Beloved,It depends on whether or not you are a member of the 12 Tribes of Israel who refers to themselves as such.  I read the dietary laws as they are written in Leviticus 11 and they are addressed to the descendants of Israel.  I saw nowhere where the Gentiles are commanded to keep these laws.  I believe they are on of those Jewish customs es…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 03 2009,13:56)Hi KW, Thanks. My point is that the ones to whom the words were written knew Jesus as their Lord.Jesus is the Lord over everything in heaven and on earth but God is his Lord as well as ours.   I believe the Spirit is God's Spirit that we receive through obey all the teachings of Jesus the Anointed One.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 03 2009,12:25)Hi KW, There is no such thing as a GENERAL SPIRIT of man in scripture is there?I am not sure that you are correct in that as this passage surely seems to be speaking of mankind in general instead of specifically.Ecclesiastes 7:29(KJV) reads:Quote Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright;…[Read more]
