If you traveled back in time and ate a Cheeseburger with Abraham, would you be a Jew?
Abraham mixed meat and dairy, because he never read the torah telling him not to do so.
So if a person not considered a Jew today went through a drivethru and bought a bag full of cheeseburgers, and on the exit out, thtough the grace of God went back in time to Canaan, and found himself parked before a guy named Abraham, just arriving who was so very hungry, and so in response you offer him a cheeseburger. He accepts it, eats it, finds it delicious and unobjectionable. He calls you a friend, and says you are a great guy, and are one of his people now.
Then instantly as you are accepted as a member of the community of Abraham, God yanks you like a yo-yo back to the present infront of The Grand Rabbi of Jerusalem. You have a half eaten cheeseburger in hand. He asks you who you are and where you come from, and you say you were just with Abraham eating a Cheeseburger, and you were a member of his community, a Jew. The Rabbi says Jews don't mix meat and dairy, it's written in the Torah. You say Abraham just ate a cheeseburger, and didn't have a torah when he first arrived, it wouldn't fit in his belongings, and he made you a Jew.
Who would be more right? You or the Rabbi?
Now consider this.... if you said the Rabbi, and God then sends the Rabbi back into time while you and Abraham are eating the Cheeseburger.... and the Rabbi runs up and says "Abraham, you are a Jew, you can't eat that!" and Abraham says "I don't know what you are talking about, the only Jews I know are eating Cheeseburgers" who would be more right? Who would be the more authentic Jew?
