[Faith-talk] The Bible and the Law.

[Poppa Bear via Faith-talk]

I think you did fine Debbie. If anyone is interested in understanding the
why and how of where we as Christians stand in this new covenant, I believe
that those who have responded so far have laid out the situation clear
enough for a seeker of the truth to be able to get the picture clear enough
to pursue it in detail, or close the door on it and move on to the next
criticism.
Blessings

Hi! Well, you make some interesting points.  First of all, in the Acts of
the Apostles, Peter has a vision where he is told to eat of all that is
shone him.  (I'm paraphrasing).  He says, I can't do that, I've never eaten
anything unclean.  He has the vision a couple more times.  Then Peter is
told by the Lord that there are people waiting for him, Gentiles.  At that
time, Jews were not supposed to even enter the house of a Gentile.  Then, as
Paul begins preaching to the Gentiles, it comes down to the first Church
Council and the decision is that Gentiles do not need to follow Jewish law,
dietary or otherwise.  You can head all of this in Chapter 15 of Acts, also
in Galatians where Paul tells the Gentiles not to let the Judaizers, (that
is, those Jewish Christians who think that they need to make all Christians
follow Jewish Law) from destroying them.  That's the beginning, I would say.
I'm sure POPPA Bear or someone will articulate this much 
better.    Peace,    Debby
