re: #71 Sol Berdinowitz

I believe argument is that the ban on pork (and the wearing of garments made of two kinds of cloths and eating shellfish, etc) were suspended by Jesus in the NT

hypothetically perhaps in declaring a “new convenant”, and despite saying that “not one iota of the law shall be changed until all is fulfilled”. jesus certainly never mentioned any specific doctrine in the OT that was superseded, except that he was dead set against divorce

in practice this should mean that nothing in the OT has any longer any force of doctrine, and some christians, very few, will hew to this line. for the others, somebody has had the authority to pick and choose which things in the OT are still in force, but who this is and why they had the authority to do this, no one can answer
