So let me try again and I'll be really specific. Do you dismiss kosher dietary laws? Do you dismiss the practice of genital mutilation of infant boys? Or do you accept them as Jesus did? If you accept them aren't you in the wrong religion? If you do not why are you at varirance with the god you worship? Does the fact that Christians do not practice these rituals anymore make Judaism false?(August 14, 2010 at 3:47 am)Captain Scarlet Wrote: Godschild; you tie yourself up in so many knots. Either you dismiss religions because they are no longer practised or you don't. If you do then you have to account for why you do not dismiss all the evolutionary dead ends of Christianity including the original Jewish sect. If you do not dismiss religions on this basis then you have to explain why the 1000s of dead gods and their religions aren't equally as valid. Which is it?
The Jews still practice their religion and Christianity is still alive and well. The false sects of christianity have for the most part died out and the reason is simple they did not stand up to the scrutiny of Gods Word. As for all those dead gods how is it you think that they can have any validity against the living God of creation and redeemtion. No knots in my thinking or beliefs.
The answer to your first question is yes, isn't it obvious that the kosher diet was meant for the Jews.
The word is circumcision and no I do not dismiss it, I see no religious value in it accept for the Jewish people however there are health reasons for circumcision. Paul has made it very clear that circumcision is not a requirement to salvation that would constitute salvation by works and salvation is by grace it is a gift unearned. How is it that you believe that Christ accepted these practices. Christ said it is not what you put into your body that makes one unclean it it what comes from the heart that can make one unclean. Read Acts 10 and 11 you will find your answer there if you do not believe me.
I'm not at variance with God I have a personal relationship with Him and try to obey Him as best I can. You see it is not I who does not understand it is you who has no idea what Gods word teaches study the scriptures before you bring such questions to the table. Judaism is not a false religion it is incomplete because it does not include Christ as saviour of ones soul.

Nope, there are no knots. It's all completely irrational nonsense, but distinctly knot-free irrational nonsense, which is always a bonus. So, old religions died out because they 'did not stand up to the scrutiny of God's word'? Even though God's word has apparently let Hinduism exist all this time? Hmmm. You might want to rethink that one.
Please read my response again and you will see that I was referring to the false christian sects that bit the dust because they could not stand up to God's word. As far as Hinduism, Buddhism and all other religions God says there is only one and I Am He.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
