baarbacoa, unless you are genealogically Jewish, then the majority of the ~613 mitzvot / commandments written in the Torah (aka: the Pentateuch) were never written to, or for you in the first place. Back in the day, the only non-Jews who were required to follow the mitzvot were goyim (aka: gentiles) in the conversion process, or those who wanted to live within the borders of the Kingdom of Israel, but not convert. In the later case, they were given a very limited set of commandments that are known today as the 'Seven Laws of Noah, or, the 7 Noachide Laws).

Is there something wrong with picking and choosing? You can’t be pro-freedom of religion/beliefs in one breath and then in the same breath say people have to interpret their religious beliefs exactly in the way that you interpret it and you don’t even believe any of it is legitimate
@@NickSandt it becomes wrong when the pickers and choosers give god as the reason for imposing their selection of rules on others. Freedom of religion doesn’t mean that the religious are free to impose their manufactured hypocritical “morality” on the whole of society.

It’s just a perfectly legitimate questions about the lack of consistency between the prescribed rules and their behavior.
Im curious about that prohibiton on tonsures since catholic monks were once required to have them. To be fair required might be a stretch but ibhave seen many references to tonsured christian monks/priest in hiatorical depictions
As a protestant, I myself am also frustrated at how the modern western church arbitrarily picks and chooses what laws to ignore or enforce.. the church should observe all of the laws, in every era, because each law has moral and ethical weight to it.
Dan briefly mentions Acts 15...This is an *enormously* important chapter everyone should read, as it gives us a rare look behind the curtain to see "how the sausages are made", and honestly, I'm amazed it made it into the book! Basically, the elders of what we call the early Church have a debate to settle a doctrinal issue; they talk about it, vote on it, and agree to a consensus, then send out a mass letter to all the churches to update them on the new status quo, the text of which Acts claims to preserve. Interestingly, the letter claims that their new position was given to them/approved by, The Holy Spirit! Now, you can reread the chapter all you want, and THS is nowhere to be found (esp funny considering this is a book where supernatural events DO occur), so this is essentially illustrating the truth of religious history in a nutshell: Men mundanely deciding what they will tell others what to do, then sealing it with the authority of "GOD told me so!"
You might look into what many Christians understand as the force/inspiration of the Holy Spirit. You might be surprised. Or maybe you would be disappointed.
@Dan I think you should consider inviting Christine Hayes on your talk show and discuss this topic. The choices made of ceremonial and moral were not entirely "arbitrary", they are directly linked to the temple worship and thus become apparently "arbitrary" since Jews no longer have a central temple and Christians no longer distinguish in the Jewish way. (also Christine is an amazing academic IMHO)
There's T Shirt makers on eBay. You type in almost anything there and there's shirts for it. I just bought a Megaman shirt not long ago from there from a shirt maker. It's good professional quality. Thick t shirts. Not the thin ones. Not cheap though
My grandfather joined the Navy and tattooed his forearm in WWI. He became a pastor 5 years later and wore long-sleeved shirts for the next 60 years to hide his shame.
In fact James the Just considered the Law of Moses atomic or indivisible. While I do something similar, my justifications and methods are completely different and rely on the Epistle to the Galatians (I instead refer to stuff stated _only_ in the Torah, vs. stuff restated in the New Testament, and use that as the dividing line).
This reminds me of a young (Mormon) intern we had once, she asked my thoughts once about her boyfriend getting a tattoo of praying hands - she was quite upset because of this prohibition. "What would Jesus think?" I pointed out that Jesus would probably think about the same of the tattoo as He would about having bacon with breakfast. This confused her, and I pointed out that Jesus was Jewish and would follow the dietary restrictions. I cannot recall the rest of our conversation, but she didn't break up with him, so I am sure she managed to negotiate her understanding of the bible...
My non scholarly rebuttal to discarding old laws is that Jesus said not a letter of the law would be changed until heaven and earth were destroyed. We still have an earth. It's also fun to ask for the criteria that separates ceremonial law from moral law
My non-scholarly impression is that all of this would have been a non-issue if Jesus himself had not apparently been discarding old laws in the Gospels. A believer needs to find some explanation that allows these words and these actions to coexist. It isn't easy.
Basically it meant that you can't eat obvious blood products, like blood pudding, and that any meat had to be processed or cooked in a way that was believed to remove blood, like salting the meat. You also had to check your eggs to make sure they didn't have blood spots. These are still things that kosher-observant Jews do today.
All depends on how you choose to interpret the text. I’m with the outspokenhumanist in the ‘Who gives a damn what the silly superstitious old book says’ camp.
@@boboak9168 Thank you. I would also question the idea of interpeting the text. You are right to say this is done but I have always wondered why people feel the need and presume the right to interpret what they consider to be the word of their god.
Well in the text it only says "for the dead" or "for the souls" so anything else would be permitted. (Then you have to interpret what that includes ofc)
If you’re a practicing Jew or Christian, the tattoo itself isn’t as much of an issue as the motivation for said tattoo (there are other issues involving community, but I’m on my lunch break and don’t have time lay that out).
For what I've gathered the Bible forbids the tearing of the flesh. Which by extension forbids tattoos because it's impossible to get a tattoo without tearing the skin.
The Jerusalem Council’s opinion isn’t from Leviticus, it’s from an oral tradition about the 7 Noahide laws that bind Gentiles. The restriction on eating blood is related in Genesis 9 and both it and the prohibition on strangling are part of the animal cruelty law.
The interpretation is one that I don't understand in detail, but there are procedures for draining the blood. Certainly there is some blood left in the tissue but that does not seem to be the issue for the Jews who insist of Kosher. Islam has dietary/sanitary standards, too.
Yes, you can drain most of the blood out. There will be traces left. Also, the reddish watery fluid that comes out of cooking beef isn't blood, it's hemoglobin. Not sure if that's a kosher distinction or not, but it's delicious 😊
Boomers and maybe even older Gen Xers can remember a time when good Christians thought that only disreputable sinners like sailors got tattoos. There was plenty of condemnation by Good People when tattoos started to become fashionable. Now it seems that young televangelists need tattoos in order to appear cool.
People seek power. Ancient texts are a substrate upon which power can be negotiated, especially when the charms of youth fade. Speech, sex, and money are uniquely tied to power. Christ offers eternal life in the kingdom of God for the total surrender of earthly power. Or at least, Greco-Roman Christianity is making this offer. But why? Why would Jesus command the faithful to love their enemy? For what reason should the Israelites love the Amalakites? Why prohibit divorce? Why predict the destruction of the Temple?
