and yet, long after the above mentioned Prophet departed, can we find any evidence in the Christian bible regarding this???
oh look, see what it says here:
Acts 10 9-18
Peter's Vision
9About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. 13Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."
14"Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "
I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."
15The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
16This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
17While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon's house was and stopped at the gate. 18They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.
so 3 times Peter said "
I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."
and then
17While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, i wondering why Peter was wondering? PERHAPS the vision was relating to accepting Gentiles into the Jesus movement! :giggling:
so your saying that the vision was for Peter to go have a ham sandwhich????:heated:
or maybe, according to Eesa, Peter never read the Gospel. hmmph, how strange!
now what was Mark 7 about...
Mark 7
1The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and 2saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were "unclean," that is, unwashed. 3(The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.[a])
5So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with 'unclean' hands?"
6He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
" 'These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7They worship me in vain;
their teachings are but rules taught by men.'
8You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."
9And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[c] your own traditions! 10For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,'[d] and, 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'[e] 11But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban' (that is, a gift devoted to God), 12then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother. 13Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like
that."
was it a comment about clean/unclean food? nope, it was a bout dirty hands!
one has to remember when reading the words of Jesus, ESPECIALLY when he was dealing with the Pharisees, particularly, unlike Nicodemus, those of the Shimei school. Jesus's answers were usually ridiculing the way that the held to "ceremony" over paracting love for fellow man.
but Christians usually get this stuff wrong anyway...
for any Muslims interested, the quote from Mark is while Jesus was alive, which according to Eesa as well as MANY confused churches, abbrogated the all food laws.
YET the book of Acts from which the other quote is taken is dated AFTER the gospels. according to tradition, Peter is the LEADER of Jesus' Apostles. There you have him responding to the "voice in the sky" saying THREE TIMES, well what is he saying? let's read it again, "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean"!
THAT MEANS, according to Eesa, that the VERY HEAD of the new church, Peter, or as some mistakingly call him: "the rock", either doesn't know the gospel, has chosen to ignore the teachings of Jesus!!
how could that be???
think about it!
