There were specific Dietary Laws given in the Old Testament to God's Children to follow.....
No Webbed Feet..
Fish with Scales only...
No Pigs... (Pork, Bacon, or Sausage)
No Lobster, Shrimp, or Crayfish
and so on....
and yet we preach Old Testament Tithing... but not the diet...
Anybody have an answer for this??
Not arguing about Tithe...but discussing the why??
We also ignore the law about stoning to death one's rebellious children - today we send them to some psycho who then labels them as having "oppositional-defiant disorder."
We ignore the law against wearing two (or presumably more) different kinds of cloth.
We ignore the law against marring the corners of our beards.
There are numerous other laws we ignore.
But, yes, why do we choose to obey this particular law?
First Peter deals with the diatary law, even if he went against himself.
second, I dont know if I believe in tithing as a law. I do know it is a Godly principle that God set up. It works very well and in the economy of God, I find blessing. thus tithing becomes for me the God-way of being a support to the body of Christ.

I understand this.. and I don't want make this about Tithing.. I believe in the Principle.. I don't think Peter broke the dietary law did he?? God was just dealing with him concerning the Gentiles...

I think if you read thru both the dream, the part that deals with Cornillius (sp) and then the exchange (near civil war) with Paul, you have to come to the conclusion that Peter did break the diatary law then was pressured into returning to it.

True.. but by Peter breaking it he would have to return to the temple to complete a purity ritual wouldn't he??
Because one man went against the law does that justify we who are the church doing the same??
and I know we're saved by Grace thru Faith.. but it is interesting to think about.. considering what is preached... and eaten..
