I think you should look it up for yourself from a much better source don't you???
And a really good source would be..
Looking into the Festivals of the Hebrew calendar.
For a more fuller meaning of it if that's what you really really need to have.
As the Messiah's life is also mirrored in a very important way in the seven mo'adim, appointed times, or Festivals of the Hebrew calendar..
There's the Spring Feasts that are referring to events that ocurred during Messiah's earthly ministry and the Fall Feasts,
refer to events that are about to happen when He comes the second time.
The holy days was known as a mikrah, which means rehearsal or recital.
I'm confused. How does knowing the Festivals help determine what foods we should eat?
Paul tells us that all of the special days have been appointed by God to reveal the Messiah to the world as part of God's great plan for His creation:
" Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, A New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
These are the shadow of the things that were to come , the reality, however, is found in Christ.
-----Colossians 2:16-7
This seems to say that we are not judged by the food we eat. So it no matter what you eat it is not a sin?
Now of course if one wants to eat scavengers and other unhealthy foods..
Or be a glutton..
Sin is sin and there usually are consequences for ones behavior.
For doing that.
What you reap you shall sow
....Galatians 6:7
Isn't the mention of eating bad food in this passage actually a metaphor by Paul to show the effect of letting bad things (sin, bad theology...etc) into your life? I don't think this is actually a restriction or admonishment on what we can eat.
And it does say..
My people perish for lack of knowledge
----Hosea 4:6
Hence my asking the question.
But besides the probablity of getting sick from it.
The leading important question of the day is..
Does eating a chocolate chip cookie get one thrown into the lake of fire??
Depends...is there pork lard in it?
Now that is something thats really important to know.
Don't you think.
Your life could depend on it.
I think you should study up on that.
Any ideas on where to start? What restrictions are part of your diet?
Either you already know it & if you don't you should.
This is akin to wearing down the saints.
Theses games are a waste of time for me.
Were not going io play them over here too.
At least not with me.
Not a game. There are many different ideas about what we should avoid eating. The claim of some is that they have Biblical support for their restrictions. Some say ham and shrimp are ok, according to the Bible. Others say ham and shrimp are to be avoided, according to the Bible.
This is the Bible forum so I thought it was a good place to bring it up.
Hope you find what your looking for in your search.
Interesting tag..
For a so- called Christian.
Lots of people just don't buy it here.
This says it all to me.
A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets. -- Arthur C. Clarke
Why don't you think this is a good tag? Should I not believe my faith can survive a collision with the truth? Don't you think your faith can survive that same collision?
I am sure that you do.
