Yeah, God is a God of distinction, Babylon is a god of mixture. In the kashrut law, there're clean animals and unclean animals, the key difference is that clean animals have a certain diet, unclean animals eat all kinds of garbage, some like pigs and rabbits even eat their own poop, so it's quite reasonable to consider them unclean. The most puzzling part is the last line - "you shall not cook a kid goat in its mother's milk," which is commonly understood as separation of meat and dairy. There's no scientific evidence or logical reasoning to back this one, the only plausible explanation is the distinction principle - no mixing of life (milk) with death (meat).
Since I am a gentile by birth .
Well sort of!
I was born physically into a gentile Christian family. What does that mean? Ignorant of Jewish law. Now the law of Moses was a transitional (stop Gap) time (till Christ be come.
As I describe the following feel free to make comments.
I should probably be able to write a book. I have not come to shedding as of blood yet ( I am working on that concept.
When I came to the concept of being a sinner (at 12 years old) I began reading the Bible (as I define it [let’s use [KJV]. No commentary or oral traditions written down.
I entered into reading the Old Testament and basically read only in order. Basically No New Testament. That basically makes you a Jew. The ptophets could set up being a messianic Jew, but I may get there later.
Finally I start reading the New Testament. Wow now I am reading this Jesus stuff. I don’t hear as much:
Clean unclean
Sabbath
Holy Days
Ceremony's
Law of Moses
I become convinced Jesus died for the sins I discovered at 12. Now at 24 I am declared forgiven (clean).
But I am still a Jewish diet nut (in a gentile sort of way).
When I really start reading the Bible over and over and skip around. Suddenly reading I start speaking in tongues. To me out of a clear blue sky. I never had a Pentecostal explanation and did not exactly understand Pentecostals.
Then low these many years later I am a Jewish Gentile Christian. Really as one you are an outcast in all organized religion.
Messianic Jews think you are almost there.
Reformed Christian’s think you are almost there. I think we must use the law lawfully. Both groups think (what is that?).
Anyway
Dietary stuff is a way of having hints at how to control our thoughts to clean thought areas(which I sometimes violate). I confess my sins one to another and do not broadcast them.
It is not what goes into a man that condemns man but what comes out.
The in the mother’s milk thing.
The authorities wanted to kill Jesus when he was an infant (in the time of his mother’s milk). Jesus was taken into Egypt to preserve his life for 3 1/2 years.
I can do it through using months. I think Revelstion 22 does a good job, but some do not read it that way.
In health area we may get by talking about the dietary law of the mind.
