Dear Lord, you could not bring yourself to consider for even a single moment any of the questions I presented to you.
I'm gonna go do my dishes and make some pancakes.
You go ahead and keep on trusting in the lies you've been taught from childhood to believe. Never question anything. I'll continue to question everything. And I guess we will see in the end who it was that took the better approach.
No hard feelings. No condemnation.
No judgment. No worries.
Be blessed in Jesus Holy Name.
And I mean that most sincerely.
And please stop with the accusations.
If a Jew were homeless I would give him shelter. If he were naked I would clothe him, hungry and he would be fed. Fake and murderous as he may be.
What lies were you taught from childhood that you grew out of?
What I said had nothing to do with what I was told as a child...
You assume and presume way too much.

● Rom 12:16a . . Live in harmony with each other.
It isn't necessary to be in 100% agreement with others on everything in
order to comply with that command. But it is necessary to practice courtesy,
tolerance, patience, and tact, i.e. make every effort to avoid feuding,
recriminations, food fights, toxic rejoinders, pay back, one-upmanship, and
perpetual debating that never gets to the bottom of anything. The opposite
of harmony is dissonance, which can be defined as a mingling of sounds that
strike the ear harshly, e.g. sour notes.
For some people, every disagreement is an act of war to be won at any cost.
That's not harmony, that's militant. It's far and away better for Christians to
be diplomatic rather than be right all the time.
● 2Cor 12:19-20 . . For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I
want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that
there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander,
gossip, arrogance and disorder.
● 1Thess 5:11 . . Therefore encourage one another, and build each other up,
just as in fact you are doing.
Building up is just the opposite of tearing down. Christians in Galatia were
busy doing the latter.
● Gal 5:15 . . But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be
not consumed one of another!
Biting and devouring one another describes cannibals and carnivorous
beasts.

I guess you haven't been to Auschwitz, or even met a survivor.
While some things may be, not everything is a hoax.
David Duke of the KKK loved to cite the Talmud to vindicate his antisemitism.
This is what you are missing.
The Talmud is not Torah.
Its a compilation of opinion written by certain religious Jews.
Jesus condemned the Pharisees without hesitation.
Jesus was being the perfect Rabbi.
Why such condemnation from Jesus of the typical Pharisees?
For too much of what is found in the Talmud was written with the mindset of the Pharisees.
Most Jews today would shy away from what the Talmud professes in its anti Gentile parts.
Stop being ignorant and assuming Jews all follow the Talmud.
”You? Its a Twinkie?
For kids... not adults."
Do you even read what you post?
Also, my Avatar is a picture of Jonathan Edwards, a Christian reformer during the Great Awakening.
phunnneee! once in a while, we may be rushed for time at work so we'll have lunch at wendy's. also, if at someone's house, at a party, we eat what they cook & usually the food is terrible. my goodness, sometimes it's real bad but we don't want to disrespect people & walk out. i was blessed in my childhood years to have parents who were excellent cooks & bakers. so i'm spoiled on gourmet food.

● 2 Tim 2:23-26 . . Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid
arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant
must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not
resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that
God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,
and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the
devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

I do. The dietary laws are for our own good, as Paul says: "Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial". God told the israelites what foods are fit for human consumption and we as Christians should take heed in my opinion
The biblical feasts cannot be kept in a way that the bible demands, but if I had a family I would definitely keep the feasts in some way, would be fun for the family and its a great way to learn about Jesus Christ and what He did for us and His redemption plan.

● Col 4:6 . . Let your speech be always full of grace, seasoned with salt
Grace can be defined as kind, courteous, gentle, patient, lenient, inclined to
good will, generous, charitable, altruistic, compassionate, sympathetic,
thoughtful, cordial, affable, genial, sociable, cheerful, warm, sensitive,
hospitable, considerate, and tactful.
It seems to me from the language and grammar of Matt 5:13, Mark 9:50,
and Luke 14:34 that the primary purpose of salt is to enhance flavor and
make otherwise naturally insipid and/or bad-tasting things palatable, viz:
salt can be thought of as diplomacy; roughly defined as conversation that
makes an effort to maintain peace rather than provoke conflict and/or annoy
people and make them uncomfortable.
● Matt 5:9 . . Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of
God.

That was nice.
Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.
1 Timothy 5:20
Paul said.....
Milk is for babies. Meat is for adults.
Let's have another Great Awakening.
We can not all remain spiritual babies.
I do. Once God deems something an abomination - it stays that way. God knows what’s best for us, He created us after all. There is no scripture that says we can eat unclean foods, at least not in the original transcripts- some of the new ones added to God’s Word- which will have to answer to God when He comes as that is clearly prohibited.
To me this passage at His Second Coming makes clear He did not change His mind about foods He deemed unclean
Isa 66:17
“Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves,
To go to the gardens
[a]After an idol in the midst,
Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,
Shall be consumed together,” says the Lord.
I’m not sure why one would want to eat some God deemed an abomination. God gave us plenty of clean foods to eat!
