Obeying God's commands does

Yes but Paul specifically was talking about commands of God there

No, he was speaking of blind obedience to the law, that from which the Pharisees derived their tradition

He was speaking of acts dont make you righteous, specifically the circumcision which was a commandment of God.

They had no interest in God, they rejected Him when He was made manifest because of their blind devotion to 'the law' and the idol they'd made of it

Wait wait

I just remembered something

Yes you are correct

He was speaking specifically that circumcision wasnt making you righteous

Not acts

Ok my bad

This is a good illustration of where you've been getting caught up here

Well then the holy spirit enters the body whatever the state of the body is?

If that is God's will

Ok sure then

Ok so back to the purpose of the food regulations

You said that it was for the temple

Back to what you're caught up in

But the common Israelites didn't need to be clean

Where does it say the opposite?

Yes they did

But they weren't in a holy place. They were outside the tabernacle and i believe outside the yard of the tabernacle too

Or the opening could mean the opening of the tent

Not the opening of the yard

Maybe before entering Canaan, but after the establishment of the Temple they had to enter the temple, which was all holy

Yes but we are talking about the covenant and that was with the tabernacle

Now the temple laws are irrelevant

Because many man made things were added there

I'm getting a bit too tired to nitpick this same heresy again but suffice it to say, this whole misunderstanding boils down to you having no concept of the root message of the covenant itself, the laws are irrelevant and the answer doesn't lie within them

Ok

@SUPER MALE VITALITY™ refresh my memory, what denonination are you?

We can take a break i have some work to do

The laws are inside the box, but you have to understand why the box is there to understand the contents

I need to see the connection

If there is no connection then i need to see the purpose

If there is no clear purpose then thats about it

Very drole.

Of the Latter-Day Saints of course

All honesty though Retarded Catholic is what best fits currently

That fits most of us here tbh.
