Christianity is for chastity. Sexual relationships are allowed only within marriages, otherwise it is adultry. Wine and pork are not allowed. They are as haram as they are in Islam. So, where are you from your faith? Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.

Fellows, thanks for answering but maybe I did not express my point re sex clearly: I know it is allowed a nd encouraged within marraige. Is this what happens? What about all the relationships and the living together without marriage? This is what I mean. Thanks.

Although there are many ways Christianity is practiced today, I've never heard that wine and pork are not allowed. Maybe it's white wine with pork?
To many Christians, their religion is about relationship more that law. However, there are many legalistic interpretations of Christianity that like rules, and often pick and choose from the Old Law the ones that they would like the world to live by.
For myself, the teaching I try to adhere to are Jesus teachings on love and forgiveness.

If you're wanting to find fault with Christians, you won't have to look very hard. We're all human, in fact we're all sinners saved by grace. Some of us are more willing to admit this than others. It's interesting to note that throughout the Gospels, religious leader often confronted Jesus with similar questions. "Is this not sin, is that not sin..." You ought to read how Jesus dealt with those questions. It makes good reading.

Actually, with the coming of Jesus and the New Covenant, wine and pork are allowed in Christianity. Sex is fine within the marriage relationship. The original teachings in the Old Testament were to prepare us for the coming of the Lord. Anything in abundance (wine or pork) is looked upon as idolatry because you are showing more concern for things of this earth (bodily pleasure).
This is such a good answer. but I think we should add that everyone makes mistakes. no one can be perfect. That is why we so desperately need Jesus, he is our saving grace.

*Wine and pork are not allowed. They are as haram as they are in Islam. *
Yes, haram without a doubt for all of the Abrahmic religions.
Actually Jesus changed not the dietary laws or
any of the Mosaic laws either. No where in the Bible does Jesus condone the eating of pigs. Paul changed the dietary laws and since that was to the liking of the Europeans that usurped the Abrahmic religion, they see that as OK. Jesus would be very disappointed and would still refuse to eat pork today if he was alive.
Muslims and the Jewish are the religious groups today that follow the dietary laws ,expressed though Moses and Muhammad that Jesus himself followed.
Christians follow Paul/Saul and not Jesus.

If you don't know right from wrong, (which you do), ask Jesus to correct you. Ask Him what you should be doing and not doing
