| Aug 5, 2018 at 13:22 | comment | added | Ruminator | @P.TJ I upvoted this answer because it brought so much good info but in reality I don't think it actually answers the question. I think your comment also is excellent and may or may not be the answer. I think you should flesh out that argument as an answer. | |
| Feb 8, 2017 at 17:25 | comment | added | P. TJ | I'm not sure it's accurate to assume that the eating of strangled animals was necessarily seen as a violation of Lev 17. The prohibition was intended to allow Jewish and Gentile Christians to fellowship together by the Gentiles avoiding something that would be offensive to Jews. But we know that, by this point, Jewish tradition had expanded far beyond the law itself. So it may be that this practice would have simply been an offensive violation of Jewish custom, whether it actually violated the law of God or not. Seems like a topic for Talmud research. | |
