So yes, you agree that koinos means "dirty" as in literally just dirty, not the Levitical sense, but argue that it's a synonym, and that "or" is inclusive. Yet why would it be "koinos" the one used for "unclean" and not "akatharos"?
>Back to Romans 14:14. Moreover do you remember what cropped up time after time when dealing with uncleanliness? Literal washing. Even the article you've linked doesn't say that koinos is literally dirty and that's all there's to it.
>"In fact, you will notice that the term “common” [koinos] is also used in Mark 7:1, referring to the disciples’ dirty hands, because it was believed that dirt defiled their hands, and that this defilement would transfer to the individual if a person ate or drank with dirty (common) hands. "
Yes, this just proves my point.
>Uh huh what about Noah being able to eat every animal?
Noah was never said to be able to eat any animal. Even if he was, this was before the Levitical Law was even instated.
>What about the whole issue of the 10 Commandments getting shattered and followed by detailed Law added because of transgressions until the seed might come to which the promise hath been made (paraphrasing Gal 3:19)?
What does the implementation of the Ceremonial Law have to do with the commandments being shattered?
>Ezekiel 20:25
In the original Hebrew refers to the decrees the Israelites made by rejecting God.
>Isaiah 1:11-17
This refers to the prideful Israelites that followed the "Law" while still sinning, it doesn't mean the Law is bad. See Proverbs 21:27.
>You are missing the point gravely, you're following the letter and the letter of the Law is death.
<Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
