What I don't get is, chronographicly, it goes Jews, Christans Muslims.
Jews = Kosha
Christians = Whatever they want
Muslims = Halal, which is more or less the same as kosha.

So what happened for them to change their mind back?

it's to do with the part of the world they are in.
it was simply not a good idea to eat pork and shellfish in the middle east. those dietary laws are more the early form of food hygiene than anything.
same with the foreskin thing, cuts down on infection and that.

Same with the burial of corpses within 24h ruling.
It's not the will of God, but the absence of refridgeration and adequate food hygiene you stupid cunts.

There is something in the bible about burning your house down if you get mould in the basement.
Based on some really cunty mould they used to have which would kill loads of people a year and spread through towns.

To be honest that makes the most sense of the laws.
"Oy, Bill burn your own house down, or your neighbours kids might get sick"
"no, fuck off"
"Bill, God says you should do it or you'll die"
"ohhh alright then"

And another set for everything else is exactly that.

Easy
The rules are designed for pre-technological, desert-dwelling nomadic tribal survival. If you can't refrigerate stuff, it goes off. Shellfish, pork, milk-based dishes etc etc are not good ideas in a desert.
Instead of some clever bloke trying to convince people that these foods might be dodgy, it was easier to claim they were rules given by God.
