Why aren't we enforcing God's Law?

Question

Leviticus 11:9-12 says:

9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

Deuteronomy 14:9-10 says:

9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

The bible has a clear injuction against the eating of shrimp! How can we let this ABOMINATION continue?

Answer 1

Unfortunately for the righteous, God's police force is on indefinite suspension following the events of the Crusades.  Who will help us now?

Oh, THANK YOU, Pat Robertson!  Hey, is that an oyster in your hand?

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

To eat those things that God told us not to eat is a sin to our body only. God knows what's best and what things can make us sick, so if we are dumb enough to eat them, then we are going to get sick, then a lot of people will blame God, saying God made them sick, just like they blame God for everything else. What else is new?

Answer 6

Jesus said, if your without sin you get to throw the first stone...

Answer 11

Your right Frank. You have opened my eyes. From now on i will consider myself God's right hand man and i will kill anyone who eats shrimp. I have also started constructing a plot to destroy the world wide shrimping industry. With you and me working together we can put a stop to this ABOMINATION.

SHRIMP EATERS BEWARE, YOUR TIME OF CONSUMING THIS ACT AGAINST GOD IS OVER, LONG LIVE THE SHRIMP FIGHTERS!

Answer 12

because some think its OK because "we aren't under the law anymore but grace" i personally try to avoid food that can be bad for you like shrimp and pork (if you want to know how they are bad for you just look at what they eat)

Answer 13

Because the majority disagrees with God.

Answer 14

Separation of church and state, ever heard about it. We can't enforce such retarded laws as that in modern times. If we didn't eat half the things it says not to eat in every religious book. Everyone would be starving in our overpopulated world. You're an idiot.

Answer 15

Ah, http://www.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/basi...

Just for you to know the truth

There have to be a purpose for life otherwise we will miss the peaceful path of happiness so we want to be just better everyday

So, spiritually, what is God? , What’s makes God as god? , What is God’s Power? , For all sort of these questions, I have very limited understanding so Let me give you the point. Well, just try to know, what’s makes God as god, the Power, isn’t it? So what the power can do? Ah? Well, it can give the ability to organise all things & it can give the ability to separate everything and most importantly, the Ability to control everything, isn’t it? Isn’t it good? Ah? So, what I try to say here is, from my hard study and research effort with the help from god, I realized that the ability to control everything, the Power of God is gradually increased in the full amount to use so; The Power of God is always the omnipotent and existed among everything. & The God now is always the same omnipotent for us, who is organised us and we are growing towards perfection. The perfection is the final stage, not the end. & The Power of God, the Ability is the reward for us to control everything in a proper manner, like the true God of goodness. & Everlasting Happiness is the final stage. & it cannot come alone without the final stage perfection of God. & if god always perfect in perfection then there have to be beginning with God for the organizing progress of all things. So, there is No end and also No beginning for all things, including this on going organizing progress. So we cannot get anything from nothing. & how could that be possible to be perfect in perfection always, ah…? No way has the perfection of god come first or the growth towards perfection. There is No End and there is No beginning and so the Ability is for the Love of Joy & ~ LOVE IS THE ABILITY ~

If you don’t still agree, then note this important point: - you can use any thing for Good or Bad so, whenever possible If you ask the god for the good reason to give you the ability perfection, because of your obedience, then the God will give you, if the god is good and Almighty. Simple logical prove (the evidence) for this concept. So,

If you are humble, please... Pray to know the truth from true God by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with great faith and. Good in Bad & Bad in Good so the values are most important. God gave us the rights to do what is right for you & sometimes, things can be right in your point of view but wrong in Public point of view so Basically, just pray about it for the Good Answer and try to do the God's will first always & If you think, why so much trouble and pain in this world…? Then there is only one reason, without pain, No pleasure and without pleasure, no pain. So without them, we cannot enjoy this life so always we need them in our development towards the perfection of God. So-so you use pain and pleasure instead of pain and pleasure use you. I mean the vision of your future should be clear & it have to pull you rather than you have to push so you must link a lot of pleasure in order to succeed in the Best job. When you feel strong enough links a lot of pleasure in your subconscious mind and your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. & It is wonderful nature for us by the true God. And we all make mistakes so it is hard to look for star in daylight. So just in faith… it is possible. Like that the faith in true God. &  If you think, even expert can be wrong then you have to make the fine research in all most everything so It is hard and some time, it is impossible to achieve so Why we need inappropriate action to find the owner of higher power? So, because of Lack of faith in true God, we do not have the great gift of understanding of things. & All things are spiritually first, to govern by God with glory so closely, Have a look at this world of wonders of yours and then you know the truth, when you listen to your real voice and then Having a strong desire to do the best every day then stick with the best to do your best. And most importantly, try to be grateful for what you have now & try to know where you come from to have the great gift of understanding and then, have the faith to become the best winner in your life. & The Law of mercy cannot rob the Law of justice so Justice demands the punishment of our sin but The Law of mercy requires the forgiveness to give to us and God is perfect in perfection so cannot violate his laws so The God provided the way to our salvation to overcome our sin so Jesus Christ sacrifice is much needed to return to live with God, so Jesus Christ is our savior.

Well, It is the time to make the great decision.

Good luck.

The power is focus with the great mindset

Answer 16

You took those out of context.  God was addressing the people of Israel in the desert.

Answer 17

When the time comes, God will enforce His OWN laws.  It isn't up to us to do it for Him, only to follow His directions, which I try my hardest to do.
