Kosher / Dietary Laws
Is it at all acceptable to hunt for game, given the Torah’s regulations about animal blood?
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses how today’s kosher-friendly Messianic people need to be realistic about it.
This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.
What does it mean that “Jesus declared all foods clean”? Does this mean that the kosher dietary laws were abolished by the Messiah? I am confused.
The issue of eating the way God has prescribed is one where we need to realize whether or not God has the right to tell His people what they can and cannot ingest into their bodies, and why He specifically issued these commandments. Messianic practice directly challenges much of modern Christian thought as it relates to “food.” Why does one need to follow the dietary commandments the Lord issued? What lessons might we learn from following them, in addition to how the kosher laws may affect our health?
