Do Nazarene Jews eat Kosher food and follow Talmud?

Yes and No, Kosher is a term that does come from Scripture but has been grossly misused. Nazarenes in general eat only what has been declared as Tahor (clean) and refrain from eating food that has been declared "amei (unclean). What Rabbinical Judaism refers to as Kosher goes way beyond the Kosher laws regarding cleanliness in Scripture. What Nazarenes refer to as Kosher is according to the Scripture and not what Rabbinical Jews consider Kosher.

Unfortunately some Messianic Jews also choose to be bound by the burdensome man-made laws of the Talmud such as: not eating dairy and meat togather. Nazarenes acknowledge that the Messiah has set us free from the Talmud. The Talmud is legalism (law on the law) and is not to be confused with Scripture.

The Messiah had much to say about the Talmud in Matthew 15:1-9, Mark 7:1-13. More can be found about man-made doctrines in Colossians 2:8 and II Thessalonians 3:6 and these passages would also cover christian man-made doctrines as well such as: Palm Sun-Day, Sun-Day Resurrection, Sun-Day Sabbath, Rapture, Trinity, and Everlasting Torment as they are also man-made doctrines completely foreign to the Scripture.

Christians are also affected by the Talmud and do not know it. The reason their Bible substitutes the real Hebrew name of the Father in Scripture for a the vain title of LORD is because Legalistic Jews stopped translating the name. The Talmud tells them to use "HaShem" which literally means "The Name" in replace of His name because they were so afraid of using the name in vain. This is a very sad situation because now they are using His name in vain by replacing it with a vain title and in the process taking away the meaning. Some Jewish translations use Adonai and most Christian translations use THE LORD, all are equally perverted.
