"...so ridiculous that it shouldn't exist in the first place..."
"...There are so many stupid laws that is so irrelevant and has nothing to do with God..."
These are strong claims denise, wowsers. But these were Laws OF God.
Leviticus 11:1-2
"And the LORD speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them, 2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying..."
And after some of the laws, it says..."I am the LORD" (Leviticus 19:3-4, 10 etc etc)
Deuteronomy 4:5-6
See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as Jehovah my God hath commanded me... ye have kept and done [them] for it [is] your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Only, a people wise and understanding [is] this great nation.
So God is giving these commands; I know that much. So they're far from stupid - even though they were a "yoke that no one could bear". (Acts 15:10).
But thank you all. I mean I understand the Agreement that Paul and James have regarding - "Faith", "Works of the Law", "Good Works" - I just needed clarification on whether or not we can just throw those laws out.
Acts 15 is the answer. Peter, James, and Paul agree on it. [Interestingly they wrote their own epistles
]. And as said - not to mention, I am surely a GENTILE, HEATHEN
, most likely a descendant of Ham (of Noah). Doesn't matter, I live by the Faith of Christ, and I'm blessed in Him
