There is a commandment of circumcision, but one will not find an explanation in the Written Torah of what circumcision means, the where, what and how. Likewise there is a prohibition of working on the Sabbath, but there is no definition as to what constitutes forbidden tasks. There are commandments of fringes on four-cornered garments, and phylacteries placed on hand and head, but there is no explanation of how these are to be produced or how they are to be worn. There is also a mandate of ritual slaughter that renders kosher species of animals permissible for Jewish consumption, but there are no instructions for how this is to be performed. Deuteronomy 12:21 states “slaughter...as I have commanded you”, yet nowhere in the Written Torah do we find the details of that command. Also, the Hebrew text consists of consonants only. There are no written vowels. Words without vowels are clearly ambiguous. They could be read in many different ways with altogether differing meanings.

That is not the criteria for kosher found in the OT.

It's chewing the cud and cloven hooves, not HOW it's slaughtered.

The more you talk the more you are demonstrating just making stuff up as you go along.

Really??


Genesis 17:13
He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.


Romans 4:11

And he received circumcision as a sign and the seal of the righteousness of his faith, when in uncircumcision, that he would be the father to all those who believe among the uncircumcision, that it would be reckoned to them also for righteousness.
