You know.....I hear this silliness a couple of times a year and have yet to have a legitimate explanation of this.
The command from James was [Acts 15:18-21] Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
Where does this say the Dietary Laws were done away with? I go nuts trying to see the connection. Can someone explain it to me?
Then they use this: [Acts 15:28-29] 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
What in the world does this have to do with [Leviticus 11]......God's Dietary Laws? James is speaking of the Halakha Laws found in [Leviticus 17 and 18]. James is telling the Gentile converts to do the same thing that Moses told the Israelites to do. How is this doing away with anything?
Acts 10. It may not be in your Seventh Day Adventist Bible.
