Why do christians and catholics continues to consume pork when in the bible it says not to. Just wondering.?

Question

Pork prohibited in the Bible
The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible
prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus
“And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth
not the cud; he is unclean to you”.
“Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch,
they are unclean to you.” [Leviticus 11:7-8]
Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy
“And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud,
it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their
dead carcass.” [Deuteronomy 14:8]
A similar prohibition is repeated in the Bible in the book of Isaiah chapter 65 verse 2-5.

Consumption of pork causes several diseases

logic and science. Eating of pork can cause no less than seventy different types
of diseases. A person can have various helminthes like roundworm, pinworm,
hookworm, etc. One of the most dangerous is Taenia Solium, which

Answer 1

Because - thats part of the Jewish Torah, which Christians only look to in order to denouce gay sex. Everything else contained in it has been declared A-ok by those in power.... Such as Red Lobster, female teachers, no slavery or beating your children to death for not obeying, etc etc.

Answer 2

Because the bible is not a reliable source of guidance. All it takes is one proven error to invalidate it as inerrant, and there are literally hundreds. Once you establish something as inerrant you have no idea whether the next passage you read has validity or not. This enables people to interpret the bible in the way that best suits them and the result is a couple of hundred different religions all based on the same book. If someone likes pork, finding a justification for eating it is easy.

Answer 3

First of all, why do your say Christians and Catholics ? Why not Christians and Baptists, or Christians and Methodists ?
The bible was written by superstitious people who lived two thousand years ago. If you prefer to take their word over the word of the US meat inspectors, okay that's your problem.
The reason I eat pork is because it tastes good. Speaking for myself and all of my extended family, all of my friends and neighbors - - - that's a few hundred people, not a single one of them ever caught even one of the seventy diseases that you mention in your spiel.
Just think of the probability, many thousands to one. Not one person sick.
Pigs, when penned in very small enclosers, tramping through their own waste have a terrible odor. Ignorant people think they're " unclean". Sure they are, because of the thoughtless farmers. Wild pigs, permitted to roam are just as clean as any other animal in the forest.

Answer 4

That is in the Old Testament Levitical laws. In the New Testament, God shows Peter a sheet coming down from heaven containing formerly unclean animals. God tells Peter to kill and eat. Peter says that he has never eaten an unclean animal before. God tells him that what God has cleansed is no longer unclean. The meaning of this example is that God was opening the way for the unclean Gentiles to enter heaven by faith. Gentiles had always eaten pork and they continued to do so because God also says that it is not what enters the mouth that defiles a man but what come out.

Answer 5

Here is the only answer that I can give: Jim
Act 10:9-15
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:
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
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:
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.

Answer 6

You are right.
It was the catholic church that dirtied the Christians by fooling them to eat pork and even fish without scales. They claim Jesus did not partake of pork and that makes eating pork OK. Let’s put it this way; that is like it is OK for the pope to be a Nazi; that way he did it for Christians.

This question has confused the demonic Catholic cult members. Congradulations.

With love in Christ.

Answer 7

Christians (Catholics and Protestants) are free to eat whatever they wish, as they are not bound by the proscriptions of the Mosaic Law that applied under the Old Covenant. Under the New Covenant established by Jesus Christ, "it is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean, but what comes out of him".

Answer 8

no longer all Christians devour beef. i'm a Christian and that i opt for no longer to devour beef because Deuteronomy 14:8 says no longer to and considering that Jesus didnt substitute that area of the former testomony. at the same time, i do not choose different Christians about what they opt for to devour or no longer devour. all of us has their motives why they opt for to devour or no longer devour particular issues in accordance to their beliefs. Colossians 2:16-17 16 So enable no individual choose you in foodstuff or in drink, or on the topic of a pageant or a sparkling moon or sabbaths, 17 that are a shadow of issues to come back, in spite of the undeniable fact that the substance is of Christ. Romans 14:20-21 20 do no longer ruin the artwork of God for the sake of foodstuff. All issues certainly are organic, in spite of the undeniable fact that that is evil for the guy who eats with offense. 21 that is sturdy neither to devour meat nor drink wine nor do some thing by technique of which your brother stumbles or is indignant or is made susceptible.

Answer 9

For Christians, Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses.

Christians are not held to the ceremonial parts of the Mosaic Law concerning of dietary purity and temple worship.

Christians are held to the moral law of God, some of which is expressed in the Ten Commandments.

However Jesus took the Ten Commandments to the next step summarizing them into the two Great Commandments:
+ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
+ You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

And teaching things like
+ Everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
+ Everyone is our neighbor including our enemies.

Therefore we have to go much farther than the original recipients of the Ten Commandments ever dreamed.

With love in Christ.

Answer 10

Pork was prohibited because of the disease brought on by consumption. When people learned to cook it properly, they could enjoy it without becoming ill. Times changed, dietary restrictions loosened. They were originally put in place for the safety and wellbeing of the people. Now those restrictions are no longer necessary.

Answer 11

When Peter was on his way to Rome, he was invited to have dinner with a gentile. Knowing there would be "forbidden" food there, he prayed to God, he (Peter) "saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth." In this sheet "were all kinds of four—footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air." Peter heard a voice tell him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat" (Acts 10:11-13)
