[Strategerist]

Our punishments came from not British law but Numbers, Deuteronomy and Leviticus. That includes, 1st, 2nd degree etc. for murder or self defense. In the OLD days, it was REQUIRED to be familiar with the OLD TESTAMENT since our laws and punishments were based on that. That stopped around the 40's in law school as a requirement or it may have been sooner like the 20's.

So can you explain why it's ok to eat shellfish now?

"So can you explain why it's ok to eat shellfish now?"

Because the Bible states so in the New Testament.

Christians are not "under" the law on diet and neither are Jews but they do not accept Christ as their Messiah.

I hope you're not going to ask me next if Adam had a belly button.
