With at least one billion Christians in world, there must be at least one militant vegan in group.
As far as I'm concerned keep eating articificial eat and taking vitamin B pills. I will keep eating chicken and beef. Offended brother can get lost.
If Paul's advice is stupid, I don't have to follow it.
Did you work 7 years for your father-in-law to buy your wife?
Provided zero proof. Claims to be my teacher.
In case I need to spell it to you: Paul's actions aren't Lord's commands.
And how to do practice that? As self-proclaimed teacher, how are you example?
Ooohhhh, so thinking so myself is forbidden. I must ask others for approved teachings. Sorry, I didn't know that.
For all your talk about Levirate marriage, it isn’t happening on BibFam. My point stands. In no particular order, replying to some other things you’ve written here:
1. Nothing commended to us in God’s Word may be called stupid.
2. The Lord decided who He would speak through and what He would preserve. You have no right to pick and choose.
3. You seem to be wholly incapable of being a Berean. Thinking for ourselves and being unwilling to hear reproof or allow His Word to critique our thinking by His Spirit is what’s forbidden.
4. Our Lord displayed great humility, love and self-denial. Start digging through that post history and your own heart. Be about cultivating the fruits of the spirit. If you are really following Christ, people should be able to see it.
5. Please for the sake of your own soul get some sound, biblical hermeneutics that account for the providential preservation of Holy Scripture, and the perspecuity of God’s Word. God has spoken in these last days through the person and work of His Son Jesus Christ, who had much to say to His disciples, though they could not bear it then. The Holy Spirit moved upon men like Paul to hand us down something far more than a book of uninspired suggestions.
Regarding your reckless disregard for other weaker brethren, it's anti-Christian, anti-Biblical and demonic. 1 Corinthians 8:9 says "But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak." When you write something contrary to this guidance, it's contrary to the Holy Spirit which revealed it to the Apostle and preserved it for us today.
Everything about your responses just reeks of “Get Off My Lawn” with extra steps and it’s disgusting. It’s worldly, it’s unloving, it’s unscriptural, it’s thoroughly American (so much as we have rebels for forefathers).
There’s no question that you love yourself and no one’s going to tell you what to do. But what about loving your neighbor? What about loving God to the detriment of pursuing your own selfish desires? What about living a life of consecration and self-denial?
As someone who seems to esteem the Torah, you ought to highly esteem the Books of the New Testament written to those who esteemed it also, such as the Book of Hebrews and Book of James.
I’ve tried to warn you many times about using your own worldly wisdom to instruct others.
My hands are free from your blood on the Last Day.
But I promise you that you’re going to go from being a mighty keyboard warrior to a tiny little mouse when that day comes and the Holy One whose eyes are like a flame of fire become fixed upon you.
I will testify on that day that what I wrote here, especially to you, was done in love, with the desire to build others up in the one, true and most holy faith. Without love we are nothing. Without holiness no one shall see the Lord.
By all means, mock and scoff. I'm in good company (Luke 6:26; Galatians 1:10) and serve a God whose reward is with Him (Mark 10:30). But don’t be surprised if you’re having the offals of your sacrifices rubbed in your faces.
When you make your god your belly, you reap what you sow.
Yeshua in His great mercy sent someone to this echo chamber to warn you.
Ignore it at your own peril.
