The Fact that Rabbis have for centuries attempted to unpack and unravel the Tanakh makes the point that these writings are incomplete, vague, arbitrary and contradictory.
One example I posted was that one text says you can sell dead animal for food, another says no. One text says unclean to touch a dead animal another says go ahead and use the fat.
Nothing makes any sense to us, who can only try to surmise the process, the motives and the purpose of these works, and who are separated from the cultural peculiarities of the times of the Levite writers.
Why were disease spreading locusts ok to eat (nuisance?) but not grasshoppers, delicious crabs or rabbits? Why giraffes ok to eat but not camels? (OCD?) Why ok to sleep with daughter but not granddaughter? (omission?) Why destroy a ceramic pot if it touches something ceremonially unclean but leather and wood are ok to keep? (pots are cheaper to make?) Why was it forbidden to eat fruit from a transplanted tree for 3 years then have to travel to Jerusalem to eat the fruit of the 4th year? (Sacred associations of trees with goddess and sun?) Why pork prohibition? (Philistines introduced them, Attis story?) Why is eating a swan or heron egg forbidden but not a goose egg? (???)
These are the works that have had Rabbis wrangling for centuries. Now JWs are arguing about semantics and definitions to decode what medical treatment they can give their dying child.
When does this lunacy end?
