Hi there, eariler on today a Muslim friend of mine showed me some bible verses that claims that pork is unclean and thus we should avoid consuming it, so I'm really puzzled right now on weather it is alrite for me as a Christian to continue consuming pork and what did God really said about eating pork and can Jewish eat pork as well?? If not why??
You friend is right about pork. Too bad he doesn't follow the rest of what Moses, from the Creator said, for ex. about keeping the true Saturday Sabbath. Maybe he will some day.
If you will read Acts 15 you will see Paul upholding the no blood restrictions of Mosaic food law for nonJewish converts. For ex. strangled animals were forbidden because the blood had not been drained from the throat. In Acts 21 you will see that Paul has been falsely accused (as today) of abandoning the Law of Moses (see KJV as some new versions omit the word "Moses) and he goes out of his way to demonstrate that he does follow the Law.
Also, back to Acts 15 he gives just a few rules for these new non Jewish converts, but he is shown as assuming they will be learning "the rest of the story" in the Synagogues on the Sabbath. All of his actions are approved by the Jerusalem Council in Acts 21.
Some people are catching on that there are lots of traditions of men in the Christian Church. They get it that our Savior was highly unlikely to have been born in December. (No way Caesar would have made people take a trek for a census in the dead of winter, the shepherds kept their flocks in shelters in the winter, based on the birth of St. John the Baptist & visit by Mary to Elizabeth it seems He was born in the fall, etc.). They are getting it that Easter never really falls on the true Resurrection Day thanks to the RCC and is basically a pagan holiday, complete with the bunnies and eggs associated with the goddess for whom it is named.
But if you try to tell them that a Sunday Sabath is also pagan, or that eating pork etc. is pagan, they balk big time.
They keep quoting Paul...Paul....Paul. That is, certain parts of Paul only. They never quote the Father or the Son to show that the Sabbath or food laws have been changed. You can't get them to even discuss what they said since THEY upheld the Law every time. (So did Paul - but as it shows in Acts 21, and as Scriptures show elsewhere, he got misunderstood a lot.)
So, really you are asking for a lot more than you thought when you asked that Q.
