before the flood they never ate meat. They were all vegetarians and lived hundred of years old. Methuselah liver for like 900 years. Then after the flood they began eating meat and they life span was shortened. The bible says eating unclean meat is an abomination to God. its like a dad telling his kids dont go eat from the trash can but for his grandson its ok to eat from the trash can. why would it change if its an abomination to god.

The dietary laws are still in effect...clean and unclean...Jewish , vegetarian, 7th Day Adventist....
Jesus DID NOT change the dietary laws....read your Bible closer....he is referring to the Jew's and gentiles regarding each other as unclean....
Where are people getting this weird idea that the dietary laws are of no importance today?? Look at the health issues!! the diseases!!
That has got to be one of the biggest deceptions that Satan is pulling over......
If it crawls across your plate eat it!!
why would the unclean animals of the old testament be fit to eat in the new testament??? A pig, vulture,bat, squirrel, crab, clam, lobster, cat, dog, rat is still unclean and with the trash today even dirtier than it was before!!!
In heaven there is no death...no meat...we are created vegetarian and will be vegetarian in heaven.....

Only Jews are obligated to keep the "Kosher" laws. Therefore, only in their spiritual make-up is there a relevance of meat being pure or impure. All observant Jews keep those rules.
Before the flood, simply speaking, no meat was allowed to be eaten by anyone. For some reason, after the flood G-d allowed it (as long as one didn't tear flesh off of a living animal).

We are no longer under the mosaic law or the law of the old testament it says in Galatians 3:24-25 "The law, then, was our gaurdian until Christ, so that we could be justified by faith. But since that faith has come,we are no longer under a gaurdian." and in Gal 3:19 it says "Why the law then? It was added because of the transgressions until the seed to whom the promise was made would come." The only thing it says on the matter of food in the new testament prohibiting anything is in Acts 15: 29 "That you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating anything that has been strangled"

Since Jesus expressly declared that, under the New Testament, all food were clean, then I guess that all Christians do !
Mark 7:17-23
Acts 10:9-16 & 11:1-18
Romans 14:1-8

God appeared to Peter in a vision and showed him that Gentiles were accepted into the kingdom. At the same time He said it was O.K. to eat any food that He had made and that no one should call anything He has made unclean. Therefore, if you stick by the old food laws you are disobeying God.

1Co 10:25 Eat everything being sold in a meat market, examining nothing because of conscience,
1Co 10:26 for "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it." Psa. 24:1
1Co 10:27 And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and you desire to go, eat everything set before you, examining nothing because of conscience.
1Co 10:28 But if anyone tells you, This is slain in sacrifice to idols, do not eat, because of that one pointing it out, and the conscience; for "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it." Psa. 24:1
1Co 10:29 But I say conscience, not that of himself, but that of the other. For why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?
1Co 10:30 But if I partake by grace, why am I evil spoken of because of that for which I give thanks?
1Co 10:31 Then whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all things to the glory of God.
The New Covenant Church lives under grace, not law.

Kosher keeping Jews, I would imagine?
Certainly not all those legions of Christians who've never read the Hebrew Bible but still claim that they follow everything that's in there.

Somewhere in the book of Mark- I'm pretty sure Jesus says that any food is fine. The rules thoughout the Bible change. I have heard of that, but don't know where it says anything about it.

Considering that those laws were given to the nation of Israel? Just the Jews.

My guess would be those Jewish people who still continue to follow the old covenant.
