However, speaking frankly, to me as a Jew and as a rabbi, your chutzpah as a Christian in making determinations about Jewish scripture and Jewish law are rather off putting.
And yet on the other hand: COME ON! It's clearly cheating! XD HaShem didn't spell everything out for us in the Torah. In Exodus 23:19 where He prohibits the mixing of milk and meat, He said, "Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk." That isn't taken to mean that He was speaking exclusively to goats and lambs, but applied to all clean animals. In this same way, where He prohibits the eating the pork, there is the letter of His law and then there's the spirit of its intention; and I cannot imagine that this workaround would be in any way in keeping with the teaching that's been handed down.
My apologies, I was just having a back and forth with myself. I intended no disrespect. I think I should probably leave.
