Indeed. Thus your "ignore God's Law" argument seems to have failed.
How is it then that Deut 22 could in any way help you make an actual Bible argument to the contrary?
Because it is a part of the (as is Lev.11).
Lev. 11 is a part of the law which you keep. Deut. 22 is a law which you ignore or refuse to keep. You are a hypocrite in that you choose to pick parts of the law--the ones you want to obey, and the others you want to ignore or disobey.
Why do you ignore my questions?
How would the law be obeyed by the Israelites?
How would the law be obeyed today if applied in a practical way?
In Matt 22 Christ quotes Lev 19:18 and Deut 6:5 as being the foundation for all of God's Word - all of the Law and the prophets.
And does he quote specifically the dietary law? No. Thus your hypocrisy is still showing.
You appear to claim that all of scripture was deleted and replaced by Deut 6:5 and Lev 19:18 so that the Acts 17:11 "sola scriptura" method seen in practice "Studying the scrptures to SEE IF those things spoken to them by Paul were so" is made void.
You ignore Deut.22:11 to your sola scriptura. It is just as valid as Lev.11. If you include other Pauline epistles you find that the law is abolished, nailed to the cross, is valid no more except as a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. We are no longer under the law--which includes the dietary law.
Why go after the sola-scriptura method just now DHK after you have upheld it in previous discussions?
I have never left it. You have. And I believe you have left it because you have been influenced by the writings of the Ellen G. White, even though you will not admit it.
In 1Cor 6 Paul said that your body is the temple of God - and God would destroy those who destroy that temple.
Pork is one of the safest foods in the nation to eat. If you really believed what you just posted you would stay away from sugar, salt, "junk food," saturated fats, most processed foods, etc. Do you live like that? Do you live on a farm and eat of the produce thereof? Do you practice what you preach? Pork, that is sold in the stores, is one of the safest and healthiest meats on the market, safer and healthier even then red meat such as ground beef.
Thus God's command not to eat rats, cats and mice -- which you claim is a doctrine of a demon - cannot be "bent" the way you appear to hope.
I hope that God would call you to be a missionary to Thailand where cat or dog would be regular fare.
Paul said
1 Corinthians 9:21-22 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
But you would disobey that command if God called you to Thailand, and would not be able to win souls in that nation. You would not be able to become "like the Thais that you might gain the Thais that you might by all means save some."
That is the meaning of the verse even if it means eating cat and dog. It is not the cat and dog that is unclean.
Mark 7:18-23 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said,
That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Have you considered that point - so far?
Have you considered the above point so far. I think not!!
