Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Acts of the Apostles
(New Testament)
Colossians 2
Freedom From Human Rules
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
(End of Scripture Passage)
Now Paul gets into some practical considerations which are still a cause for controversy to this very day.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
In previous centuries, hospitals, orphanages, and old-age homes were run by Religious organizations. To this day, the names of these institutions reflect their origins. Names like "Mount Sinai", "Holy Cross", St. Jude's Hospital", etc, remind us that, once upon a time, the world's religions were the ones who served the public in these ways.
Back in the 1940's, my aunt Mary got a job in one of these great institutions in the food service department. The hospital was founded by a Christian Denomination that attempted to keep the law of Moses with regard to foods. (The hospital still exists, but only its name reflects its religious origin). Anyway, the serving of Kosher meats on such a large scale was so difficult that the hospital eschewed meat entirely, and served up a plethora of "meat substitutes". Each new attempt was a source of mirth and hilarity, when Mary came home and described the latest concoction.
There were peanut butter patties disguised as a hamburger, brown lentils shaped into something that looked like a lamb chop, and the ubiquitous soybean traveling incognito as "meatloaf". It was just nasty. Now the hospital has merged with the largest Jewish hospital in the region, and due to the secularization of health care, NEITHER of them keep Kosher.
As much as I love my Brothers and Sisters from that denomination, (and their basic doctrines are pretty sound except for that meat thing) I would have to disagree on their dietary restrictions, especially as they enforced their menu upon others who did not believe the same. And, not only do I disagree with them, but so does St. Paul! He touches upon this issue in other letters, so it was not an isolated problem with the Colossians.
Now, I am about to embark upon a very difficult weekend, moving my nephew from the Boston area to the North Woods of Maine. My sister will be staying with me as we coordinate this epic journey, and there is a blizzard coming. (UGH!). So I won't be posting the thread this weekend, and will pick it up again on either Monday or Tuesday. See you then!
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
Because of the Lords great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.
Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV)
God Bless America!

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM! And for the Preservation of the Valiant Israeli Nation!

ET no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of |
angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
_________________________________________Colossians 2:16-23 (KJV) |

Prayers up for you for travel this weekend.
Pack your car with blankets, water, and food and keep a full tank of gas.
Portsmouth had pretty cheap gas when we went through there last month.
