"We are not free, separate, and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way." ~ Thomas Mann

Ironic. That I would be cooking a pork shoulder and ribs today, huh? Well not really if you dig deep into New Testament scripture, the Law being fulfilled, replaces all of those dietary codes. Good for us. Because Southerners could not live with out our Barbeque.

I was also, pondering this thought, most of my evangelical compadres would really have a hard time with the Biblical Jesus, since he was Jewish. And Liberal. Would he be a "New York Jew" or an "Elistist California Jew" or a "Zionist Jew"?

You know the Bible/Torah mentions being liberal many times and conservative only in a negative sense. Which is totally opposite the meaning today's conservatives apply to it.

Sorry! the word conserve doesn't occur in the KJV. Sorry! the word conservative doesn't occur in the KJV. Liberal occurs 6 times in 4 verses. (search courtesy of www.BlueLetterBible.org/)

Isa 32:5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said [to be] bountiful. KJV or in plain English:
( The foolish person will no longer be called generous, Nor the miser said to be bountiful; New King James Version © 1982 Thomas Nelson )
