There were 613 rules and regulations in the old covenant. For someone to assert that the old covenant is still in effect and that they abide by it by not eating pork or shrimp or catfish, and that they keep the sabbath…while completely ignoring all of the other 611 rules and regulations in the old covenant…seems more than a bit disingenuous and hypocritical. The New Testament documents made it very clear to the Judaizers that you’re either ‘all in’ regarding the old covenant, or you’re not in it ‘at all’.
No man alive (sans Yeshua) could keep the law .
The whole Old Testament is full of Israelites that failed time and again. Just like everyone of us. When Jesus came , he made it clear, not only could we not keep the law but we never even understood the law...
On the cross Yeshua said “it is finished.”
Post the cross we are under grace .
Blessed be the Lord our GOD.
