1 | Why did the Jews raise/tend pigs? | Luke 8:32 | buscador | 202027 | ||

Hi, buscador... Welcome to the forum! Quick note: As descendant of Jacob myself, I can assure you that the Law was well regarded until it interfered with one's pocketbook. There have always been a lot of Gentiles around willing to buy what was not otherwise permitted to the Jew.

3 | Why did the Jews raise/tend pigs? | Luke 8:32 | buscador | 202030 | ||
So they were raising pigs to sell to the gentiles as a matter of economics. Makes sense. Although doing so probably "stretched" the Law a bit, and perhaps explains why Jesus allowed the demons to enter the pigs, versus sending them someplace else, i.e. in terms of making a statement to owner of the pigs. Thanks for the insight Doc. | ||||||
