Did Peter's Vision of the Sheet Mean People & Food?

[Rose of Shushan]

Quote:Jesus utterances in mathew 5 that you mention are even stricter in many ways than what God commanded by Moses, and the passage sheep posted specifically this one,


Mat 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths
Mat 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Mat 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Mat 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

One cannot perform the commandment in the law to swear by His name and also Keep this commandment of Jesus to not swear at all, one themselves has to choose here between the two that I see, Jephthah's daughter also coming to mind.

So you think that since Jesus' command is different to the law of Moses you follow Moses right and not Jesus?
I'll give my take on the above. Jesus is teaching us that to have to swear to show you are telling the truth is not the ideal state of affairs.It may have been acceptable while under the Mosaic law, in the same way as divorce was, although Jesus says that in the beginning it was not so. In the New Covenant we are called to a higher standard, where a man's word can be trusted without him having to resort to swearing. Like he said;

Mat 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these comes from evil.
