You speak of the old covenant that was given unto Moses for the Hebrews to adhere to Since the death and resurrection of Christ ...Christians live under the new covenant and I can show you in the NT where God directly shows his followers that they can eat whatever they want to [/quote] "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.(Matthew 5:17-20)" So sorry, but thanks for playing. sadpriceisrighttuba.wav [/quote] Acts 10 9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. [/quote] Please continue down to verse 28 to find out what God really showed Peter. “You yourselves know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with or to visit a Gentile; but God has shown me that I should not call [u]anyone[/u] profane or unclean." Food isn't the issue here. [/quote] First Timothy 4 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. [/quote] That still doesn't excuse you for mixing textiles, which you've no doubt done on many occasions, nor the myriad other Old Testament laws that you've broken. Or does this 'new covenant' you speak of abolish the laws of Leviticus and Deuteronomy? [/quote] Why yes, it does. We are under a new covenant, the covenant of grace. You see, if you can follow here, the old Testament Israel was a Theocracy, it no longer exists and there is no longer a Temple there. If you go forward you will see there is no longer a government on earth where God is the head and the people are joined into a bi lateral covenant, as in, if thou will, I will - now we are under grace, as in, I did it all for you, dying the death required for sin, so you might live. Isn't God good? He knew the Israelis and even the world could not keep their part of any covenant, fallen as we are, so He gave us mercy in the death of His Son, who paid the price in full, once for all, for those that are called, chosen and elected.

I'm a Christian and I believe homosexuality is a sin and that God is displeased with it but why is it that the majority of "Christians " believe that it's ok to divorce your spouse and remarry when Jesus himself forbids it ..
The only exception he gave is to the man ....he said if a woman commits fornication (sexual sin) against her husband then the man can remarry but he never addressed the woman
