											Should Christinas keep God's laws concerning food? Many point to Mark 7, Romans 14, and Acts 10 to say that God's laws about food are no longer relevant. But a closer look at these passages might tell a different story.
											
											
														Believers are great at preaching to each other, but we need to work on our fellowship with each other.  That means that each of us will have to have this mindset:  
 
“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” 
Philippians 2:3 NKJV
		
											
											
														And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.  
Matthew 18:34 KJV 
 
"Tormentor" in this verse is an officer of the court. Being "delivered to the tormentor" means being put into the custody of that officer. Other translations render it as "jailor". 
 
This is essentially the same meaning as being placed "under the law". When you read that phrase in Paul's letters, he is talking about this concept: being placed under the authority of the law to punish, not being obligated to obey the law.

														"Seventy times seven" in Matthew 18:22 isn't a literal limit to forgiveness. The specific numbers are irrelevant. The point is that we shouldn't keep track of offenses. 10,000 talents in v24 was meant to convey the sense of an unpayable debt, a debtor without hope. 
 
The debt we owe God is unpayable, beyond human comprehension, yet He forgives those who plead His mercy. There is nothing anyone can owe you that remotely compares to what God has forgiven you. If we're unwilling to forgive our brother a pittance, why should God forgive us a fortune? 
See Matthew 18:22-35.
