John,

I certainly don't mean this as a personal attack, but that's pretty much how Albert comes across to me, too, and is pretty much why I don't see discussion with him as very helpful generally, unless it happens to be on a subject that he hasn't formed an opinion on as yet. (Or, if one happens to be a PhD, he seems to at least listen with a somewhat open mind).


I'm hoping I'm just too sensitive and his bark is bigger than his bite!Approve

Albert,

I think this debate has become too broad, so much so that it will almost take a giant essay each time to do justice to the topic.


I agree. I still hope to find time to post one more larger response, and I would still be interested in your opinion about my question concerning Moses and the 12 tribes. Perhaps it was dealt with previously on this forum, but I am not aware of it.

Albert,

I came to this thread to save it since the forum is shutting down but found that you had deleted your posts.If you're still here at this last minute, would you tell me again what part of the Law the Jews used to conclude that they couldn't eat with Gentiles? Thanks and Happy New Year!

Hello again Jefscott. I've changed my handle, as you can see. I'm hoping to only post occasionally here and not get too involved, but from time to time might put in a word or two. I only just found your post - if you want to let me know about a post, you can send me a private message and I'll get notified by email.

I can't remember the passages but the basic idea I think is (a) if you sat where an unclean person sat, or did other stuff which would be hard to avoid if you were in their house, then you became unclean also, and (b) Gentiles usually would be unclean, unless they followed all the cleanliness laws required for strangers in the land, which is unlikely. Hence you couldn't eat with Gentiles.

Happy New Year to you too! cheers

Thanks!  That explanation rings a bell.  And it explains why it's not so clear!
 
Look forward to your posts!!:-)
