You're right I did go off track.

I don't pretend to follow a Kosher diet, and I know that my soul is not defiled by these things. I was merely interested in looking at what God said to Israel when He gave them the commands.

The OP [original post] had put a link in it to Vic's article on kosher and we would really like to keep it within that perimeter. The purpose of this section is to discuss what Vic has posted on her website. So if a newbie starts a new thread in this section, it must remain a discussion on the topic from Vic's website.
Newbies are more than welcome to join threads that are already established to discuss other topics.
Let get back on track!

Myth. We need to keep all the Biblical feasts or Jewish celebrations and eat kosher food in order to be Torah observant (keep the law) and obedient and show we belong to God.
Myth. The Vision of the Sheet which Peter had, found in Acts 10, refers strictly to people, and does not include food, like Christians believe. We are to keep kosher, and not eat certain foods because that violates Torah.
What part of the article are you in disagreement with?

I am not familiar with the Law that states one must wash their hands before they eat in the Mosaic Law. Could you provide a verse for that? Thanx.

I do not believe that concept is in the Mosaic Law [more humane to slaughter kosher]. Kosher is not even a Biblical term - it has to do with Talmudic interpretation, not what God commanded Israel in the old covenant.

Quote:sari: You're correct; it's an oral tradition based on these scriptures:
Lev 15:11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
(KJV)
Ps 26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
(KJV)
As it turns out, this tradition promotes good hygiene.

Deut 12:21
If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee,
then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
(KJV)
Lev 17:14
For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
(KJV)
Exod 22:31
And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
(KJV)
Lev 7:23-25
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it. For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
(KJV)
Lev 22:28
And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
(KJV)
Gen 32:32
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
(KJV)
