Question:
Can christians eat pork when the evidence in the BIBLE is over whelming?
2009-02-28 16:43:49 UTC
if judaism came first accepting all the messengers except jesus, and christians accept all messengers including jesus but reject mohammed and islam accepts all messengers including mohammed - then clearly the religions are linked.

If Judaism came first restricting Pork, then came Christianity which according to christians 'ALLOWS' pork consumption (although the bible disagrees hugely with this), and the muslim are forbidden to eat pork - does that mean that God had a break with christianity and allowed everyone to eat pork?

As according to the Gospel of Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus is reported to have said quite the contrary, as follows: ‘Do not think that I have come to abolish the law of Moses…’ Jesus then went on in that passage (in verse 19) to denounce anyone who would break the smallest commandment and teach others likewise.

Even though Christians can eat pork and not be condemned.(My husband eats it at his mother's house because I will not cook it in my pots and pans) It does not mean that pork is a beneficial food to the body. There was a reason it was considered unclean by God. When Christ was on earth, he did not eat pork. He observed traditional Kosher laws. Even though later, Christians were permitted to eat all food, I choose to follow whatever Jesus did on earth. I just feel better following in the footsteps of the Master and doing whatever Jesus did.



I know that Christians are not condemned because of what they eat, but I just think we need to make good choices in what we put in our bodies.



Even though some things are permitted does not mean that these things are beneficial. Even today, pork has parasites that cannot be cooked out even at high temperatures. I don't eat it and my children never ate it when they were growing up. I do not condemn anyone that does, and I do not think eating pork or shellfish(created to absorb toxins so fish will have clean water to swim in) will prevent anyone from going to heaven. It is just my choice not to eat these things, and I have not done so for many years. I do not miss them at all.



Christians, if you enjoy pork, eat it. All food was declared clean in the New Testament. I just feel better not doing it. It is a choice each one must make for themselves, while being careful about not condemning anyone else one for making a different choice. Peace and blessings to you all!



By the way, if I were starving I would eat pork or anything I needed to keep alive! But being that I am a long way off from starvation at this point, I choose not to eat it. Peace!

The bible says you shouldn't eat pork.



The distinction of clean and unclean foods were originally made all the way back in the book of Genesis with Noah, before Jews. They were just repeated in Leviticus 11 and were just described in more detail. So these food laws were meant for everyone, not just the Jews. And they were never changed....



Some people have thought it is now ok to eat because of mis-interpretation of scripture....



The verse where it says not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man, but that which comes out of the mouth,this defiles a man has nothing to do with unclean foods, if people read the entire section in context the Pharisees were telling them they were defiled because they did not wash their hands before breaking bread.



The verses in Acts where Peter see's a sheet come down showing unclean animals and saying they are clean isn't literal. If they read further it explains those verses, it actually says it wasn't talking about the animals literally, it was talking about the Gentiles (who were originally considered unclean). Once Stephen was stoned the Gospel was taken to the Gentiles. God was telling Peter that they are no longer to be considered unclean anymore. It refers to PEOPLE, not animals. The animals in the vision were just used as an example.



The verse that says everything God has created is good, and no food is to 'be rejected, provided if is received with thanksgiving: the word of God and prayer make it holy.... By examining this passage in its overall context, Paul was countering a false teaching by saying that it is permissible to eat animal flesh as long as the meats were approved in the word of God. Paul was addressing the subject of enforced vegetarianism, not the subject of "unclean meats."



Unclean animals are still unhealthy and shouldn't be eaten. God didn't change the animals and he didn't just change His mind about them.

Old Testament Jews were not allowed to do anything that made them "unclean" (such as eating pork); this was part of the Old Covenant. Jesus sealed the New Covenant with his blood, no longer did ceremonial cleanliness practices matter. Other ceremonial cleanliness practices that were abolished include mixing wool and cotton, interbreeding animals, coming near corpses etc.



Many believe that the reason God kept some meats off the menu is because of hygienic reasons, because certain animals were used in pagan rituals, or just for a "teaching tool".

Most Christians think it's ok to eat unclean meats because of Peter's vision in Acts 10:9-16. Unfortunately people don't read the rest of the chapter to see that we are not supposed to descriminate other people, that all who choose to do so may have a part in the kingdom of heaven.

As for believing different prophets, Matthew 24:11 says many false prophets shall arise and deceive many. So if there are false prophets, there must be true prophets as well. The only way we can tell the difference is to test them by the Bible.

Then why is it such a breakthrough to Peter when he has the vision of unclean food? He is being taught that he is to minister to all people, not just his fellow Jews, and that the divisive restrictions on obedient Jews were often symbolic reminders to be a separate and different people. (Acts 10:9-16) Paul states in Romans 14:14, foods are not unclean in and of themselves. This backs up what Jesus said in Matthew 15 that it isn't what goes into a person's body that is unclean, but what comes out. He was making the point that people follow every little rule, like dietary rules, but their actions are still bad. While Jesus was here on earth, he upheld the laws, but pointed out that there was a greater spiritual reason for them. With his death and resurrection, we are freed from the ceremonial laws and subject to the spiritual laws.

christians read what they want into the Bible & are led astray by lies

that the pastors & ministers dream up.

If YHWH Gods Word say its not okay to eat pork, shell fish, ostrich

rabbit etc then that is good enough for me.

The Old Testament as well as the Koran are desert survival manuals. If the scripture and the surah is read carefully, the reader will discover step by step instructions on staying clean, remaining free of disease, the proper methods of slaughter and food preparation, and also when to eat certain foods or not to eat them at all due to the high risk of spoilage and parasitic infection. Pork falls into this latter category, as does fish and seafoods.



The instructions were written at a time when our modern conveniences of refrigeration and microwave cooking were non-existent, so they seem out of date to us and probably no longer apply even though they remain a strict part of certain religious practices.

The law of Moses were mostly for Israel and a covenant between Israel & the LORD God (Yahweh Elohim).



And pork back then was an unclean animal. Today's pork is better, yet still their meat is probably not the best meat.



But in the New Testament we have the New Covenant that is between Jesus Christ our Lord & Savior and us who He redeemed. And the LORD Gave Peter a vision of a blanket of unclean meats, etc. and said, "Eat.". Peter responded by saying that he never ate an unclean thing before... But the LORD told Peter, "What God has made Holy is Holy.".



Moral of the story, when God made me holy, though not born Jewish, but a Gentile, I am Holy. Because God anointed me & sealed my heart His holy child.

That is for Peter to grasp. That the Gentile Christians were holy now since they believed on Jesus Christ and are redeemed.



Same thing for pork. If you bless your food, pray over it before eating it, Feel free to eat some. (Unless God has already gave you a personal word not to.) To some it is a sin, but to others it isn't. In Christianity, we are not under the letter of the law, but under Grace. So we follow after the leading of the Holy Spirit.

So we are to watch what we eat around some with weak faith so not to cause them to stumble. So? If eating pork offends someone at the table, I wouldn't serve it.



It is true that under the new Covenant, we still need to bless our food. There seems to be a problem with everything we buy to eat now adays anyway.



Matthew5:17+

19 Whosoever therefore shall beak one of these least commandments & shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of heaven: but whsoever shall do & teach them, the same shall be called great in teh kindgom of heaven.

(The law is really under the two 1. Love God. 2. Love your neighbor as self. So love fulfilles the law because we love God & obey God & love our neigbor as ourself.)

This is a verse for those who are in the Kingdom of Heaven (So people who are born of His Spirit.) There are different levels of position in Gods Kingdom between the Saints. And this has to do with rewards.



20. To enter the Kingdom of heaven you need the love of God in your heart.



Jesus isn't really denouncing people, but saying that it is best to obey God.

When God tells me to eat pork that He blessed it, then I am not going to follow the written law, but obey God & eat the pork.





Now if what you are asking about is this pork spending bill?

Do you have to keep posting this question and I keep posting this answer?





Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.







Sounds like you are giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils and speaking lies in hypocrisy according to this Scripture, and you don't believe or know the truth.



Or is it that you are just so unbelievably ignorant that you haven't got the slightest idea about the things you so confidently assert?





You are a Muslim aren't you?
2009-02-28 17:01:03 UTC
Well, yes they can eat pork. For one thing that rule was for the Jews.



It also says in the Bible this:



Romans 14:13-23



Then let us no more pass judgment on one another, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for any one who things it unclean. If you brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died. So do not let your good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit; he who thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. Let us then pursue what makes for pace and for mutual upbuilding. Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for any one to make others fall by what he eats; it is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother stumble; The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves. But he who has doubts is condemned, if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.
2009-02-28 17:17:46 UTC
The NT states that one can eat any meat, that all meat is clean and that no one is obliged to eat meat or be obliged not to eat meat- so long as it does not offend one's brother:



1 Corinthians 10:25-26

25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, 26for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."



Romans 14:20-21

20Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall.



Romans 14:6

He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.



The NT also mentions Peter having a vision from God, where God tells Peter to eat all meat and not reject food given from God:



Acts 10

11He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. 13Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." 14"Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."

15The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."





The only food we must avoid is:



Acts 15:29

You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals

You are completely off the mark.



Mark 7:14-23: “Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, ‘Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him unclean by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean.’



Try and understand.

You're a skeptic. A true Christian can drink poison & it will not hurt him at all. But it is written, "do not put the Lord your God to the test." If pork offends another that you're eating with, you should not eat it or it might cause your friend to stumble. It's okay for non-Jewish Christians to eat anything, but they are suppose to abstain from foods that offend others while they're in their company.

Hi. Kashrut laws are binding to Jewish people only. The Noahide laws are binding to everyone else and there is no prohibition to eat or not eat pork as a gentile within the Noahide laws.
2009-02-28 16:47:51 UTC
all sin is washed under holy blood.





Acts 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.





and you are very much incorrect. Jesus denounced no one for doing such things. He said I am come to complete the law, not do away with it. He is my sabbath, my rest. if the Lord works even on His day why shouldn't i? if i were without grace i would be condemning myself in these sins. but sin has no hold upon those who believe on Jesus Christ. He enabled us to reach into hell without being touched by it.

Mark 7:17-19



17After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18"Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? 19For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")
2009-02-28 17:08:42 UTC
This is why:



"He said to them, "Are you so ignorant? Don't you know that nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean? For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and is expelled as waste." (Thus he declared all foods clean.)" (Mark 7:18-19)

There is a lot of controversy on this. To each his own. I don't eat pork or the other scavengers prohibited in the Old Testament. I just do it for myself.



People have strong opinions about food and it is best to let such guidance come from within. It is clear this can be a giant wedge between people so the subject is best left alone. I certainly don't make a point of it and many people don't even know I do it unless, for example, they are literally putting a pepperoni into my mouth and I have to politely protest.



If I find out there is shrimp in the sauce I won't eat it or the food it is on. I ask alot of questions when ordering. (but then, so do people with allergies). I don't make a stink about it, but I don't lie, either, if someone asks me. I simply say, I think the OT instructs me not to.



Scripture says to not eat or drink something someone thinks is horrific or if it will cause them to stumble and fall (alcohol with an alcoholic; sushi with a pacifistic vegetarian who would find it upsetting) but it doesn't say, specifically, to abandon the OT dietary laws about consumption of scavengers and eat something just to make someone feel MORE comfortable.



Sometimes I have eaten things people swore were okay...but they weren't. For example, "Turkey Sausage" is almost always stuffed in pork "casings" a glam word for intestines. Eeewwwwwwwwwww!!! So, if you are getting turkey sausage (or any kind, for that matter) stick with the patties or the kind without the "casing" (the thin clear rubber-like covering that is "edible").



(By the way, I have tasted pork. bacon for example...when I was at my grandmother's as a child...and it tastes heavenly! The fake bacons don't cut it. And shrimp and lobster...would love to eat them...sigh!)



Re: Noahide laws...would that include all ten of the Commandments?



Also, I appreciate all of the Scripture being quoted. As far as guessing what they may have been referring to in Jesus' time, it is hard for me to say. They didn't specify pork or scavengers, and I wish they had.



Rabbinical law, by then, having become the legalistic "den of theives" Jesus called it when he trashed the synogogue, had made eating a complex nightmare.



However, the entire extended community kept the basic OT food laws so Jesus and his apostles kept them as well. I don't see how they would have been referring to pork in any of those conversations...it would have been out of the question. Kind of like me randomly adding "get week's supply of illegal drugs" to my grocery and errand list. It just isn't something that I'm gonna do...so if I am talking about something "forbidden" or "illegal" I am most likely referring to a coconut cake, Fritos, German beer, or lingerie...things I want but probably shouldn't have or spend on.



Freeing them of the thinking that the rabbis were in charge of calling something holy with their kosher laws was anathema to Jesus...because it was clear they were in effect, charging indulgences at the synogogues. Ritualistic slaughter was also ended with Jesus...something he CLEARLY stated and is agreed upon today. This issue remains unclear to many.



It is nice to have all the references and your explanations in one handy place. They are mainly saying the same thing, but I like the different perspectives on the same texts and the sincerity with which they are being communicated. I remain open-minded.



Regarding God and Peter's exchange, was Peter referring to food that had not been blessed by a rabbi or approved by all of the other man-imposed complexities of rabbinical law and tradition placed on food sources, preparation, blessing, and eating? Was God saying that His blessing sufficed? Was God saying not to call anything common? All animals...many four-footed beasts and even fowl were referred to...they were wild...unblessed. [I don't have the answers, just that these verses don't clear it up for me] http://books.google.com/books?id=7dEAk-C3hdwC&pg=PA95&lpg=PA95&dq=kosher+law+ancient&source=bl&ots=j-UgaM3dz7&sig=9Dk6irX-bb5Vn7SD3J2eN2hD5pY&hl=en&ei=tPGpSdOVJIKEsAPAstHgDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result#PPA89,M1





Later, Peter is admonished to not call anyone unclean or common. It seems to me that Peter had become a Kosher snob and God was setting him straight. Kosher laws had become quite elaborate, elevating the role of the rabbi to a 24/7 minister, food blesser, dispute resolver and interpreter of not only Scripture, but of rabbinical law. I think God was telling Peter to dispense with the legalism and move on with his ministry of embracing all people regardless of their customs...nobody was too common and food doesn't make these souls unclean...he is allowed...mandated to minister to them up close and personal.



(but I have not studied the issue from this angle, just the opposite view, so I am probably totally off. I am not trying to refute anything...just reading and giving my take of the references in context.)



My grandfather, a Christian, slaughted his livestock using the Kosher method, passed down through generations for humane purposes:



"Jewish law states that kosher animals must be slaughtered according to a strict set of guidelines, the slaughter (shechita) being designed to minimize the pain inflicted. A professional slaughterer, or (shochet), uses a large razor-sharp knife with absolutely no irregularities, nicks or dents. A single cut is made across the throat, severing both carotid arteries, both jugular veins, both Vagus nerves, the trachea and the esophagus, usually causing death in 3-4 seconds. (If done improperly the death could take minutes; this is true for any method of slaughtering.) " (my family has a tradition of marching to its own drumbeat...based on beliefs, even though unpopular)

This is very simple.



The Kosher laws are ONLY binding on JEWISH people.



This has always, always been the case.



Christians are welcome to join us in keeping kosher - but they are not obliged to. Jews are.



The Jewish religious laws were NEVER meant to apply to NON Jews.



Doesn't matter what Jesus did or didn't say. Jesus has no bearing on Judaism whatsoever.

Do read the New Testament a bit more thoroughly on the subject. Here you will see that the food laws and the Gentiles/non Jews are being put together in this new order of things because now we are dealing with Gentiles who believe and who are not expected to be under the law in their eating. The Gospel is being opened up to the non Jews, they are to be "grafted in".



Acts 10

9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:



10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,



11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:



12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.



13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.



14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.



15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.



16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.



17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,



18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.



19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.



20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.



21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause wherefore ye are come?



22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.



23 Then called he them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.



24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.



25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped [him].



26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.



27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.



28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.



29 Therefore came I [unto you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?



30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,



31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.



32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of [one] Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
