Good, so God does not say in Deut 14.8 that all carcasses are not to be touched. Great - He only forbids eating and touching of pig carcasses in that verse.

Now, Jesus says:

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

God says, 'Don't eat pork'. Jesus says ' follow God's commandments'.



Why do Pauline Christians think it is ok to eat pork and not be circumcised? Can't be because of what Jesus taught or the early disciples understood.

Why do Pauline Christians think it is ok to eat pork and not be circumcised?

Or eating shellfish, right?

Why don't you read the New Testament?

Can't be because of what Jesus taught or the early disciples understood.

I'll pretend I haven't explained this to you: this was a school of thought in 1st century Judaism.

I just quoted the NT.

Jesus didn't say it was ok to eat pork, and the early disciples all followed the Jewish law. Jesus did say that the law should be followed.

Still can't see your answer as to why Pauline Christians like you think it is ok to eat pork given that Jesus didn't teach it was ok. Which is what the main point in the OP is.

Jesus didn't say it was ok to eat pork

He didn't say it was ok to eat shellfish, did he?

and the early disciples all followed the Jewish law. Jesus did say that the law should be followed.

For all time, right?

O Feeble-Minded-One, when you will learn to read, attempt to understand answers given and stop repeating yourself?

When you explain why you think it is ok to eat pork, then you can also explain about shell fish too.

I'm more interested in why you are avoiding answering the question why you choose to eat pork when God says it is unclean and forbidden, and Jesus taught that the law should be followed.

I guess I was right in the OP, Pauline Christians don't have a good answer to this question. Should you come up with an answer, I'll gladly read it and comment. Your name calling and avoidance of the issue is tiresome.

When you explain why you think it is ok to eat pork

I didn't give a personal opinion on eating pork. Did I?

I did mention the answer is in 1st century Jewish theology. Are you too feeble minded to do basic research on your own?

Anyway, it seems you're intent on making up lies and repeating yourself.

I'm more interested in why you are avoiding answering the question why you choose to eat pork

You're interested in something your crippled brain imagined, are you?

I'm not surprised. When you find that quote that I choose to eat pork, please share it with me.

I guess I was right in the OP, Pauline Christians don't have a good answer to this question

Do "Pauline" Christians differ from this than Petrine or Jamesian Christians? Pray tell, I thought they were all in agreement. You must be some superb Biblical scholar and historian to arrive at this astonishing conclusion.

Why are you being so defensive?

Either you can support the Pauline Christian doctrine that it is ok to eat pork or you can't. No need to go troll these forums with your random thoughts.

I can't explain your stupidity but I can tell you the sky is not green despite you wanting me to explain why it is.

A simple, 'no I can't' would have sufficed.

I can't answer something that isn't accurate.

You can't prove this is a "Pauline" doctrine and I can't tell you why the sky is green - it isn't.

But go ahead, consider this a "win". Anyone reading this thread can see you're too stupid to comprehend what I said numerous times in this thread as is.

Such as:

shafique wrote:But given that all your arguments for not following the Jewish law any more (including eating pork) stem from visions Peter allegedly had

I wrote:The vision had nothing to do with following Jewish law; it was an analogy for something else.

One can't have a discussion with someone dumb like you.

Why would I think you capable of understanding something slightly more complex than me explaining the exact opposite of what you imagined I said?

Thanks, I do.
