Biblically speaking, a Jew can eat beef, say the after-meal blessing, brush his teeth and eat cheese without waiting.
It is NOT a health issue.
It is a matter of admitting through one's behavior that God is the Boss.
What if when Jesus said to Peter, 'feed my sheep' , Peter went out immediately and gathered up all the fodder he could carry and went around to farms all over the world and fed sheep until the day he died. If Jesus asked him why he did what he did and Peter said, "Because your the boss", would that in any way absolve him from any possible consequences for failure to obey the command because feeding sheep literally had nothing to do with the boss's command?
Shouldn't anyone who hears instruction from a God who always spoke in metaphors and allegory take a few minutes to discern the deeper implications of the words used before they go running off and doing something that is literally not commanded?
Especially when it is a matter of life and death?
Seriously...
Apparently you haven't been learning your Torah.
God did not talk to Moses in metaphors and allegory.
Exodus 33 / Hebrew Bible in English / Mechon-Mamre see 33:11
Numbers 12 / Hebrew Bible in English / Mechon-Mamre
Yes, God spoke with Moses face to face. Moses understood the meaning and purpose of God in giving the law.
Obviously many have failed to do the same.
To follow the literal meaning of the law which prohibits eating the flesh of swine is a violation of the deeper implications of the very same law.
