In an attempt to discredit Chick-fil-A, one website writes this post to wit,
This is the problem with every single right-wing Christian in America. You cannot claim that one part of the Bible is absolute and ignore the others you don’t like. If you’re going to use your religion to deny an entire group of people their rights as citizens of the United States, you had better be ready to follow every stricture in the Scripture.
But this is only a piece of the issue. This poster neglects the New Testament passages which, in essence, supercede various Old Testament passages.
Matthew 5:17, Romans 10:4 and Acts 11 speak to this:
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes
Jesus is the one who fulfills the law; meaning, He has fulfilled and completed everything the law requires of us– who believe in Him.
Jesus fulfills the passages like Leviticus 11:8, thereby, Acts 11 is applicable to Christians today.
This is why we can go eat at Chick-fil-A guilt free. And love it.
Wow, I’m hungry for a chicken biscuit now.
