Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
Can you explain to me in detail how Kosher rules effect an object in a way that sympathetically influences another object the same way? Try using the formula A (kosher diet) affects B the way that C affects D, thus there is a sympathetic relationship.Actually, in chapter three of the golden bough it turns out that one's body and behavior often turns out to be the 'object,' and this is quite common. It could be a wife's connection to a husband just as well as a table leg to a horse's leg. So all of this isn't limited to what's done with inanimate objects, if that's unclear. Taking a moment to consider this, it seems that the definition of sympathetic magic becomes quite wide. According to the book, it often takes the form of how different people in a tribe or family carefully act, in order to deflect a bad outcome for other people trying to do things (as in the people hunting, or at war). Kosher rules for example, basically become sympathetic magic, as everyone in a community is communally trying to deflect a bad outcome with the rules they follow, using their behavior as the medium
So with that in mind, it's an easy jump to Jesus. His body was the object, and so he would magically have it maimed for the sake of his body of followers.
In the same manner, please show me how Jesus'd body being maimed and killed was similar to something else (something else being maimed and killed or similar) to the extent that this something else actually occurred.
