I see, so if our govenment said is was alright to murder then we would ignore the tenents of those expunged laws? I don’t think so. Your logic makes no sense. Just because we are no longer bound by those “dietary” laws, does that make them any less relevant? Should we throw caution to the winds and ignore the possibilities that GOD was right after all? Please, think what you say before saying what you say. Paul also exorts us to be wise in what we do. Do you think it wise just to ignore centuries of God given wisdom through preceived human thought? Yes, we are no longer “bound” by dietary laws. But we do need to be aware of the dangers of ignoring the wisdom God.
It makes perfect sense actually since the question at hand is whether are HAVE TO keep these dietary laws. The clear answer is NO.
If he tells us that we are free from that law, was he being unwise? We are in the covenant of grace, not of the law that was there to show us what we are: sinners.

Paul preached it clearly, Paul has authority from God. Either you gather with the Church or you scatter: very simple.

If you want to keep one commandment, you ought to keep all 613. Enjoy in doing so if you wish. Noone stops you from doing it, but we Christians are not required to do so.
Therefore, the whole bickering about “can we eat this or not” is useless.

As I am not a Jew either, I could care less about pork. And if you say it’s about hygiene, etc. Did not the Apostles eat without washing their hands as was Jewish custom? Did Jesus condemn them? No.

If you wanna be all self-righteous, go ahead, but you are NO authority to me or any Christian. That authority belongs to the Church through guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Did I not agree that we were no longer bound by the dietary laws or have you read the whole of this thread? Did I not also state that scientific evidence supports the abstainance (sic) of certain types of “foods”? It is the Scriptures that first revealed these facts and science later confirmed them. I am just pointing out the wisdom of God. Do you deny that wisdom?
If he tells us that we are free from that law, was he being unwise? We are in the covenant of grace, not of the law that was there to show us what we are: sinners.
Are we free from the law or are we free from the consequences of breaking the law? Two completely different things. Are we to sin, transgress the Law, so that Grace may abound? Paul tells us “God forbid”. So does being under grace give us permission to ignore the law?
Paul preached it clearly, Paul has authority from God. Either you gather with the Church or you scatter: very simple.
Actually, Peter tells us that Paul’s preaching was often misunderstood and twisted by others to their own desires. Are you one of them?
If you want to keep one commandment, you ought to keep all 613. Enjoy in doing so if you wish. Noone stops you from doing it, but we Christians are not required to do so.

Tell me, are you including the Decologue in that numbered 613? If you are then your understanding of God’s Moral Laws and the Laws of Moses is lacking.

The question is not “can we eat this or not” but “should we eat this or not?” As I said before, eat what you will, but remember, there may be adverse consequences when eating something that is in doubt.
As I am not a Jew either, I could care less about pork. And if you say it’s about hygiene, etc. Did not the Apostles eat without washing their hands as was Jewish custom? Did Jesus condemn them? No.
Noah wasn’t a Jew either, yet the concept of Clean and Unclean was known to him.

How often did the Apostles eat without washing their hands? We only see one instance of this. Are we to assume that this one instance constitutes their daily custom? Do you have children? Do you permit them not to wash their hands before eating? How about after performing a bodily function? I doubt that you do not wash your hands after doing so. If you do than remind me not to eat anything you’ve prepared. We all know that science has shown that dangerous bacteria can be transferred to our food if we fail to wash after going to the bathroom. And check it out, God gave the directive to Moses that they were to do so also. So why did Jesus rebuke the Preists of his day concerning this. Because they were making it a requirement to salvation and that wasn’t what God intended.
If you wanna be all self-righteous, go ahead, but you are NO authority to me or any Christian. That authority belongs to the Church through guidance of the Holy Spirit.
😉
I have no righteousness save through the saving Grace of Christ by the blood he shed for me on the Cross. Nor do I claim any authority save that which is written in the Scirptures. All authority belongs to CHRIST and he gives us guidance through the Holy Spirit. To claim the authority of Christ is to usurp Christ, thus making oneself an Antichrist.
 
I believe Jesus said its not what man puts in his mouth that offends him but what comes out of his mouth. (I’m paraphrasing here)
 
Bear in mind, and ask a Rabbi, why the food laws exist… it’s out of obedience to God… not science. Period. Contemporary Jews observe many of the Old Testament laws (there are 613 of them!) but the degree depends on which branch-- Orthodox Judaism, Reform Judaism, Conservative Judaism, et cetera. Many Christians emphasize the 10 Commandments and set them apart from the other 603. Jesus and the Holy Apostles set these apart as well in their teachings throughout the New Testament. Some christian denominations choose to keep some of the laws as well… but I’ve often found that the laws that they chose to keep are done so more out of patriarchy or some sort of control mechanism than out of obedience directed toward God.

jewfaq.org/613.htm

Take a look at this list. How many of these do you observe? And what makes you think that Pork and the Sabbath are more important than # 131 and #164? Do you enjoy Cheeseburgers? Better think twice next time you visit McD’s 😉

Now I pose the question to you… were the Jews obligated to obey all of the law, or just pick some off the list-- such as, for instance, the Sabbath (i.e. Sabbath Keepers)-- and then place a whole denominational theology around it.

I still pose the question to all those who chose to abstain from pork… do you abstain from all pig products? Jello contains some, as well as hot dogs, anything cooked in lard, bacon, sausage… very observant Jews won’t even eat at restaurants that serve pork… if you buy eggs that were just cooked on a griddle that pork was previously fried on, are you not consuming minute amounts of pork as well?

I think you need to bear in mind why God gave the food laws in the first place. By your reasonning it would be out of the want of God to be a control freak. I don’t think so. God knew, for God is the creator, why he had designed certain creatures for certain functions and he also knew that these functions would contaminate the flesh of these creatures. If humans were to eat these creatures than then these contaminants would be passed on to them. I would also remind you that God did not give man permission to eat flesh food until AFTER the flood. The initial food of man was fruit, after Adam and Eve sinned they were given vegetables to eat to supplement their diet because the Garden, which held all they needed to survive and live forever, was now closed to them. It was for man’s on good that God designated Clean from Unclean and forbid the eating of the Unclean. The purpose of these creatures has not changed, nor their contaminated flesh.

Again, your failure to seperate out the Laws of God from the Ordenances (sic) of Moses show a lack of knowledge concerning the relationship of each to the Isrealites.

Pork is under the ordenances and the Sabbath is under the Law. As to your comments concerning Cheeseburgers, I don’t endulge. Nor do I go to McD’s.
Now I pose the question to you… were the Jews obligated to obey all of the law, or just pick some off the list-- such as, for instance, the Sabbath (i.e. Sabbath Keepers)-- and then place a whole denominational theology around it.
Actually, you misrepresent what you don’t understand. Had you studied all of what is believed by any particular faith you would realize to stigmatized one portion of that faith is to create prejugdice. It would be like me saying that your religion is based solely on Marion Adoration, which I know not to be the case as there are many aspects to the RCC that make up the RCC. If you want to understand a religious view than I suggest you make a complete study of the views before making unfounded accusations.

For me personally, and emphatic YES
 
For me personally, and emphatic YES
So you never eat food that your non-kosher-keeping friends have cooked then, even if it’s vegetarian food (their pots would be contaminated with pork by-products)? And you don’t eat off their plates or use their cutlery (similarly contaminated)?

What IS the point of the distinction you’re drawing between ‘Law’ and ‘Ordinances’? Are you saying that there are some of the 613 rules that DON’T apply to you? Why not? What was the purpose of those of the 613 that you don’t follow? And where specifically is each of the ones that you don’t follow done away with in the NT?

This might be a problem if cooking and eating utinsels were never cleaned. However, I don’t know of anybody that does not clean these after using them and unless these are of porus materials all contaminates are removed when cleaned. As to my “non-kosher” friends, I have none. All my friends are of the same opinion as myself so there is no problem. Also I would remind you of what Paul said when he spoke of not asking from wince the food comes when you are eating amoung a gathering where food is served. If I know that there are things on a menu or in a “pot luck” that I would normally abstain from then I do so. Often I will ask. For example, I don’t eat chocolate anymore either, believe me this is a big sacrifice for me, I’m a big chocoholic, so when I go to a pot luck and see items that look as if there is chocolate in them I ask, hoping that they are made of carob, if it has chocolate in it, with great resistance, I pass it by. We are not to give offense when offered food, however, those that we associate with should also be aware of our habits concerning these things so as not to offend as well.

The Laws of God, the Decalogue, is eternal, it was from the beginning and will continue into the New Heaven and New Earth.
It is these laws which we will be judged on the last days. It is by the Grace of God, through Jesus Christ, that we are protected from consequences of breaking these laws.

The Ordinances of Moses were temporary, it was these that were nailed to the cross. Saying that however, I believe that many of these are sound policies to keep, especially where it relates to health. Science has shown that they are valid, even in our day. You all are assuming that I am keeping these out of religious reasoning. Not so. I just find that because science shows these to be valid and past studies and experiences by millions of people confirm the validity of following these “rules”, which are more or less guidelines now, it is purdent to also follow these guidelines in an effort to maintain the body that God gave me to his glory.

Will you take the word of someone who has specific interest in the health impacts of kosher laws?

findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FKA/is_9_64/ai_90465231

“Elliot Berry, director of the Department of Human Metabolism and Nutrition at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, in Jerusalem, says he knows of no studies linking a kosher diet with improved health.”

NO studies. Not one skerrick of scientifically valid evidence that kosher laws are in any way related to health. And he’s nonetheless an advocate of keeping kosher - if there were any validity to the idea that eating kosher improved your health he’d be trumpeting it from the rooftops!

NIce pick a little piece out a big article about a particular diet. Again, you ASSUME, that I eat KOSHER. Where in here have I stated I eat KOSHER. Just because I abstain from certain types of foods does not equate to KOSHER. I am a very very poor person, heck, I can’t even afford to buy my own internet connection, I have to use the one from work or go to the library. If I can’t afford this small luxury how am I to afford eating KOSHER. But to your article.
It’s true that many of the practices associated with following Jewish dietary laws–like hand washing before meals, thorough washing of fruits and vegetables and careful inspection of slaughtered meat–promote health, Engelmayer says. But the fact that a dish is prepared in accordance with those laws does not in itself make it healthful. After all, a cholesterol bomb of a cheesecake or a ***fat-laden mutton stew ***can be kosher.
  1. Eating Kosher promotes health

    Can it therefore be assumed that a diet similar to a Kosher diet would also promote health?
  2. Cheesecake

    I DON’T EAT IT
  3. Fat-laden Mutton stew.

    I DON’T EAT IT
What I do eat.

Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, Legumes

There is all the nutrition in these items necessary to maintain a healthy body; mind and soul.
 
  1. Eating Kosher promotes health
Wrong wrong wrong. Way to misread an article. What it ACTUALLY says is that basic sanitary practices like washing your hands (duh) and carefully inspecting meat (note well, the benefit comes from carefully INSPECTING the meat, NOT abstaining entirely from it) do aid health, yes.

And specifically there are no health benefits noted from the restricted diet that kosher laws require. By logical deduction, it means that neither is there any health benefit from any OTHER restrictive diet which cuts out whole classes of food - including the one you follow.
 
Here are just a few articles on vegetarianism.

And now, back to the pig
A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.
The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.
When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time.
Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.
Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons.
Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom.
When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal’s flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.
Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts,and eggs will be killed.
Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.
Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine’s one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh.
The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. This is why God commanded that we are not even to touch their carcase (Leviticus 11:8).
The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism.
The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.
there is no federal pork inspection program for trichinellosis
If there is no inspection for this how do you know that the pork you are eating is safe to eat? Remember, with all the garbage in the meat no temperature is considered a safe cooking temperature, unless you cook it to ash.

See article

avma.org/reference/zoonosis/zntrichi.asp

Additionally:

Although state regulations did not prevent him from marketing the rest of his hogs however he wanted, the farmer voluntarily agreed to sell his hogs to a facility where they would be made into ready-to-eat products, because the processing involved would kill any trichinellae present.

How many private pig farmers out there are doing this without knowing what the consequences are?

Jews drew no such distinction. They were one and the same. You and I can draw the distinction today thanks to the New Testament.

I made a study of Judaism for over a year… and under a Rabbi, no less. I have a deep respect for their faith and their views… even those that differ from my own. As far as the Sabbath Keepers Church… I have friends who belong. The emphasis on the Sabbath is something I disagree with, but I appreciate the devotion that it invokes. It is, after all, one of the Commandments… whether it is observed on Saturday or on Sunday is irrelevant to me.

You are correct, Isreal did not make a distinction, however, when we study the word we find that GOD did, his laws were written by him, on stone, and might I add there is a theory that in Judaism (purhaps you’ve heard of it) wherein the original tablets were actually made from the God’s own throne. These were placed INSIDE the Ark of the Covenant, whereas the Ordinances were, though dictated by God, written in Moses’s hand and place in a pocket outside the Ark as a testemony against the Isrealites. Is there a symbolism here? I believe there is.
Point well taken.
Thank you, the statement wasn’t only meant for those of the RCC but of everyone who wishes to understand and debate properly.

I think one of the many misunderstandings as to why the Sabbath is observed the way it is is that many do not realize that it is more than just the Sabbath, it is the whole of the Decalogue. We are told that if we love the Lord we would Keep His Commandments. This is said in several places in the New testament. However, I would remind everyone that the first place this exortation is made is when the Decalogue was first given, I point you to the Commandment that starts, “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, nor bow down to them”, read the whole thing and you will see what I am talking about.
 
I’ve often come across people who like to abstain from pork or some other food product. They seem to do so because they have some desire to follow Old Testament food laws and such. First of all, there are over 600 different commandments in the Old Testament books, all of which any “dutiful” Jew at the time would have been obliged to follow. They didn’t have the luxury of choosing just one (in this case Pork) that they felt for some reason they were to follow. The other people who have posted here are correct and have excellent points about the biblical justifications for allowing the consumption of pork. Can I ask why you feel the need to exclude just pork? The Jews of the OT and of modern times abstain from much more than just pork… have you had shrimp lately? That was off the menu for devout Jews. How about non-kosher beef? Better start buying the Hebrew National hot dogs buddy. Get your meat from a Kosher butcher too… animals must be butchered in a certain way and under the observation of a Rabbi. Vegetables had to be washed to ensure that no insects were present, because insects were strictly forbidden. Cheeseburgers anyone? Nope! Devout Jews believe that mixing dairy and beef products is sinful and in violation of the food laws. There are also a host of other laws found in the Bible… from clothing, to livestock, to menstrual cycles… you name it, it’s there… and yes, Pork is one of the foods off of the menu for sure. Now, I’m not saying that all Jews today follow all of these restrictions, but some certainly do to varying degrees–especially the Orthodox. Now please don’t get me wrong… I am not here to poke fun at Jews and the food restrictions they follow. I do mean, however, to expose a rediculous notion that Christians can pick and choose some of these food restrictions for silly reasons. Jews don’t observe the foood laws to keep themselves free from parasites (although that certainly is an added benefit)… they do so out of obedience to God–and this is to be admired, not made fun of. I have the utmost respect for them. I feel passionate about this subject because of the experiences of my wife’s friend who was engaged to a man (non-catholic christian) who decided to pick and choose some food laws to follow. What this became was one of many vehicles to restrict and control his fiance’s life. That is all I have ever seen it used as amongst non-Jews and Christians. We simply don’t have the tradition that the Jews have with the laws to fully appreciate what they mean. Perhaps this is why is was de-emphasised in the New Testiment (such as the dream that was mentioned in the post above… as the bible says “what God has made clean, you are not to call Profane”. Re-read Acts Ch. 11.😉

usccb.org/nab/bible/acts/acts11.htm
Although Jesus needed to “break bread” with Gentiles, think that the laws that were given to Moses from God as described in Leviticus and Deuteronomy against eating swine, camels, coneys, hares, shell fish, eagles, ossifrages, osprays, vultures, kites, ravens, owls, hawks, cuckows, cormorants, swans, pelicans, storks, herons, bats, weasels, mice, tortoises, ferrets, chameleons, lizards, snails, moles, snakes, and any animal with a paw have Authority.

Not becoming infected with parasites was important but obviously not the entire issue, and I think Catholics who ignore Old Testament law wrongfully consider the teachings of Jesus repudiations.

The family that Jesus grew up in recognized the Authority of the Old Testament laws, and so did Jesus.

The Catholic Church’s view of the New Covenant ignores important Truths.

And Eating Pork on Christian holidays is more than just Wrong.

There is something dead & wrong with bringing up dead threads from 2 years ago…

why not start a new thread…??? and link this one to it…

and why not stop by the introduce yourself first…???

and why not post your religion in your profile… (if there is any)…?
 
Jesus didn’t ate pork because when He lived, He had not yet fulfilled what the Scriptures said, but when He died and resurrected, it was done. And then in the Acts of the Apostles, Peter has his vision…

God bless

🙂 jakasaki,

He/She is not the first one to bring up this dead thread, it seems this subject bother Muslims a lot (assuming he/she was a Muslim).

In my opinion, if this matter can be resolved between Islam and Christianity, then I think it would shorten the gaps between the two.
