The dietary laws were overturned in Acts. Jesus broke the Sabbath Laws by healing on the Sabbath and allowing his followers to pick grain on the Sabbath.

I know this. But I’m curious as to why DouglasKC feels it necessary to beat people over the head with one part of Judaic law when I’m guessing he doesn’t follow all of it.

A common, and quite fallacious opinion. What did PETER think the vision was about?

Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But G0d has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Acts 10:28

What is not generally known is that the traditions regarding interacting with Gentiles were very strict, but NOT in the Bible. Peter needed some convincing that it is the Almighty, and NOT man that decides what is unclean or common. The Almighty spoke in Leviticus 11, and only a fool would say that it does not apply to him.

As for "Jesus breaking the Sabbath" - again, you are quite confused. No where did He break the Sabbath laws of Scripture. Jesus did not keep some of the Sabbath TRADITIONS of the First Century - but those were TRADITIONS of men - not the words of the Almighty.

BTW, if Jesus broke the Sabbath, we all would be without hope... that would make Him a sinner - and only a perfect lamb is permitted.

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?

Oh....by the way. It wasn't against the law to heal on the Sabbath.....either. [Mark 7:1-13] It was against the traditions of men (Pharisee's)(verse 8).

You're really batting "0" now!
