Why Don't Christians Follow Dietary Law?

[valet]

The object sacrificed was usually an animal that was ritually slaughtered and then transferred from the human to the divine realm by being burned on an altar. After the destruction of the Second Temple, sacrifices were prohibited because there was no longer a Temple, the only place allowed by halakha for sacrifices.

So how are your sins covered then?

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Yeah, you call them the Mitzvot.

Jews call them that and I am not a Jew. Be that as it may, if you're picking and choosing what to follow based on historical circumstances, just like Christians, then you really can't make the criticism you're making without being an absolute hypocrite.​

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Yes, I agree it was a metaphor but it also showed him the New Covenant was a change in dietary as well. There is no verse that shows he went on to eat unclean foods. Doesn't mean that this verse you posted shows that you can't

That verse does not prove the dietary law. I told you what it ment.

19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

No where in the bible God said, you dont have to keep the dietary law anymore. The NT wasnt even out when the bible was made. Therefore the disciples in the were teaching out of the OT. Show me one scripture that says the NT apostles taught we dont have to keep the dietary law anynore?

What verse it says Peter rose up and ate unclean foods?

Do not argue with people who used that as a reason to eat unclean foods..

That was supposed to be a msg to Paul saying the once unclean white people can now receive the word of salvation

So how are your sins covered then?

Through faith in Jesus christ.........

You show your faith by keeping the law.

And not the law concerning sacrifices because Jesus was your sacrifice..

All of this is written in the bible..

Do folks know during the kingdom all of these feast, sabbaths etc will be kept?????? they never went away, that is what rome did. They changed the calendar and told people not celebrate these but, Keep sunday holy, Christmas, valentines, thanksgiving , new years, birthdays all these things are pagan nothing to do with the law or what the hebrews did lol

.

Paul addressed that criticism in Romans 14......1900 years ago. The calendar was standardized because differing cultures within the Roman Empire had different calendars which made organizing anything in those times rather hectic for administrative purposes.

Imagine if each Nation, today, had different calendars.

The dietary law is apart of the NT.
◄ Acts 10:14 ►

But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent (aka change his mind). hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

The Most High aint gone tell people its ok to eat rats now because your forefathers broke the previous contract agreement.

Exactly. People need to read the book to understand that we’re given grace but it’s not encouragement to sin!

This was addressed here and can apply to other sins as well.

Matthew 19:3-9
answers the Pharisees concerning divorcement
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

But whats the Jewish answer is what im.asking.

 

[posterchild336]

I always wondered besides the SDA and Orthodoxy was why don't most Christians follow dietary law from the Old Testament. They continue to eat Pork, Crab, Lobster, and Shellfish. However, when homosexuality and premarital sex comes up they go back to the OT. Why is this? Do most Western Christians just pick and choose? Muslims follow Halal and Jews keep kosher.

only follow what alligns with personal believes..like god put junk food on earth for us to indulge

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Every calendar has 7 days on them..

NOW they do, but the Egyptian calendar had 10 while the Roman had 8. Babylonians had 7 day weeks.

The 7-day week was 'standardized' around 45 BCE.​

Romans 14 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.

Fornication and homosexuality are forbidden in the new testament and dietary laws are not the covenant that Christians are under

What verse did Jesus forbid homosexuality or did u make ur own laws
