As an animal lover I know some of the laws about food regarding animals. A Catholic mystic who claimed to see Jesus at a dinner said they were eating lamb....I know it's wrong because Torah says not to eat any animal who hasn't enjoyed a year of life. I'm Christian but a very choosy one about such visions. I understand more how God thinks from these rules...they make sense. Torah is a mosaic of our Creator.
Naturally I love the command, "You shall not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." and disagree with Paul's remark the God wasn't concerned about the Ox but the command was only a metaphor for preachers to be paid. I never trust "only a metaphor" language because I believe every Scripture has a Spiritual, an Intellectual, and a Material or natural meaning.
Spectacular
What if I believe myself to be some sort of anointed one?
