The dietary laws were overturned in Acts. Jesus broke the Sabbath Laws by healing on the Sabbath and allowing his followers to pick grain on the Sabbath.

A common, and quite fallacious opinion. What did PETER think the vision was about?

Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But G0d has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Acts 10:28

What is not generally known is that the traditions regarding interacting with Gentiles were very strict, but NOT in the Bible. Peter needed some convincing that it is the Almighty, and NOT man that decides what is unclean or common. The Almighty spoke in Leviticus 11, and only a fool would say that it does not apply to him.

As for "Jesus breaking the Sabbath" - again, you are quite confused. No where did He break the Sabbath laws of Scripture. Jesus did not keep some of the Sabbath TRADITIONS of the First Century - but those were TRADITIONS of men - not the words of the Almighty.

BTW, if Jesus broke the Sabbath, we all would be without hope... that would make Him a sinner - and only a perfect lamb is permitted.

Since February, you have posted on exactly two threads that were not religion oriented, one on Ron Silver and one on Bibi’s election in Israel. Your posts are a study in contradicting yourself and agitprop efforts to incite an argument for you to enjoy. Are you related to freeper Non Sequitur?
