Answer 1

In the Bible Jesus said, "If GOD says something is acceptable don't say it isn't" Acts 10 15
GOD gave us the animals to eat, and yes it is ok to eat all the animals, but GOD also say that if you fell that you should not then don't, or you will be sinning, because if you do something you know you should not then you are sinning. ( sorry forgot where :) Just pray about it and see what GOD tells you! Here is a web site where you can find Bible verses fast :) www.Biblegateway.com
And if you know something is right, but someone else does not, dont do it in front of them, like eating something you know is right but they think is wrong. ( also in the Bible, forgot where )

Answer 2

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
The other non-Muslims and atheists will agree only if convinced through reason, 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 is in lay man’s terminology called tapeworm. It harbours in the intestine and is very long. Its ova i.e. eggs, enter the blood stream and can reach almost all the organs of the body. If it enters the brain it can cause memory loss. If it enters the heart it can cause heart attack, if it enters the eye it can cause blindness, if it enters the liver it can cause liver damage. It can damage almost all the organs of the body.

Another dangerous helminthes is Trichura Tichurasis. A common misconception about pork is that if it is cooked well, these ova die. In a research project undertaken in America, it was found that out of twenty-four people suffering from Trichura Tichurasis, twenty two had cooked the pork very well. This indicates that the ova present in the pork do not die under normal cooking temperature.

Pork has fat building material
Pork has very little muscle building material and contains excess of fat. This fat gets deposited in the vessels and can cause hypertension and heart attack. It is not surprising that over 50% of Americans suffer from hypertension.


Pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth
The pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth. It lives and thrives on muck, faeces and dirt. It is the best scavenger that I know that God has produced. In the villages they don’t have modern toilets and the villagers excrete in the open air. Very often excreta is cleared by pigs.

Some may argue that in advanced countries like Australia, pigs are bred in very clean and hygienic conditions. Even in these hygienic conditions the pigs are kept together in sties. No matter how hard you try to keep them clean they are filthy by nature. They eat and enjoy their own as well as their neighbour’s excreta.

Answer 3

Depends on your religion. The Jewish Bible (the first five books, also known as the old testament) says not to eat pork. But the Christian Bible says that Jesus came to overcome the old laws. However, some Christians choose certain laws to continue, like those against homosexuality, but not the laws about avoiding pork.
The prohibition about pork says that pig is an unclean animal. It says you can only eat animals that have a split hoof AND chew their cud, which is cows.

Answer 4

Since the first time, during the time of Noah, men were allowed to eat meat, God has differentiate between the clean and unclean animals.
1 Then the LORD said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; 3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.” (Genesis 7:1-4)

Then in Leveticus 11, after the Jews became a nation and knew how to read and write this law was written in the book.

1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth: 3 Among the animals, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud—that you may eat. 4 Nevertheless these you shall not eat among those that chew the cud or those that have cloven hooves: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you; 5 the rock hyrax, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you; 6 the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you; 7 and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. 8 Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you. (Leviticus 11:1-8)

In Isaiah 66:17 God was talking through the prophet Isaiah about how He hated the people who transgressed His commandments on health and is going to destroy them at the end of time.
15 For behold, the LORD will come with fire
And with His chariots, like a whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by His sword
The LORD will judge all flesh;
And the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 “ Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves,
To go to the gardens
After an idol in the midst,
Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,
Shall be consumed together,” says the LORD.

Answer 5

Religious dietary law.Pork is from a pig.A pig is an unclean animal.For an animal with four legs to be clean,they must have fully cloven hooves,at least two stomaches,and chew their own cud.These laws originated with the Jews handed down by G-d.The Muslims adopted this practice.

Answer 6

yes the Bible does say not to eat pork in Leviticus 11:7. "And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you."

i don't see what part of that Christians don't understand. Then they turn around and say that this is the word of God. *rolls eyes*

Answer 7

Well, I don't even see why Christians have the O.T. as still part of the bible if some of them don't obey half the laws in them! But since the N.T. decided that all food is ok, I don't get it...oh dear!

Answer 8

In the Old Testament of the Holy Bible the Israelites were instructed not to eat pig meat - their relationship with God was physical "do's and don'ts". In the New Testament of the Holy Bible, the eating of any meat is permissive, as the relationship with God [Jesus] of the New Testament is spiritual - not physical !
In the Q'uran, the Muslim refrain from eating pork as a gesture of their faith.

Answer 9

Muslims are not allowed to eat pork as stated in the Quran because the pigs are so full of bacteria that are not and cannot be killed even cooked in high temperature. And it are the cause for all kinds all of illness!!!
