Christians aren't Jews so why would they follow the laws that were specific to the Jews?

Some would if they take living a religious life very seriously.

Christians don't live a "religious" life. They live according to God's Word. God commanded the Jews to follow the fiber laws. Gentiles, unless they were living with the Jewish tribes, weren't under those laws.
 
^ how utterly arbitrary. And weird. Why would matter what fibre one wears?

According to whom? Doesn't God's law carry over from the Old to the New Testament? I mean, I don't see any retractions in the New Testament.

"Oh, wait....I just meant that for the Jews. You, Gentiles...ignore what I have declared an abomination."

I'm wondering if anyone even knows what the word "abomination" referred to historically and culturally at that time.

My guess is that it's a lot like a taboo and considered a great and grievous offense to God or the local deity. It's like a blasphemy in God's eyes.

Actually, all it meant was that it was contrary to the social norms of the day.
 
Blasphemy of the holy spirit is the only unforgivable sin. Whatever that is? Theology is not my thing.

Reba, I don't know all of the "proper" terms for the religous context. It seems highly specialized, like the military. I've not been to a house of worship yet that doesn't want new members and their money. Dang, my own denomination was offering free facials to deaf women to get them to come to church. Weird!

But, you just said it was used to quality God's commandments in the Old Testament.

I don't understand what you're saying. I didn't say anything about "quality God's commandments." Are you asking a question?

Did a Christian tell you they were specific to the Jews?:cool2:

I've read it in the Bible, and I've heard it from several sources, including other Christians.

The introduction to Leviticus 19:

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.

Oh, yeah. Leave it to other Christians to decide that the commandments were just for the Jews because they don't want to have to follow everything God calls an "abomination".:laugh2:

So, God didn't intend to be holy for Christians?

Jesus said, " 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Matthew 5)



Jesus didn't retract God's Law. He fulfilled it.
 
Kind of amusing sort of way. One has knowledge of the Book while the other pretends. I'm still learning.

Did you overlook this?

"...the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel..."


God gave those commandments to His chosen people, the Jews, to keep them separate from and protected from the heathen people of their world. There were no Christians then, and they were not included in God's chosen tribes.

God has been, is, and will be holy. God's holiness isn't dependent on any people.
