This is proof positive that you do not read my (anyones?) posts before replying. Or if you do, your low reading age means that you do not understand them properly. Or did you think that @GentleGospeller is my alter ego? I firmly believe with Paul that Christians are not under any dietary...

Ah! Now I understand the situation! You think you are moderating a cake-making forum and not a theology forum. Or perhaps you are also moderator of a cake-making forum as well as this one, and you temporarily forgot with one you were on. I certainly hope you run the cake forum better than...

I think the NKJV is the best translation to be found today, but if you prefer the ESV: Mark 7:18-19 (ESV, 2011). 'And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot harm him, since it enters not his heart but his...

From the Concise Oxford English Dictionary. sinful a. (of person) full of sin, wicked; (of act) involving or characterized by sin; highly represhensible; hence --LY adv. Matthew 12:36-37. "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of...

'Halal' meat has been prayed over by an Imam or other Islamic official before the animal has its throat cut. Such prayers have zero effect on the meat or those who eat it though there are legitimate questions over animal welfare standards. My understanding is that most New Zealand lamb is halal...

One of us is sinfully wrong, but I think you'll find it is you for making unfounded accusations against a Christian brother. In general, 1 Cor. 4:3-4 covers such allegations but if anyone is uncertain as to my position on covenants, a PM will quickly resolve it

Born of God; born of Mary. Christ was true Man and true God. To deny His descent from Mary is the error of Melchiorism.

We feed upon Christ, but not in some crass, carnal way, but spiritually, by faith (c.f. 1 Cor. 3:1-3; Heb. 5:12-14). It doesn't. This is purely fanciful, driven by your faulty tradition. The woman in Genesis 3 is plainly Eve and there is not even a hint of 'immaculate conception.' Without...

The translation I use almost invariably here is the NKJV. This is a discussion forum. I am very happy to discuss the matter with you.

Just read the Bible, mate. "Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from the outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" What is it about "all foods" that you don't understand? Obviously, if you are...

What can I say? Just read Mark 7:14ff. Our Lord does not say that murder, idolatry and adultery cannot defile you; He says that eating food cannot defile you. The one is the moral law, the other is dietary law.

The same applies. Shiva and Kali aren't real. If someone tells you, "This food was offered to Shiva or Kali," you shouldn't eat it because of 1 Cor. 10. Not because the food might defile you - it won't - but you would not want whoever tells you to think that you think that Shiva and Kali...

Mark 7:18-19. 'So He said to them, ""Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" And He said, "What comes out of a man...

The Bible tells us that it is by His death and resurrection that we shall be saved. I really don't need to go into your unbiblical musings. If Mary needed to be sinless from birth, so did her mother and her grandmother and so on ad infinitum. The Roman Catholics have invented a mother for her...

She was saved by faith, likethe rest of us, including all the O.T. saints (e.g. Gen. 15:6; John 6:56; Heb. 11).

The Bible teaches that the Lord Jesus is fully Man and fully God. Of that there is (should be) no doubt. Mark 4:35-41 is maybe the simplest passage to establish that. His mother Mary was a sinner like the rest of us. Of that there is (should be) no doubt. Luke 1:46-47. 'and Mary said, "My...

The UK National Debt is somewhere around £3 trillion, which is about the same proprtion of GDP. China's National Debt is around 100 trillion Yuan, which is about $14 trillion.

Mark 7:14-23, esp. 17-19. That would be the moral law.
