Which is evidence. Jesus also took part in it and we’re to follow his footsteps.
Jesus literally broke several laws for the sake of illustrating that the laws were done with. That's not evidence of the law's necessity.
I never suggested they were excluded from salvation.
You said verbatim "the new covenant is only to mean that gentiles aren’t excluded from salvation". They were never excluded from salvation.
But before the new covenant people were saved by national bases and by their obedience to the law.
Everyone died and went to the same place before the New Covenant. There was no salvation.
Now people are saved individually by grace. That’s the point of the new covenant.
That's not what you said before.
Disobedience of the law is still a sin, but we aren’t saved by it at the same time.
If disobedience of the law was a sin, then Jesus sinned numerous times. That's false.
I wasn’t making any conclusions. I’m just stating what the verse said.
You said "weak in faith" verbatim and you also said they'll be "held accountable for their own actions" as if to suggest non-observance of the Sabbath is an offensive action. Even Jesus worked on the Sabbath.
It’s talking about man made traditions with no biblical support. Washing hands has no biblical support, but the food laws in fact do.
Jesus is talking about more than just hand washing. Jesus is talking about ritual purity.
I never said it was in the 10 commandments.
You said "It’s more than the culture, it’s in the 10 commandments" in response to me saying Paul and Peter followed the traditions in their culture. Nothing about Peter's story that you mentioned has to do with the 10 commandments.
Is the fact that peter kept the food laws not sufficient enough for you?
The fact that Peter kept the food laws means nothing. That same passage literally states God cleansed those foods. Go and reread the entire story. Or even just Acts 10:28. Nothing and no one is unclean now, something the Mosaic Law suggests is the case.
He came to fulfill the law but not change it.
It isn't changed. It's old, destroyed, and replaced.
As in we don’t follow the law to be saved, we follow the law because we love him enough to not sin.
The law is followed through the two commandments of Jesus, not the separation of Jews from Gentiles.
If Jesus is the same forever and if he’s God, why does he change his laws? There’s an inconsistency there.
It literally says in the Old Testament that the laws were replaced for our sake because we are trapped in perpetual sinfulness. God changing the covenant for humanity doesn't mean a change in God. It means accommodating us for our fallibility.
It makes more sense that these laws are still in place and God remains unchanging as he is unchanging.
No, that doesn't make more sense given the Bible itself literally states otherwise.
