Where does it say in the Bible that the gentiles, let alone Christians, are under the old covenant?
God allowed man to eat of any animal in Genesis 9:3. The dietary laws were given only to the Jews under the Mosaic covenant. We are not under that covenant.
What you have to understand is that the Bible should be read from Genesis to Revelation, so your understanding comes abroad. I understand what laws are nail to the cross and what laws that are on the table.
Once you understand what’s concrete in the Bible then at that point nothing can overturn it. For example Paul said in
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God. Let continue with Paul. Let go into Galatians 5: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do
such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Now Paul said in Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all
uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger,
nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater,
hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Paul said in
1 Thessalonians 4:7 For God hath not called us unto
uncleanness, but unto holiness.
Now lets understand and reason together, Paul just gave us a run down on condition of sins. People who are behaving in such manner will not
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God, even those who are unclean. Being unclean does not mean a person doesn’t wash up, we are not talking about soap and water. We are talking about defiling the body, with unholiness or Godliness.
Now Paul said in Romans 15:4 For
whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the
scriptures might have hope. Keep in mind there was no New Testament when Paul and the apostles wrote these letters. Now lets go back into the Old testament in Leviticus 11:46
This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
47To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Now pay close attention to what Paul said in Ephesians 2: 19 Now therefore
ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
