1 | Did Christ make pork acceptable? | Mark 7:19 | Gentlebd | 172374 | ||
I keep being told that Christ abolished certain rules regarding the foods that are acceptable, mainly pork. If this is true I would just like to know the book and chapter that states it cause I can't find it and no one around here can tell me where to look. | ||||||
2 | Did Christ make pork acceptable? | Mark 7:19 | kalos | 172379 | ||
"Thus He declared all foods clean", 'even if the participants at the meal have not washed their hands. But Yeshua (Jesus) did NOT, as many suppose, abrogate the laws of kashrut (the Jewish system of dietary laws) and thus declare ham kosher! Since the beginning of the chapter the subject has been ritual purity as taught by the Oral Torah in relation to n'tilat-yadayim (vv. 2-4 and note) and not kashrut at all! There is not the slightest hint anywhere that foods in this verse can be anything other than what the Bible allows Jews to eat, in other words, kosher foods. Neither is kashrut abolished in Ac 10:9-28 or Ga 2:11-16; see notes there. '...The Greek text at this point is a dangling participial clause, literally, "cleansing all the foods." There is no "Thus he declared".' ____________________ Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1992 (Emphasis added.) |
