Here is a simple question.....Did Paul keep God's Laws?

We know of at least one he kept;


Rom.7
[7] What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

So when Paul read the law and found that to "covet" was a sin, do you think he continued?

But what of the others laws? Do you think Paul kept only the one law, or were there others that he kept?

What about when Paul read the rest of God's laws? When he read that it is a sin to lie, did he stop liying?

When Paul read it was a sin to steel, murder, worship idols, and the others do you think Paul did his best NOT to do those things?

Two covenants? You think that the Bible only contains two covenants??? There are a number of covenants made within the Bible!!

There are covenants that God made with all Flesh. I am aware of this. There is a rainbow in the sky because of the covenant God made with all flesh. All these covenants hang these 2 covenants of the Law, the Old and the New.
You have a point there........
Just because we do not read anywhere where God told Noah He could not eat a certain animal, God did give us the ability to reason. Now let's do that. Let's read what God did tell Noah to do and let's think about it for a moment;

Gen.7
[1] And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
[2] Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
[3] Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

First of all let's look at what God told Noah to bring into the ark; clean AND unclean animals.

Now did Noah decide himself what was clean and what was unclean? Of course not! Although there is no record of the conversation,at some point God must have told Noah which animals was which.

Now let's look at the numbers.

God said to bring in (2) of every unclean and (7) of every clean animal to, "keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth."

Now what if Noah and his family ate one of the two "unclean" animals? What would have happened to God's plan? But since there were (7) "clean" animals, they could be eaten with no danger of wiping out the species!

Now let's reason here for a moment;

Although there is no record of when God seperated clean and unclean animals, we know for a fact that Noah knew of them. Now God made everything for a purpose, but everything was not meant to be consumed.

So did the pig, mice and all of the other 'unclean animlas' all of a sudden become unclean just before coming in the ark?

If Noah knew about clean and unclean animals is it too unreasonable to think those before him knew the samething?

Did these animals now become normal AFTER the ark landed and then God seperated them for Moses and the nation of Israel?

Let's use common sense and reasoning here!
