So if there is no reason you have for negating the laws of old, then...?

Question

Then you guys are sinning by eating shellfish, and this display of racism i see is also going against what is written, (along with many many other things u do...)

Exodus 22:9
9 "Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt.

So Jesus came to "fulfill" the law as u say, i fail to see how you interpret fulfilment as negating. i have yet to see someone point out the verse where jesus says, "you CAN eat shellfish now" or anything else that you say he negated.

CMW. or perhaps you need to learn how to read. feel free to go back to my previous TWO questions to see where this is comeing from.

LOL jean, im glad u dont like, the less you eat, the more there is for me. mwahaha.

Answer 1

Exactly. I have been thinking the same thing about how fullfillment equals negation. Keep it up, dude. You are one of the rising stars here.

Answer 2

1) Moral laws and Judaic laws are not the same.

2) No law was ever negated. Jesus fulfilled and taught to keep the law. [moral]

Peter, an Israelite, followed Jewish law. He was given a revelation concerning the kosher law:

Peter went up to the flat roof to pray. It was about noon, and he was hungry. But while lunch was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw the sky open, and something like a large sheet was let down by its four corners. In the sheet were all sorts of animals, reptiles, and birds. Then a voice said to him, "Get up, Peter; kill and eat them."
"Never, Lord," Peter declared. "I have never in all my life eaten anything forbidden by our Jewish laws."
The voice spoke again, "If God says something is acceptable, don't say it isn't." The same vision was repeated three times. Then the sheet was pulled up again to heaven.
Peter was very perplexed. What could the vision mean?
Acts 9,10


Possibly that grace is extended to gentiles without Judaic restrictions?

Answer 3

Well Chippy,
Romans 10:4 says:
"Christ is the end of the Law ....."
Ephesians 2:15 says:
"By means of his flesh he abolished the Law of commandments consisting in decrees"
Colossians 2:14 says:
"He blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and He has taken it out of the way..."
Romans 7:6 says:
"But now we have been discharged from the Law....."

Anyone following the Law of old is obliged to take a sheep into his house for a week and then slaughter it.
We should be happy Christ put an end to that system.

Answer 4

Who here has racist feelings against shellfish? I don't.

Seriously, you need to take some writing courses, then come back and clean this up. You can't expect a clear answer to such a poorly-written question.

Hmmm. It's Chippy, again, right? You've been spanked before.

Answer 5

Christs coming voided the old testament by giving us a new law, and that law brought us into the future so we wouldn't have to live in the past like so many still do today, the old testament has no place in today's world.

Answer 6

ROMANS 14:14
I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; still, it is unclean for someone who thinks it unclean.
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of food and drink, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the holy Spirit;

Answer 7

The dream of the dancing foods...can't remember verses or chapters...

Is CMW one of the nice Christians? It gets so hard to tell sometimes...

Answer 8

Bugs I say....they are bugs...ick.


The laws were written for the jews, not the gentiles!
Exodus 31:16 (New King James Version)

New King James Version (NKJV)

16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.

Read ACTs 15, we are saved by FAITH not works of the law.
5Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses."

6The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? 11No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."

12The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them. 13When they finished, James spoke up: "Brothers, listen to me. 14Simon[a] has described to us how God at first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for himself. 15The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:
16" 'After this I will return
and rebuild David's fallen tent.
Its ruins I will rebuild,
and I will restore it,
17that the remnant of men may seek the Lord,
and all the Gentiles who bear my name,
says the Lord, who does these things'[b]
18that have been known for ages.[c]

19"It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath."

Answer 9

Don't forget, that junk was written a long time ago by guys who weren't any too gall darn schmart.
