Of course it is irrelevent, since we "Christians" can't seem to keep even two that Jesus gave us.

my two cents

Q

The two encompass the seven which encompass the 10 which encompass the 613...

I'm not talking about connections with God and going to heaven and all that. I'm talking about the rules on how to live following the ten commandments. You can throw them out the window if you want, but those are specific instructions on how to live a healthy lifestyle; that we may live longer and have more time to strengthen our relationship before leaving this earth.

Yes but the gentiles are grafted into the covenant through Jesus Christ.. It would have been better had you not learned the truth then heard it and not lived it.. We are all subject to the Law without Jesus Christ if we have heard the truth and not excepted it. That is the purpose of spreading the gospel so that everyone will hear it.

I agree that the laws are meant to show us how to live a righteous life.. I also believe that He wrote the laws on our hearts so we can know right from wrong.

Right.

I'm talking about Leviticus 11. And even Leviticus 7. You think God said 'not to' just because He didn't want you to? If you read Leviticus 11 and apply that to the knowledge that you understand today about hypertension which leads to stroke and heartattack and things like cancer and the such, then you will understand that God didn't say these things were to sacrifice just for the nature of sins (well, unless you can see a sin outside of the whole damnation to fire and brimstone bit).

To kill an animal or anything else should not be a joy. Since one must eat, then it can be done respectful of life - such as a sacrifice unto the Lord. Let it be done ritualisticly so that the taking of a life in any form be not in vain - but I might be waaaaaaayyyy off here - since there are plenty of folk that kill for sport. The general message for me was the Israelites not taking these things (their new found independence) in vain.

For those who eat meat for leftovers, Leviticus 7:15-17 may be interesting. A bit of information that most of us already know without Bible help - perhaps through a health fair or something. My point is that the information is valid and not just some ritualistic mumbo jumbo that Christ died for to eradicate.

I think this would be good topic for another thread I have some ideas about Healthy lifestyles taken from the bible. I see what your saying though.. God protected us by telling us the things which are good to eat.. I personally believe the Sabbath was meant for this same purpose.. work for 6 days and rest the 7th.. people need a break from laboring or suffer stress depression and health problems. Anyways I get your point Truth

Thanks, Faithful.

For those who believe we serve a wrathful and vengeful God, although man sinned against God He still loved us so much that He gave us chance after chance after chance. He didn't just send man out of the garden of Eden to die. He is still giving us chances through the information in Levitus, other stuff, Jesus' sacrifice, natural wisdom since we don't read the NT for what it is...
