Okay, I love Deuteronomy 14:21b, "You must not cook a young goat in its mother's milk." What is the spiritual significance of that? None! It's just wrong, come on, God's sense of fair play just can't allow some things!

I find Jesus' response to the questioner in Mark 12:34 curious, " Realizing how much the man understood, Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God." Knowing and being are never the same. There are scores of people who know much about Scripture, Jesus, and the Kingdom of Heaven but the pressing question is still the same 2,000 years later, are we in are just not far.
