Why christians are allowed to eat pork?

Question

where in the old testamen God says "Dont eat pork". and where in New testament he changed his mind and says "Ok no problem, eat it" Please give these two verses, thank you

Answer 1

Pork was unhealthy back then. Plus thats Jewish law and Christianity now includes gentiles. Also it is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean, not what goes into him. Plus Christians are no longer bound by the law of the old covenant because it has been fulfulled. I can keep going if you like

Answer 2

AC 10:15 The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
this verse is not refering to Pork and/or unkosher food. It is refering to the Gentiles because then Gentiles were considered unclean and it would make you unclean to socialize with them. You should read the new testament from the point of veiw of the people that wrote it down not from the time period and place that you live in modern times. Their outlook on things was different based upon there surronding and the way that they were raised.

a bunch of people have answered were the verse is found that states that you can not eat pork.
There is no verse that says the different... Remember Jesus was a Jew, Jews did not eat pork, There fore Jesus did not eat pork.

Answer 3

Deuteronomy 14:8 Leave the pork alone

Acts 10:9-16 Have a ham sandwich

Answer 4

Leviticus, Deuteronomy, lots of places. This is the Old Testament dispensation.

See Acts 11:4-10 in the New Testament.

Answer 5

Wait a minute, is there a verse in the OT which says that Christians are not supposed to eat pork? I've been a Christian for many years and have never come across such a verse. I would appreciate it if you can first produce the verse that says in no uncertain terms that Christians are forbidden to eat pork.

Answer 6

Christ said, I come not to distroy the law but to fufill it. Christ was the perfect sacrifice that did away with the old testament (not just part of it, all of it) the old testament is a history for refernce, chirst restated all the important sections of the old testament.
the 10 commandments were restated as " “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matt. 22:37-40

Answer 7

religious scriptures were created or developed by men of knowledge. looking practicaly at it , these scriptures has something to do with the ways of living of human beings. like in hindu religion eating beef is prohibited. india is predominnantly a hot country, and beef is red meat which is digested with difficulty in hot climates. christianity came into existence in middle east and prohibition of pork had something to do with the climatic conditions there, but with the expansion and with the new testament , the propounders of that religion must have thought it wont harm if pork was allowed

Answer 8

Because God told Peter it's okay! "He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. 13 Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."

AC 10:14 "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."

AC 10:15 The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."

Answer 9

In Matthew Chapter 15 or 16 (can't remember which) Jesus tells his diciples that what goes in the mouth isn't what defiles him, but what comes out. Now this was concerning not eating with clean hands, but it could be thought of about much of what was in the law about not eating pork.

Answer 10
