They don't.Then why did the Jews eat pork after all?
E.g. bad parasites, pig would eat another pig danger of mad cow disease, Domoic acid - WikipediaThe reasons are not stated except vaguely. Besides, eating pork and shell fish are not going to kill anyone especially in that culture where meat is harder to come by. None of the Jewish restrictions add health benefits. For example meat with milk is not unhealthy. Wearing one kind of fiber isn't particularly comfortable.
Its more likely that pigs are forbidden for other reasons:
- too similar to human meat
- pigs eat things from the soil, noses down in the dirt
- pigs eat food that could go to the poor, cleaning up all the leavings
- the fat can't be separated from the meat, breaking the symbolism of sacrifices
Do they really? I think you are making this all up. Most Jews I know keep it kashrutThen why did the Jews eat pork after all?
Which gospel? There is more than one.No, I believe in the gospel.
Oh, I see, I guess I misunderstood what you meant. We're on the same page on that then.What part of Abraham instituted it but Moses regulated it don't you understand?
It doesn't refer to the four books at all but to the revelation received by Jesus.Which gospel? There is more than one.
Ok, now what do you mean Christians are confused about meat?Oh, I see, I guess I misunderstood what you meant. We're on the same page on that then.
That he was the Son of GodIt doesn't refer to the four books at all but to the revelation received by Jesus.
I am not concerned whether they are concerned or unconcerned by what He has commandedWhy are they concerned by what God has not commanded and unconcerned by what He has commanded?
Isaiah 65:4Do they really? I think you are making this all up. Most Jews I know keep it kashrut
He never received such a revelation.That he was the Son of God
Probably so, but you may find the symbolism interesting as I do. John 3 provides a hint to me about this whole kosher/unkosher thing, and I take my opinion very seriously. John 3 talks about the division of light from dark and those who come into the light are good while those who stay in the dark won't. He's borrowing from Genesis and the (I think obvious) division of the kosher animals from the unkosher ones. There is a light/dark division if you go through the list of what's kosher/unkosher.I think it was because the Canaanite ate pork and shellfish since they lived closer to the coast and the Israelites wanted to separate themselves from the Canaanite culture.
Yeah believe it or not the whole point of prophets was to call people back to following the Torah. The Israelites did all sorts of things they shouldn't; one need only read the Books of the Kings to see it all.Isaiah 65:4
They shouldn't.
Of course it wasn't. The Torah was never perfect to begin with, but it would have helped to follow it and to preserve it. As it would have been with the gospel.Yeah believe it or not the whole point of prophets was to call people back to following the Torah.
We disagree again. G-d gave the Israelites the Torah so they may follow it and be a holy nation. In my view they have preserved it. You are forced to believe they did not as it contradicts your scripture, as do the Christian Scriptures. Prophets were sent to call the sinful Israelites back to HaShem, away from the ways of the nations. However, having this argument with you is pointless because we have an impasse, so I respectfully leave you to your beliefs.Of course it wasn't. The Torah was never perfect to begin with, but it would have helped to follow it and to preserve it. As it would have been with the gospel.
I'm pretty sure if it has health benefits that its the only Jewish restriction that does. They wear one kind of fiber. They have to wear hats all the time. They have to separate their dairy and meat. They mayn't walk around on the sabbath. They must not trim the corners of their beards. They have to be careful not to touch dead bugs or to have creeping bugs touch them. For example if a daddy longlegs spider touches you its no big deal, but if it touches a Jewish man it can cause him a lot of inconvenience. That is not a health benefit.E.g. bad parasites, pig would eat another pig danger of mad cow disease, Domoic acid - Wikipedia
(5/27/97) "Mad Cow Disease" From Pork May Cause Some Alzheimer's
Yes he did, when he was baptized by John.He never received such a revelation.
Majority of Christians eat pork, though it's prohibited by the bible, yet there's a pro-vegetarian trend going on, even one called Christian vegetarianism. But eating meat is not prohibited in the bible.
Why are they concerned by what God has not commanded and unconcerned by what He has commanded?
Of course most Christians would say the old testament is not binding on them, but that doesn't have anything to back it up.
Only the Israelites are forbidden pork. Pork was never and still is not forbidden for non-Jews.
