For my part I decided to focus on "the easy part" - which is "don't eat diseased meat, rats,cats, dogs bats" - I am amazed at the push back you can get on such obvious statements from scripture in Lev 11.

Actually it is a very sad state of affairs. If people rightly divided God's Word, or actually if people simply chose willingly to follow Jesus, little would have had to be said or repeated so often. It is because the enemy has corrupted so much that the thread is even here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People arnt opposed to not eating bats. They're opposed to your emphasis of the law over Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read many many of his posts, and never once saw him emphasize the law over Jesus, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galatians 3:24 This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ doesn't answer the question at all. For example, many religious leaders (spoken of in the NT) taught and told the people about the law every day, especially on every one of YHWH'S SABBATH DAYS, without ever telling the people about Jesus..... So , in other words, it is entirely possible to tell people all about the law without ever telling them (consciously, wittingly) about Jesus.

I'm just not sure about everyone being "under a mandate by God to rightly divide His Word" .... since there are almost no one anywhere who does..... even amongst large groups of 'Christians' (at least in name).... 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) [15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. since there are almost no one anywhere who does..... God has never given us license to cease seeking His truth because there are fewer who do! Since you agree the Law came and condemnation was upon all men it's purpose toward man was fulfilled as Paul wrote here Romans 7:9 (KJV) [9] For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. [10] And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. [11] For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. [12] Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. [13] Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. The Law provided sight of sin in ourselves and in that we could see that we were dead and separated from God with no hope of ever being acceptable to a Holy Righteous God... especially magnified by this verse Hebrews 10:4 (KJV) [4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. So now that we have the why the Law could not be salvic in nature... we must look elsewhere right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False accusation alone - is not the same thing as a substantive claim in fact. I am sure we would both agree to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
