Thousands of years of tradition taught the newest Jewish Christians ...

You mean the Jewish Christians who were born and raised under the old covenant? You are here to force cultic laws limited to ancient Israel in the land upon all God’s new covenant people.

It is a fit that will not work, first of all because gentiles were never subject to these laws, and second, because we know that Christ has set us free from these things.

Abraham only at clean food.

C&V, s’il vous plait? Abraham was a gentile, the father of many nations. His faith became reality long before Mosaic food laws.

There's ample scriptural evidence that shows that the food designations created by Christ existed before the old covenant was struck.

Gen 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

There's also biblical evidence that shows that Peter respected the Lord's food laws 20 to 30 years after the death of Christ.

Act 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

There is also scriptural evidence that the Lord's food laws are to be respected in the future:

Isa 66:17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

So in contrast to this evidence (and more which I've outlined quite a bit in this thread), I have you putting forth a philosophy, totally unsupported by scripture, based mostly on what tradition has taught you. No thanks. I'll believe scripture.
