KizlarAgha Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 So...yeah. Why don't Catholics keep kosher?
kamiller42 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Is there a reason you would like to know? Becoming Catholic?

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Acts 10:9-15, NAB [quote]The next day, while they were on their way and nearing the city, Peter went up to the roof terrace to pray at about noontime. He was hungry and wished to eat, and while they were making preparations he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered to the ground by its four corners. In it were all the earth's four-legged animals and reptiles and the birds of the sky. A voice said to him, "Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat." But Peter said, "Certainly not, sir. For never have I eaten anything profane and unclean." The voice spoke to him again, a second time, "What God has made clean, you are not to call profane."[/quote]
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 It's what popped into my head - but you could also point to Christ's fulfilling of the Law and his many comments regarding it in the New Testament (he said what goes in does not defile, etc.). Paul talks about the Law a lot. Circumcision was waived for Gentile converts in the NT as well.
journeyman Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 That, and the council in Jerusalem (Acts 15) where most of the Jewish dietary laws (and other customs) were discussed and found to be a barrier to the ministry to the Gentiles. At that council Peter is said to have said: Why, then, are you now putting God to the test by placing on the shoulders of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?
KizlarAgha Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 So all of the laws of the old testament don't apply? Which ones don't and why?
kamiller42 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 [quote name='KizlarAgha' post='1110424' date='Nov 3 2006, 11:22 PM'] Can't I ask a question? [/quote] Can I? The bigger question is "Can you provide an answer?"
Winchester Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I believe its Mosaic law that we don't have to follow. Not all the laws, but particular ones, including circumcision yarmulkes passover yiddish kvetching lighting the minorah sitting shiveh But mainly because "pork chops taste goood."

The bigger question is "Can you provide an answer?" [/quote] Can I provide an answer to my own question? Well, I've been looking through my copy of the CCC but I haven't found any references to kosher yet. I found a section that elucidates the meaning of Jesus' fulfillment of the law, but it's not specific to which laws Catholics still must follow. Edited November 4, 2006 by KizlarAgha
Winchester Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 They're on the deli aisle. I forgot. Gefilte fish, which are obviously some form of Biblical punishment for killing somebody or something. We don't have to eat those, either.
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I always took that view that moral laws are still intact - without the punishments - as a rule of thumb.
123 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) [quote]So all of the laws of the old testament don't apply? Which ones don't and why?[/quote] No certain ones do (Ten Commands). Christ didnt come to diminish the Old Testament. He just came to fulfill prophecies of men who came before him and told others about him. Thats all. Edited November 4, 2006 by GloriaIesusChristi
