discipline each child.

Daniel 5:29 (NASB) "Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom."

Just about with any area of obedience God calls us to walk in, it takes time and prayer to discover how God wants us to honor the Sabbath. Our relationship with God is ever-changing and growing, and setting apart the Sabbath for us has had many different looks over the years. Currently, this is...

Hey, thanks for remembering me! It's been many, many years. Good to be back, though!

Daniel 4:4 "I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and happy in my palace."

When I married my wife almost 23 years ago, I made a covenant with her (and with God) to be her husband. If I choose to not do the laundry, mow the lawn, go out on dates with her or any other expected duties of a husband, will I still be married? Yes. Will either of us be very happy? No. When I...
