Don't waste your time preaching to people who don't want to listen. I believe he also used the term "don't throw pearls to swine". A pearl is something that is very precious to many, but a pig has no appreciation for jewels.\n\nIn a nutshell, use your time and efforts finding people who will listen to you and appreciate the message you are giving (the Bible's, not our own), not tireless arguing with someone who refuses to be open to reasoning.

EX\nWhat's the difference between dog theology and cat theology?\n\nA dog says: "You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me. You must be God." \nA cat says: "You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me. I must be God."\n\nhttp://www.batesline.com/archives/001331.html

And Jesus continued: "God commanded your forefathers: 'Thou shalt not kill.' But their heart was hardened and they killed. Then Moses desired that at least they should not kill men, and he suffered them to kill beasts. And then the heart of your forefathers was hardened yet more, and they killed men and beasts likewise. But I do say to you: Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. \n\nNow for the answer to your question:\n\n"And when you eat, never eat unto fulness. Flee the temptations of Satan, and listen to the voice of God's angels. For Satan and his power tempt you always to eat more and more. But live by the spirit, and resist the desires of the body. And your fasting is always pleasing in the eyes of the angels of God. So give heed to how much you have eaten when your body is sated, and always eat less by a third.\n\n                                       Page 301

GodShew don't mess yourself with the OT and NT, you keep on jumbling things together as is with your 30 plus open questions until today. When Jesus came to this earth, animal sacrifices stopped, because Jesus became the living sacrifice. But it is true that the OT God demands sacrifice in the OT times as long as the one who makes the sacrifices delights in "good" and not partakers of evil. \n\nFor example in Isaiah 1\nIt displeased the OT God, when Soddom and Gomorrah were commiting sexual immorality and a lot of evil and they stil have the *guts* to sacrifice unto the Lord, the Lord is not a respecter of persons but He demands that when we come to His presence we should present Him a clean heart.\n\nThus, the Lord Jesus Christ when He came, removed the animal sacrifices. When the Jews rejected Jesus, salvation came unto the Gentiles and it was preached that by the Blood of Jesus, "grace" became available to all who believe in His Name unto the ends of the earth. Jesus did not do away with the Law, He is the fulfillment of it. Since all testament require a kind of signature in the end, with Jesus' blood He signed it for the propitiation of sins. Because the Law condemns the sinner and makes known his sins while, with Jesus blood grace follows because all who believes in Him will no longer be condemend because Jesus took away all sins at the victory in the cross.\n\nBasically, I noticed all your questions, you seem to make general condictions about the OT and NT, because you're missing the point. Try to understand the New Covenant of the Blood of Jesus Christ better before assuming that God contradicts Himself as is in most of your questions.\n\nIf you reject the New Covenant which was fulfilled by the Blood of Jesus. Then all you will ever come up are contradicting questions about the Bible all your life. The Jews cannot comprehended it, because the Lord has made their ears shut and their eyes blind, that to seeing they cannot see and hearing they cannot hear. I hope you are not one of them.\n\nGRACE wasn't available in abundance not yet before Jesus died for us...is when the Spirit of GRACE followed.\n\nAbout Noah and the clean and unclean animals, please don't mess it up. Clean and unclean animals are for the good of Noah's family. Unclean food is not for good to man. God requires that His children will be clean, even staying away from unclean foods, because the Body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, God required animal sacrifices back then in the days of Noah and Moses and the rest of OT but not anymore until Jesus was sacrificed. There's a distinction.  \n\nMay God show you truth and give you understanding.

Truth that the devil does not want you to know.  \nJoh 12:40  He (the devil) hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I (Jesus)  should heal them.

Don't take no for an answer!  It is your religious duty to take that dog to church.  If your church won't accept you, then you should start a church that worships your dog.

For animals, heaven is right here and now.  they are not human beings and its a little insulting to treat them that way.

Here's a joke......\nA young boy received a newborn puppy. "What are you going to name this puppy" said the father. "I will name him Jehovah's Witness",said the boy. A few weeks later the little boy told his father he wanted to change the name of his puppy to "Christian". "Why?" the father asked. The boy replied: "Because the puppy opened his eyes".

The church has been misrepresented at times there will always be wolves in sheep's clothing as well. The Lord says my sheep will hear my voice and not another will they follow. The Lord has sheep and everyone who says Lord Lord will not enter into the kingdom of God always keep that in mind. But I understand where you are coming from.

Jesus kept Kosher so he wouldn't have a shake with a hamburger.\n\nTorah clearly states no milk and meat together.

Too much! Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, giving them these orders: “Do not go off into the road of the nations, and do not enter into a Sa·mar′i·tan city; 6 but, instead, go continually to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As YOU go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ 8 Cure sick people, raise up dead persons, make lepers clean, expel demons.  > YOU received free, give free. <  9 Do not procure gold or silver or copper for YOUR girdle purses, 10 or a food pouch for the trip, or two undergarments, or sandals or a staff; for the worker deserves his food.

hold up, isnt it the 5th commandment (i can never remember the order) that says "Thou shalt not kill"? so no the bible doesnt teach christians that they should fight holy wars and kill people who attack christianity, hell Jesus himself healed the bloke who had his ear chopped off when he came to arrest jesus (if ur a believer).\nbut im all for good entertainment so tell me what channel itl be on :)

Jesus is refered to as the Good Shepard not as a sheep.As a follower of Jesus I am a sheep,and He is my Shepard.

Umm... I think God has that figured out. Since animals don't have souls ( at least none that humans know of) then no, they won't go to heaven.Because heaven is not a physical place, it is a spirtual place.

To say that God didnt allow people to eat these things anciently because of no refridgeration or anything like that is absurd.  If you believe that then you would have to agree that God is not all knowing.  He must not have realized that one day in the future someone would invent a box to keep ice and meat in because if He did realize it then He surely He would have said "when the ice box in developed you may eat of these unclean animals".  \n\nThe problem here is translation the words "tahor" and "tamei" in hebrew do not translate well in to english so they chose the words "clean" and "unclean".  It is a spiritual teaching using physical things like a pig for instance.  But like any other commandment, if you strip the physical part of actually doing the commandment away, and only focus on the spiritual it will eventually loose its meaning thats why the physical is so important.  This would take me a while to explain but essentially the animals we are not to eat are scavengers, they devour other animals.  The animals that are edible chew cud.  Man was originally made to be vegetarian but when God allowed meat during the time of Noah, He chose animals that chewed cud.  If we were not going to be vegetarians then at least we would only eat animals that chewed cud so we were only one step away in the chain so to speak.  \n\nI dont want to ramble but this is a huge subject that needs to be taught.  There are so many other areas to cover like divided hooves and chewing cud being linked with rightly dividing the word and chewing on it until it becomes milk to feed "baby" believers in Yhwh.  There is really a lot there if you study it out.

Jesus was teaching a sermon about how to receive from God.\n\nLuke 11: 9-10\n9. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. \n\n10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
