You know Mila, some years ago, God brought Muslim friends into my life. Mostly from Iran. I spent a lot of time with one guy in particular and he invited me to meet the community on a number of occasions. This Iranian friend of mine told me straight. When he came to NZ, he could see immediately that God had blessed New Zealand more than…

T8, you don’t live in Nigeria you live in New Zealand.

Thanks Gene.

Plus, He answered “I am”, and proceeded to say he was the son of MAN, etc. So Ed J would say (if it was HERE) that was NOT a simple yes no answer, and then he would DEMAND an answer saying it was not answered!! Ed J would then say “If you don’t know the answer, simply say you don’t know!

Be like Jesus
So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

But Jesus remained silent and made no reply.

Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting a…

Halal

Islam is of the devil, nothing clean in it

Tell me the difference in Halal and Kosher.

Did you forget to mention that you misunderstood that verse as a vision meaning something else? Because your earlier post claimed Peter’s vision was God giving him permission to eat any kind of meat he wanted. Then you tried to avoid that mistake by asking questions, it seems.

I was just saying 😀

Ed J said:

“I” follow the Jewish Kosher laws as well.

Look up on YouTube: “There is no such thing as happy, humane organic meat – Kosher /Halal slaughter myth”

It’s disgusting.

Ed J asked:

 

The vision was to inform Peter that the gentiles are not unclean.
My question: why did God use eating meat *if* he doesn’t want us to?

To all……could it be because no one has “all” the truth, as Paul said we look through an obscured glass, and we see in part,  and are we not to grow in grace and “knowledge” of the truth?  I KNOW I DON’T SEE “EVERY” THING EXACTLY RIGHT,  yet, but a time will come when we all will see things that we descuss here in exactly the right wa…

Hi Ed J,

You have a couple of major issues,

# 1 You are using the passage out of context, “36 nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black; 37 but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil.”

You do NOT comprehend what Jesus’s was saying. …

So Jesus openly declares He is going to eat the Passover meal,
but secretly we find out from Miia there was no Lamb there.

I never said that. I said that is DOESN’T SAY if there was meat there or not, and that you are just assuming there was. I also pointed out there were vegetarian alternatives in Jesus’ day.

“Some vegetarian families s…

Was it Ed J or T8 who started the whole ‘Yes’, ‘No’, ‘I don’t know’ thing?

t8, you said

Jesus spoke in parables to the people, but he spoke plainly to his disciples.

The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

If Jesus speaks plainly to us, then who are we to assum…

I’m surprised you believed the vision Peter had meant Peter could eat anything he wanted.

Peter’s Vision
9The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hourb to pray. 10And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance 11and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by i…[Read more]
