    Is it okay to eat pork?

    I actually recently addressed this Law: the "same law for the foreigner and the native-born" is "let each man be fully convinced in his own mind" (Ro 14:5), so that "anything that is not of faith is sin" (Ro 14:23), because "God's righteousness [not our own from the Law Php 3:9] is revealed from...

    Yeah, 4:21-31 says those who are under the Law are "in bondage", then, in Galatians 5:1, he says, "do not submit yourselves to a yoke of bondage".

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    So, similar to myself, it seems, you want people to stick to the topic.

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    In the few interactions we've had, I have found you to be a dishonest person--I would not even continue with you, except that addressing your dishonesty will provide opportunities for others to learn.

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    So, what I said stands unaddressed. Jesus Himself did away with parts of the Law. Your issue is with Jesus--of course, also with Paul.

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    How did the Gentile believers qualify as "doers of the Law" without even knowing the Law (Ro 2:13-16, 26, 27) if your interpretation of Scripture is correct ?

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    No, actually... Romans 14 14I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Paul teaches that each one's personal conviction is the Law of God they are to live by--for Paul, his conviction from and...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    You don't read my answers, so I am on the verge of not continuing in conversation, as it is vain--I said those who walk after the Spirit fulfill the "righteous requirement of the Law".

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    What I know (and @TonyChanYT can tell us if he feels the same here) is when I make a post I am frustrated when I see people not staying on topic.

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    He said those who walk after the spirit, who serve not after the oldness of the letter but in newness of the Spirit of Grace ("serve one another by faith"), fulfill the Law's "righteous requirement" (not all of it is required--eg, Jesus called making and keeping of vows "of the evil one" Mt 5...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    We really ought to try to stick to the topic.

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    Paul himself is dead to the Law (Gal 2:19), and teaches Jewish believers the same (Ro 6:14, 7), and Gentile Christians certainly aren't under the Law (never were required to keep it--eg, its dietary restrictions), and Paul reprimands the Gentile Christians in Galatia for being under the Law (eg...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    Definitely, Gentile believers aren't--Gentiles never were held to those laws--so, the most anyone could argue from Isaiah 66 would be that Jewish believers would be bound to keep those dietary laws... and there would be ample NT teaching to the contrary.

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    Paul knew Isaiah 66, and still taught that he wasn't under Law, and that other Jewish believers weren't either (Ro 6:14, 7; Gal 2:19). It's an interesting question (how to reconcile Is 66 with Paul's teaching on being under Law, foods being clean, etc), but, since he knew the Scriptures, and...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    I look forward to the follow up question, BUT, about the Sabbath question, I try to be careful to remain on topic, because I hate it so much when I have a thread and people INSIST on being off-topic, running away from the arguments.

    REST for God's People!

    Doesn't Romans 14 say that some Christians do not observe a day, and they do so as unto the Lord, and some Christians observe the day, and they do so as unto the Lord--and doesn't Paul, in Galatians, actually express anxiety over the Galatians being "under Law", and "observing days"?

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    @BarneyFife I deleted my response, because it is off topic, but I look forward to your reply to my response on the correct thread.

    Wasn't sure where you were coming from. LOL I provided another answer. It's a great question actually.
