Remember, not one jot of title of the law will pass away until heaven and earth does.

I know that. You know that. Others don't agree.

Well, let us consider your agruments about the phasing out of sacrifices. That they were a temporary thing until mankind learned to offer the true sacrifice of a repentent and contrite heart.

I see no reason why the dietary laws are not in a similar category. In the NT, Jesus does teach that it is what comes out of a man's mouth rather than what goes in to it that makes him clean or unclean. The special dietary practices are an external thing, that pales in cmparison to an authentic renewal inside. One could be holy and eat pork, or sinful and avoid it. The outward sign's time has passed.

The other main item would be Sunday worship, and we have covered this before as well. I am following my authority and celebrating the New Creation, not he rest from the old.
