  1. Since it's been awhile, someone new visiting this topic may know of examples.
  2. Joe Chandler, re: "I already did. 1Tim 4:4 For every creature of God is good etc." And again, verse 3 qualifies that - i.e., every creature that was created to be received. Unclean animals never were. re: "Are you saying that Christians need to conform to a certain diet?" I think that as far as scripture is concerned that the Levitical dietary rules are still in effect. Some 10 years after the crucifixion, Peter in his vision, was agast when told to eat what was in the sheet. He, who had been 3 years with the Messiah, certainly was never told that unclean animals were now ok to eat. And later he realized what the vision was about, and it wasn't about diet. re: "You added the 'That was created to be received' part. The bible says, 'and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:'" See above.
  3. Where does scripture ever say that those animals which were classified as unclean were ever created to be received with thanksgiving or for that matter with anything else? Paul must be referring to those who will be commanding abstaining from consuming any type of animal flesh in favor of vegetarianism. re: "4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:" Correct, every creature that was created to be received.
  4. That may very well have been the reason. I was hoping that someone might have some authoritative documentation with regard to that being the Jewish thinking of the period. BTW, if so, that would also make a Friday afternoon burial/Sunday morning resurrection position invalid.
  5. When the Messiah was asked for a sign (I assume to prove His authority) He told the scribes and Pharisees that He would be in the heart of the earth for 3 daytimes and 3 night times. So I assume He meant in the tomb, or at the earliest to the moment when His spirit left His body. The question of this topic is why specifically 3 days and 3 nights? Was there something significant about that period of time?
  6. I'm simply curious as to what folks' "impression" with regard to the reason for selecting 3 days and 3 nights as opposed to some different time frame might be.
  7. I think it's kind of interesting that other than Galations 4:4 saying that the Messiah was born of a woman (which I assume was a pretty normal way that people came into the world) that Mary is not mentioned by any of the writers of the New Testament Epistles.
  8. If by "it" you're referring to the heart of the earth, I'd say that the first time I heard the phrase I probably thought of the tomb. Any particular reason for asking?
  9. When responding to the Pharisees' request for a sign, why do you suppose the Messiah made the specific point that He would be in the "heart of the earth" for 3 days and 3 nights?
  10. They were also restricted from fornication. Does that leave the rest of the 10 commandments open to the Gentiles?
  11. And remember, the someone new needs to be someone who thinks the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb and who tries to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language.
  12. But Joe C. wrote that the council in Jerusalem said that the Gentile believers were exempt from the dietary law. I assumed he was referring to the Acts 15 account. I don't see where the account says anything about not observing the Levitical dietary laws. That's all I was questioning.
  13. But I don't see where they said anything about the Levitical dietary laws.
  14. I'm not aware that the council said that. What do you have in mind?
