The Spirit of the Law - Kosher to God - Pod for Israel

<p>Are you Kosher? Is Kosher what we eat? Should I mix milk and meat? What about bacon!?! We continue our series on the Spirit of the Law with what God is trying to teach us with the Kosher or Clean/Unclean commandments. Every commandment from God has a meaning, a precept to learn from, a parable teaching deeper things, and foreshadowing our Messiah's work. So what did God intend to teach us through the dietary laws, and what have we made of it today?</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Just as a disclaimer!! This podcast is NOT about is it ok to eat Bacon or Shrimp!!!</p> <p>Remember Roman's 14 and Colossians 2:16 as you guys comment! ; )</p> <p>Here are all the references for the podcast:</p> <p>''you shall not cook a goat in it's mother milk'' (Exodus 23:19, 34:26, Deuteronomy 14:21).</p> <p>The rabbis interpreted this to mean you can not eat or cook any meat together with dairy (b. Talmud, Chulin 115b).</p> <p>Abraham gives his guests meat and milk to eat (Genesis 18:8).</p> <p>The Talmud says Abraham kept Kosher and in fact, kept the Oral Law (b. Talmud, Yoma 28b).</p> <p>So the Midrash says Abraham guests did not actually ate, but were pretending to eat (Midrash 'BeReshit Raba').</p> <p><br /></p> <p>The Bible give at least two more examples of Jew eating meat and dairy together (Deuteronomy 32:14 and 2 Sam. 17:29).</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Bible scholars, Prof. Moshe Kasutto and Chaim Ginsberg, explain that in context, the 3 verses from Torah that speak about cooking a calf in his mother's milk, has nothing to do with eating kosher, but speak specifically about pagan ways of sacrifices.
