This is the Baymont podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today we wrap up our study of Galatians and try to grapple with the implications of this gospel for Jews and Gentiles.

Here comes the Pino Bacon. Pint O Bacon. Oh, I've been waiting for this. That's right. It's coming to the table.

After four chapters of pretty direct argument for these Gentile believers, we have taken a look last podcast. We took a visual look.

We had a diagram representation of Paul's arguments as they related to covenants.

While the context of Galatia is incredibly foreign to us, hopefully we have a much better understanding now.

At this point in our Galatians study of the argument that Paul is making, whether or not Jews should follow the law is not up for discussion.

Let me say that again. Whether or not Jews would be Torah observant, whether they would obey the mix up mass, say how to raw, that's not up for discussion.

This was never a problem for the New Testament community. There's never a verse in your New Testament asking the question about whether or not Jews should eat kosher, whether or not they should follow Torah.

Now evangelicals have often assumed that's because they're all the same, but in fact it's not the case because, of course they would follow Torah.

They see themselves under this everlasting covenant. It was obvious to them that Jews would carry the mix up, say how to raw.

That was their role in the world and had been for generations. So Brent, we can say this. Here comes the Pytobacon.

Marty the Jew is sitting at the table along with his good friend and Bama podcast cohost Brent Billings. Is Marty going to eat the Pynobacon? I don't think so.

Nope. No eating the Pynobacon for me.

Fun little tidbit, fun little side note. Let's say I'm not at your friend's restaurant or maybe let's even say I am at your friend's restaurant.

You have brought me and you didn't tell your friend Brent, you should have, but you didn't. So you kind of dropped a ball there.

But you didn't tell them about my kosher eating and he is so proud your friend is of his Pynobacon that he brings it out to my table unknowingly.

He doesn't know he doesn't understand kosher law. He is just trying to serve me out of his hospitality.

Now this is a sketchy little gray area because Orthodox Judaism is definitely going to land on do not eat the bacon.

But as a Jesus Jew, that's what I'm going to call myself here. Do I eat the bacon Brent? I think you might. I think I might.

Like if this is him truly wanting to serve me and bless me, I think the Jesus joke, I think Paul said whatever they put in front of you, you eat.

Now he didn't say it in that kind of situation, but is that the extension of the heart of is that what Torah would actually have me do?

Even though Torah says don't eat the bacon is Torah actually trying to teach me to be the kind of person that would eat, but nevertheless I digress.
