>Mate, I simply said that "defilement" via it being shared is what the word meant. I never denied that the concept is both metaphorical and literal. You're blabbering on about nothing relevant to my argument here.
Listen, we're having some obvious problems with communication here. First you say koinos simply means 'common'. Semantic fields of 'common' in English and 'common' as used by Jews don't line up very well. Then you say I wrote koinos means literally DIRTY and that's what the article you've linked was saying which wasn't true either. Then you say I'm blabbering about something irrelevant when I'm trying to explain what I'm saying since you've given me all the reasons to suspect you're having problems understanding it.

>This is why man in his fallen state should adhere to the Levitical Law. Done.
Wow you actually hadn't explained anything and you don't even realize that. If Levitical Law is the way God wants man, tainted by sin, to live why wasn't it given to Noah and Abraham?
I think I recall Abraham being justified by something else, despite not following the Law, and that could be easily attributed to Noah too if it wasn't in scriptures.
>however as detailed by Paul, the Law of Moses was never abolished
And the same Paul also wrote Gal 3:19 and how we've died in Christ so we're not under the Law, and how kingdom of God is about righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. You'll maybe want to say that righteousness IS the act of keeping the Law but since the Law included dietary requirements this cannot be the case. Everything that's not done in faith is sin. Spirit of the Law needs to be fulfilled and it's fulfilled by agape.

>What nonsense are you talking about.
It's pointless to go into that until we get on the same page about the basics. It's not pivotal in this discussion. It could help you to understand what's going on but if that's not clear and I need to explain it then it's counterproductive now.

>Exactly.
Not exactly. Again you show you don't understand what I wrote. There's more to it, you might disagree and I don't think I can make you see what I see anyway so I'll just drop it. Maybe it'll crop up in your mind later in your life if you change your views.
