Much to the dismay of the average Christian the God of the Old Testament iIS the God of the New Testament.
Therefore when the Bible says: God is not a man, that he should lie... (Numbers 23:19), it is talking about Jesus.
And Also, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." Hebrews 13:8
Let's call these "foundation facts."
Soo, when the Bible says it is: "And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten." Leviticus 11:7-8, 46-47
It Reeeally means they may not be eaten.
Some would argue that is Moses Law. I would argue the 10th chapter of Hebrews...
"He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?" Hebrews 10:28-29
Here the apostle Paul asked a question but today #StudyTheBibleNotTheSermon Will actually answer the question.
The law was dictated to Moses by Christ. When the people broke the law Christ had some people stoned and others were able to kill animals in their place. Christ came in the flesh to end animal sacrifice and bring in reconciliation for sins. Then, you accept Christ, get baptized and proceed to break the same law, that he had people stoned for breaking?
"For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many. They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord." Isaiah 66:15-17
First of all this is prophecy that has not yet come to pass.
Food4Thought (you do the dishes): The next time someone tries to tell you Jesus fulfilled everything in the Old Testament, just know that He has not yet done this.
This is therefore Jesus who will come by fire and will consume people who eat swines flesh together with all the other abominations (like homosexuals, idolaters, whoremongers and murderers)!
Not yet convinced, let's go ask Christianity's favorite apostle… The apostle Paul;
Who is this Lord that will come with fire: "And to you who are troubled rest with us, whenthe Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power" 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
So Jesus is the Lord that would destroy those that know not God, nor his Word!
Remember: Jesus is not a Powder-puff;
He is a Killer, come correct or your head gets taken off.
first The Lord was giving that commandment to Israel, not The Church !1 Timothy 4:4 for everything GOD created is good , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. also read 1 Tim.4:3 and Acts 11:7-9 learn to rightfully divide The Word of GOD ! people souls are at stake , while you are teaching error.
ReplyDeletedear brother I understand why you believe what you believe, I was taught those things for many years.
Deleteanyone reading this comment should search my page for a more detailed reply I will leave a link below. 1st Timothy chapter 4 is about the Catholic Church who forbids to marry AND abstain from Meats. Acts chapter 11 is about a vision Peter saw in Acts chapter 10: His conclusion to the vision was that he should call no MAN common or unclean. if you would care to provide better examples of my, "Error," I am willing to hear.
