[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To sum up: Mark and Matthew support a reading that Jesus followed dietary rules if you believe:
(1) Mark and Matthew were talking to Jews, not to gentiles.
(2) “Whatever” means bread and what  
(3) Drinking wine as a metaphor for blood would have been completely acceptable to kosher-keeping Jews of the day

(1) is patently rejected by most scholars, who point to the inclusion of detail on Jewish ritual as being for the benefit of gentile readers.

That’s all misperceived. Jesus was dealing with a particular problem with a particular group of people: Pharisees who were adding prophylactic rules to Leviticus 15:11. We’ve discussed your other points ad nauseum. https://www.chosenpeople.com/did-jesus-keep-kosher/[/quote]

You can post as many extreme fringe southern baptists and Jews for Jesus groups as you want.

The vast, vast majority of actual scholars agree that Matthew and Mark were written for both Jews and Gentiles. Why? The inclusion of detail on Jewish ritual wouldn’t have been necessary for a purely Jewish audience, but was included for the benefit of Gentiles. Mark and Matthew were written 30-40 years after Jesus’ mission to the gentiles.

In fact, there’s plenty of evidence that Mark was writing to Gentile converts in Rome. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Gospel-According-to-Mark[/quote]
