Judi.....if you're going to condemn your friends for what their beliefs, you should at least read their book...I don't condemn Moslems on their faith because I don't feel like reading the Qur'an.
I see. JC seems to change his strategy a bit after resurrecting in Matthew or John or where that was
So the eating pork thing you say is ok because the old law doesn't apply to gentiles and also *isn't transferred* to them? Why do gentile Christians assume that other parts of the old law such as the commandments are transferred to them?
Those laws were not applied to Gentiles. I don't try and worry about them applying to the converted Jews (I assume the ban on pork may have been lifted from what I read in Acts), but I very much respect Messianic Jews who stick to their own traditions yet are also Christian....only have met one so far.
Yes, blood is banned in the Bible yet many Christian societies eat blood in one way or another based upon their Gentile cultural upbringing.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
