MrGordon,

you say,

s. Thus, the law against eating fat was given only to the nation of Israel

well, if that's your reasoning,

then the law of Thou shalt not kill was only given to the nation of Israel as well,

so Christians are now free to kill????

Sorry, but the law is for all people and the law against eating fat is just the same as the law of not commiting adultery.

James 2 10

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.
