Dietary law introduction
The invisible God, who cannot be seen nor heard, intended to reveal himself through the word, works, life, death, resurrection, and indwelling Spirit of his Son. [1]
From the earliest days of the church, the question of what may be eaten by Jews and Christians after the cross has been debated. Those called 'legalists' by their opponents, argue for the most ridged understanding and practice of the Jewish dietary law. Though there are many middle positions, the extreme says that diet doesn't matter at all.
- They all miss the point. The dietary law has nothing to do with what you eat or drink. [2] [3] [4] The dietary law is 'dinner theater'. You learn while you eat.
- ↑ All scripture speaks of Christ
- ↑ Mt 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
- ↑ Mt 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
- ↑ 1Co 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
- ↑ 1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
- ↑ Augustine claimed that the Septuagint was more reliable than the original Hebrew.
- ↑ Ac 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
- ↑ Ac 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.
