Where in the Bible does it say it's ok to eat pork?

Question

I know in the OT it says it's forbidden to eat pork, but I don't understand why Christians still eat it. Don't they adhere to the OT as part of the Bible? Does it say something in the NT about not having to eat a particular way anymore?

Answer 1

Mark 7:18 And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."

Colossians 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. 16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, 3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.

Answer 2

most Christians dont adhere to the OT, twisting NT scriptures to their fancy.
Pork was never meant for human consumption and God never gave people permission to eat it.
Now, no one is going to go to hell for eating Pork- it is not a salvation thing- it is a trust and obedience issue- living a life of health and abundance and taking good care, being a good steward of the 'temple' that God gave us.
Pigs are the only animal to sweat internally, there are many unhealthy toxins in the skin and that goes into the meat. Pork is poisonous to the human body and consuming it on a regualr basis is not good for the body.

Answer 3

Peters vision in the book of Acts is taken as permission to eat any of the animals forbidden in the Old Testament. One thing you need to get straight is the NEW replaced the OLD. Things that were to be observed from the Old were repeated in the New..
We do accept it and learn a lot from it, but we do not live by the Old.

If a country makes new laws to replace the old ones then the old ones are replaced and that is what happened.

Answer 4

Acts 10:9-16 states the following
9About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 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."

16This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.

Answer 5

In the Old Testament it did forbid you to eat pork because at that time it was unclean. The New testament shows that God said it was ok to eat it. This was because Jesus came into the world and made things better so all the elementry things were done away with.

Answer 6

In the Letter of St. Betty (Crocker) to the Hungarians, Chapter 8:

"For, lo, even though they do eat of the putrid and defiled, thou canst find no more worthy meat for joining with the fruit of the fowl than the fatted back of swine. Henceforth, the very sacrament of breaking fast shall, at its highest, consist of this meat with broken and swiftly heated eggs. Serve with wedges of buttered toast."

Answer 7

In the New Testament, the book of Mark 7:18, Jesus says that it is not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out.

Answer 8

If others choose to not eat pork for their own reasons, so be it. My faith is not built upon what I eat or drink, but I will support my brothers and sisters in Christ if they choose to adhere to specific practices. For example, I would not eat pork in front of someone who chooses to not eat pork.

"So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way. As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean. If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died." - Romans 14:12-15
