"puritan lad" Why is this so hard for you to understand? Let us read it clowly and Carefully "Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose ...

Was the writer of Hebrews 8 inspired by the Holy Spirit? Did he not plainly quote Jeremiah 31 and claimed that it was part of the more excellent ministry obtained by Christ. You argue that the writer quoted the Septuagint. So what? Even if that were true, big deal. Jeremiah 31 is Jeremiah 31. The w...

1Tim.4:1-5: 1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3They forbid people to marry and order them to absta...

Ruth, are you saying that Grace through faith in Christ is not enough? That all we who believe are commanded to continue to keep the law? To what point...especially for a gentile? The only Way to be saved is through the grace and love of God, He came and died in our place so we, Jew and gentile, ma...

from Puritan Lad The Scripture in 1 Timothy 4 allows for the eating of ALL meats. So did Peter's vision. I said I'd address this later but I'd forgotten. I did address this in a prior post: Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2007 5:41 am Post subject: ----------------------------------------------------- "pu...

"puritan lad" Maybe every scribe the Bible made a similar error. How can we trust any of it? So much for Jesus' promise that His word will never pass away. Does His Word include Jer.31? That's how we know when errors are made. We act like the Bereans did (Acts 17:11) and search to see if ...

"FFC" Ruth posted: No! You need to read the passage. God lowered a sheet with all kinds of animals in it; both clean and unclean! And God said to Peter, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat." God did not say, "Kill and eat the unclean animals, Peter". Peter could have obeyed God...

"FFC" Ruth said:Answer a question for me, please. In Acts 15, why was the letter sent only to the gentiles and not to the Jews? Ruth Because they were the ones taking the brunt of the ignorant and hard hearted beliefs of the Jews. What are you talking about???? The notice that 4 laws were...

Ruthrush, As if it makes any difference, Peter's vision, as mentioned by FFC, showed the purpose of OT dietary laws. They were ceremonial in nature, and ALL Jewish ceremonial laws have been fulfilled by Christ, such as circumcision, animal sacrifices, ceremonial washings, dietary laws, temple worsh...

Ruthrush, <snipped> Your comment on Hebrews tells us all we need to know about your position here. Since the writer is inspired by the Holy Spirit, I'll take his word over yours. I agree that the author is inspired by the Holy Spirit. The author could have told his scribe "Jer.31:31-33" a...

Peter, at least 10 years after the resurrrection, swore 3 times to God Almighty that he never ate anything unclean. Guess he didn't know the Law had been destroyed and I guess the other apostles never told him either. Ruth Ruth, wasn't it God that told Peter to kill and eat the unclean creature tha...

In my previous post, the smiling face is covering up an 8.

The Scripture is Matthew 5:18.

Sorry,
Ruth

"puritan lad" It is not good for you. Paul said the Law was Holy, just and good . Pork is not good. And Paul says that this is a doctrine of devils (1 Timothy 4:1-5). I'll go with what Paul says. 1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving...

Ruthrush, There is only one new covenant, and it was fulfilled by Christ (Hebrews 8:6-13). In fact, all of the Old Testament Covenants pointed to Christ, including Adam's Covenant of Works. See What is Covenant Theology ? Besides. I love ham for Christmas :wink: It is not good for you. Paul said th...
