sex with animals
One of the 10 reasons God gave Moshe why the inhabitants of the land were to be expelled or exterminated.
This fact saddens many Liberals in NYC.
Given that the creatures identified in Kosher law as either clean or unclean are metaphors for human archetypes, the subject and condemnation of bestiality also has deeper implications about people who display the attributes of lower beasts.
Many people out there know nothing about the figurative meaning of the words or the subjects hidden in the law about which they are so dogmatic.
Many deeply religious people have sex with swine who do not ruminate all the time unaware; many, like
ding, do not even have an inkling that they are one.
The people who rebelled against Moses at least understood that they were condemned by God as animals, lower beasts, because they saw themselves described in great detail on the forbidden menu.
Good post...Jews are required to be kosher in
all aspects of life, even the aspects that
you find pointless.
Pointless ? Yes, and more. I see that many traditional aspects of observance are not fulfilling the laws demands.
For instance tefillin. putting scripture in box on your head and wearing it like a frontlet, and having that scripture bind the hand as a sign are just figurative expressions that have nothing whatever to with literally wearing a box on your head or a strap on your arm.,
It is about meditating on scripture because what is foremost on your mind binds your actions. This is the sign of devotion to God, what you think about, what is foremost on your mind, and how you act, not wearing a box on your head.
Comprehending the deeper implications should render any other literal traditional interpretation null and void, pointless, because it is not following the law.
There is no blessing for not doing what is right by conforming to the wrong way to follow the law, only a curse.
If Christians should ever discover that the ascension of Jesus was not and never was about him floating up into the sky, should they continue to teach their children that Jesus literally floated up into the sky?
Wouldn't perpetuating a lie be worse than just pointless?
