He is Risen

We eat Chinese food for Christmas is one of my favorite comedy songs.

Another coalary law
It's kosher if it's in Chinese food.

Parallel story told by an acquaintance in my early years of comedy.
His grandmother would sprinkle raisins around the house. They were "Left" by the Easter Bunny.
Later that morning Granny served the kids .... Don't get ahead of me
....
...
RAISIN BRAN.

"If we can't laugh at ourselves, others will beat us to it."

LOLOL!! !!
sounds like fun!

Ha!

Every year an office I worked in would put out those reindeer made of bent willow twigs in the lobby for Xmas. And every year I'd put a small pile of chocolate covered raisins behind/below where each one was standing...

Odd - that's something I never researched or came across in my lessons. When *did* the Jewish prohibition on ham - which Jesus would've followed - get dropped? I'm assuming it was one of those crazy Councils in the first few hundred years...don't think it was Nicaea but I could be wrong, it's been a while. It's of particular interest to me since so many modern Christians drop that prohibition but try to use others in Deuteronomy and Leviticus to demonize and condemn LGBT people, without a consistent argument to back the cherry picking.

(cracks open some old leather bound books...)

That they cherry-pick texts that 'support' their hatred of LGBTQ individuals is their way of manifesting the unconditional Love of God on the Earthly plane.
SARC/

Of course, when you remind them that....paraphrased~~~>'If a man says he loves God and hates his brother, he is a LIAR'..........they don't like that very much

Yes leave your offering at the altar -go to your Brother.

It's good to read the whole book(s) 66 of them.

Do some of your like what Ebby said to Bill Wilson after arguing/discussing for what some say was 6 or 7 hours ... " why don't you choose a higher power of your understanding?"

I seriously doubt that it happened that way. It wasnt like the Nicene Council deciding on a creed, and then proclaiming it.

At just after the dawn of Christianity when the flock numbered only in the 100's the early Apostles fought it out, and finally agreed that was okay to allow in male converts without forcing them to get circumcisions.

From that moment on the Gentile converts flowed in, and the Jewish tribal laws went out the window, and Judaism and Christianity began to move their seperate ways.

At this early stage food rules were probably also quietly waived for Gentile converts. So by the Second Century, when Christians numbered in the millions, most Christians were Gentile converts from the length of the Mediterranean who had never heard of nor had ever participated in Jewish kosher laws. So by the time Christianity was made official in the Roman Empire by Constantine there was probably no need to repeal any prohibition on pork because most Christians had probably never lost their pork eating habits.

However most Christians in Middle East today DO avoid eating pork even though the New Testament doesnt forbid it. Pork hatred is part of the culture there. Kinda like how Jews tend to succumb to eating bacon in the West.

Maybe around the time Acts of the Apostles became popularized?

That IS interesting.^

God actually came down and said to the Jewish apostle Paul "screw being kosher!".

So Paul went ahead and ordered ham on his pizza at the roadside deli in Italy on the way to Rome?

Like I said...Interesting.

Who has risen? Could it finally be the dark lord Cthulhu has come to take his rightful place as the overlord!

That or he was having a Snickers-moment hallucination. In that case we're all going to hell for eating treif.

Cthulhu? Lots of sushi, yay!

Seafood (not fish) was also Forbidden, now we can celebrate with calamari!

Since I've been a fan of anime I thought I would share a simple Acts in 3 minutes.

^^^that edumacational video is excellent

^It is quite informative.

My bad. It was Peter, not Paul, who had the vision of unclean animals ( ie God telling him to ignore Kosher laws).

That moment WAS a "game changer" : causing Christianity to evolve from a small rogue sect of Judaism to becoming a whole separate religion.
