Why Don't Christians Follow Dietary Law?

[SirReginald]

Acts 10: 9-16

9 The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roofto pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.11 He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air. 13Then a voice said to him: “Get up,Peter, kill and eat!14“No, Lord! Peter answered. “ I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.15 The voice spoke to him a second time: “ Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.16 This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

God, not Paul abolished that in the New Testament. Christians believe in the new Testament which abolished the law of the Old Testament.

Still, Christians follow OT laws like the 10 commandments. Also, this sounds like that statement contradicted what g-d originally said about eating unclean food. It's either you can or you can't.

So is the bible a science book or fairy ducktales?

Both... Man added the duck tales to the science..

you’re supposed to eat meat drained of all blood.. so well done

Just cause it's pink in the middle doesn't mean it's not drained of blood

I dont know many Christians that obey the sabbath, so they ain't even following the 10 commandments at this point.

 

[SirReginald]

Because those things are all fukking delicious that's why

Had some Pernil on Sunday and that shyt soothed my soul

It still doesn't explain why you aren't following the law.

It’s a life guide, told through parables.

I'm vegan. Also, most Christians just pick and choose.

I wonder how many of these steak merchants were involved in the original publications versus the pig farmers and fisherman?
Obviously as an agnositic, i believe Jesus existed and was a real person(no super powers), but i still assume regular humans wrote the bible and likely had very specific motives in mind when establishing certain rules.
Like if the CEO of an Oil company and the NRA provided input into a third testament there would probably be scripture from MLK jr as the newest apostle encouraging us to stay away from electric cars and never leave the house unarmed.

True. Besides the Seventh-Day Adventists and Orthodox not to many follow the 1 commandments. I agree with you there.

I left Christianity at thee same grade lol.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Religion is stupid like that. It's all a joke. Good hustle though

yes, the thousands of pastors making $60k a year working 7 days a week while providing service to their community are all just hustling. The Catholic church and the handful of wealthy preachers got yall thinking everyone is balling somehow

 

[Chip Skylark]

Because they follow their own interpretations

hell black Christians are the worst

especially the sisters I come across... they don’t follow shyt out the Bible and make their own rules

There are a lot of hypocrites but let’s not get out of hand here.

I could’ve sworn the majority in america are predominately Christians
