Where does it say that the Old Law should not be practiced >by Christians? Well, I dunno about the rest of the law, but in Acts 10:9-15, there is a passage in which Peter has a vision. In this vision, he sees a blanket lowered from Heaven which contains all of the clean and unclean animals. Then a voice tells him to kill and eat the animals. Peter objects, but a voice tells him "Do not call impure that which the LORD has made clean". This is generally understood to mean the Gentiles, and that Peter should minister to them as well. But I have not seen any reason to not take it literally as well. Does anyone know of any? --Jenni Just my $0.02... not a complete response to the poster's concerns...
