Here are a couple of explanations about the meat/dairy thing that might help. The verse is mentioned three times. Therefore you start with the most obvious meaning and then do a little deeper and then a little deeper. It does make sense when you think about it. I've also felt there was an animal cruelty aspect to this verse as well. Torah is clear we are to be kind to our animal friends.
That's Paul. Or is it? Nowadays it's disputed that it was Paul who wrote Hebrews. And, if he didn't, then Hebrews was written by an unknown author. So, are you saying that it was Paul or an unknown author who was responsible for having abrogated the Creation Sabbath? Good grief, some of you guys are an easy sell.

So, not only is there no discernible reason for the injunction, but traditional interpretation of the letter of the law has not only Jews performing absurdities, but the nation of Israel imposing those absurdities on visitors who eat in their public facilities. Some "light" to the world.
Animals killed were done so for a variety of reasons, and are killed in a manner that it still considered to be one of the kindest, swiftest manners to do the deed. It is also a topic that you would need to do some research on, which you clearly aren't.
Working animals get to rest on Shabbos just like humans. We are commanded to feed them before ourselves, and are commanded to care for them. You seem very hostile toward Judaism (unless you are an atheist, in which case I understand NONE of the religious laws are going to make sense). But if you are Xian and are questioning the Torah, on which your religion actually claims as it's foundation, the hostility seems unwarranted.

What I am hostile toward, Shalhavet, is someone coming on here and claiming that Judaism in any of its current permutations is in any way better than Christianity, that Jews are chosen to enlighten the world, and/or that Torah is authoritative. You don’t see me on the Judaism forum.
While that may be true to a large extent, rote repetition without consideration of the purpose of the action is worse than useless and doing something only because "it is the law" fails no matter how many times you do it. Spiritual exercise is well and good, but it is the awareness of the principle being exercised that has value.
You’re wrong here and I base that on the assumption that you never tried...

As Christians (followers of Christ) we should not be hostile though
This is a forum to discuss Christianity not for Christians to chase everyone off who has a different view than them
Christianity is very divided and is the same as the other religions in that it has taken on ritual and doctrines which are opposed to the spirit which is Christ which was in the prophets of old
the body of Christ (believers) are to join together in the same spirit, whether they are Jew/gentile slave/free male/female. This is not talking about literal designations but the spiritual ones

My apologies if you felt that's what I was doing. It's why I asked several posts up if I should be here or not. Obviously I think Judaism is better, otherwise I would be a Christian, which I am not. While I like the back and forth of these discussions, I have no intention of arguing anybody's beliefs with them, as it is generally pointless.
Again, my apologies if you felt my tone was hostile.
