It's kind of a bummer for you if you're a Christian.
God hates shellfish.
Leviticus 11:9-12
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Deuteronomy 14:9-10
These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

No; I don't eat lobster.
Is shrimp or pork bad to eat?
First of all they are scavengers. If you go back in the Old Testament; God distinguished what foods we should eat and which one's we shouldn't. Now if you decide too; that's your choice, but some groups don't because it's an abomination to eat anything unclean. Isn't our body the temple of God as stated in 1Cor.3:18-19? We supposed to take care of our body and be in good health (3John 1:2).
Shrimp are made to eat the garbage under the sea floor; they carry diseases too. The pig is a scavenger too; it eats the slop on the earth and if you looked under a microscope of cooked ham; you will find worms in it. You really want tricinosis and diseases and things in your body?
** TEXTS THAT INVOLVE THE CLEAN AND UNCLEAN MEATS:
GEN.18:7-8; LEV.11; 20:25; DEUT.14; ISAIAH 66:17; EZEK.22:26; DAN.1:8; MATT.3:4; LUKE 24:41-43; ACTS 10:10-14; 1COR.3:16-17; 9:27; 2COR.6:17; AND REV.21:8.
----IF THE CLEAN AND UNCLEAN MEATS WEREN'T VALID FOR TODAY; THEN WHY OH WHY WOULD THE LORD PLEAD WITH FLESH NOT TO EAT UNCLEAN MEAT--(ISAIAH 66:15-17). ALSO NOTICE DEUT.14:4 "SHALT NOT EAT ANY ABOMINABLE THING" AND REV.21:8 "...THE ABOMINABLE SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH."

No i don't eat lobster b/c its unclean to me. God laid out food we can eat and can't eat. Why do think we can do what ever we want. If we disregard the old Testament, that is basically over 60% of the bible and the New Testament refer back to the Old Testament.
Basically Lobster, shimp, pork, etc, they help clean the earth. There scavengers. Its not healthy to eat in the first place that's why Americans our over weight and have high blood pressure. If we just eat the food we are suppose to, we will be healthier than we are now.
If u eat that, u might as well eat a rat b/c rats do the same thing a pig do or what a lobster does under the sea (eat anything they can see).
Food is a big deal, it all started in the garden of Eden when Eve ate the fruit. God curse mankind b/c of that.

OK, so if I understand this right, if it doesn't have fins and scales, it is an abomination to eat it.
So being gay is an abomination, and eating shellfish (which has no fins or scales) is an abomination...so even if you're not gay, if you eat lobster, you have a problem, ha ha ha.

The New Testament has verses that do away with such dietary restrictions.
But the New Testament doesn't have anything that renders obsolete the Old Testament's prohibition on homosexuality. In fact, the NT backs up and reaffirms the OT on that subject.
Just in case you were implying that since eating lobster is now OK, it must also be OK to engage in homosexuality. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Yes, because the Old Testament doesn't count for anything. Neither does the New Testament.
God doesn't exist.
The old rules for what to eat have been vastly updated since Biblical times.

it's kind of a bummer, for you to search out the Word of God, not knowing what you're talking about. That was for the Jews, Paul came and said anything that was made from Godis now good. Stop reading the WOrd without the Holy Spirit, it really makes a difference.
