Figure of speech there, in my post.

But yes, i'm not a Jew, and ive never felt a conviction from the Lord when i mix meat and milk.

Who is Bill?

Hi @itty-bitty lamb Good also to remember such passages as Peter's vision in Acts, where clearly dietary restrictions are seen essentially to belong to the Old Testament.

 trying to enhance the Word of God, i wouldn't feel comfortable writing them off as folly, because i would feel like i am placing a limit on God and His ability to reach the hearts of those listening.

 

@itty-bitty lamb Agreed. It's always good to make sure that the difference between the Word of God and human comment is clear, in any case.

(I am reminded sometimes of Howard Hunt the CIA's chief plumber at Watergate admitting to Congress that he had 'improved the record' of a cable sent by JFK....)

A  LIMIT  ON  GOD  ---  POOR  EXCUSE  FOR  DISOBEDIENCE

 

2 PETER 1:3  ACCORDING  AS  HIS  DIVINE  POWER  HATH  GIVEN  UNTO  US  --ALL  THINGS  THAT  PERTAIN  UNTO  LIFE  AND  GODLINESS --- THROUGH  THE  KNOWLEDGE  OF  HIM  THAT  HATH  CALLED  US  TO  GLORY  AND  VIRTUE

 

LOVING  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST

 Psa 34:8

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

@Willa Great verse there. Lots of applications I'm sure.
