Obviously, the bride and the groom (Jews and Gentiles) have to be spotless on their wedding day, so they are kept apart before the wedding. (The kingdom of Heaven is numerous times compared to a wedding banquet in the Holy Gospels). But after the wedding, they are bound to come together in marital union, and produce offspring. That which was deemed healthy before would be unhealthy after. | |
| Aug 1, 2017 at 15:31 | comment | added | user2055 | @Lucian Well, I'm going to chalk this up to a general inability to make sense of the clean/unclean subject all along. I'll be honest, it seems like arbitrary nonsense. | |
| Aug 1, 2017 at 15:28 | comment | added | Lucian | @fredsbend: For instance, earlier in the same Gospel (the same order of events being present in Matthew as well), we have Christ's Holy Apostles eating ears of corn on the Sabbath. Did this go against strict Pharisaic regulations of what was permissible on that day ? Yes. But it did not seem to reasonably infringe upon what was generally perceived at that time by the average pious person as representing the eternal, fixed, and unchangeable Law of God given to Moses upon Mount Sinai. | |
| Aug 1, 2017 at 15:06 | comment | added | Lucian | @fredsbend: There was, at that time, no logical reason to suspect such an interpretation. (Indeed, even the Pharisees didn't, and they were actively looking to find any kind of fault in Him, and in His teachings, but neither Christ Himself, nor His Holy Apostles, have ever consumed unclean products, nor did they start doing so afterwards). | |
| Aug 1, 2017 at 14:47 | comment | added | user2055 | @Lucian It doesn't make sense because it still enters your body unclean. | |
| Aug 1, 2017 at 13:44 | comment | added | Lucian | @fredsbend: Digestion makes perfect sense. Always. (Luther himself saw it the same way, and I doubt that anyone would ever accuse him of legalistic tendencies). | |
| Mar 21, 2016 at 12:46 | comment | added | user2055 | So the alternative to "Jesus declared all meats clean" is "the intestines makes all meats clean"? That makes no sense. | |
