i thought that god said to man in the OT that to man he give all the fruits and animals of the earth bar the one tree. why is pork unclean in the first place? i eat pork and i dont have any health problems... are you sure the bible isnt being mis-interpreted on this one? |

Well, I don't know all the ins and outs of it, but in the beginning (in Gen), it actually says that it was plants and fruit that all the animals and humans were to eat...eating meat, if I remember correctly, came in after the flood...whether you take that literally or no, is up to you.
Pork being unclean may very well be, as a poster above stated, that pork (not cooked properly) can cause illness. Also, (I suppose), these countries were hot...I should think meat could go off quickly...maybe that would foster whatever it is in pork that's bad, to multiply more quickly, so be more risky..but as I say I'm not well up on this.

No, no misinterpretation. Just as you would not eat all plants, we are not to eat all animals. All animals were not given for food. The scripture clearly states that pigs are not food, nor are sharks, squid, crows, skunks, porcupines, cats, dogs, octopus, snakes, and more.

Exactly.

I have eaten pork all of my life, along with other critters. Others may have reasons, religous or otherwise, from not eating certain things and I will not judge them for it. Nor do I find it in scripture where others should judge me for my eating choices. |

Pretty much everyone has covered the general issues, basically, eat a lot of wild pig, you are going to get sick. Health issues from pig are not the same today.
Now to back pedal a bit. All of Leviticus was not just a bunch of laws for the sake of it.
The Israelites had just come out of 400 years of slavery where all they did was make bricks all day every day. They had no economy, no authority, no culture, no laws. Gods plan was to set his chosen people on a path to receive the Messiah as the redemption for sin.
But if he sent Jesus out to Israelites in the desert, they would not have accepted him. They were not ready, this is going to take a long time.
God delivered to them hundreds of laws and statutes, lots of them seeming trivial, silly, or even cruel to us. However many of these had the purpose to establish a mindset in the Israelites, so that eventually they would recognise Jesus and receive his salvation.
The main thing that God needed Israelites to know, is that "redemption is only possible through the sacrifice of innocent blood" They were sacrificing lambs, they didnt know it, but their minds were being prepared minds to accept the sacrifice of Jesus.
What Jesus means when he says he has come to "fulfill the Law and the Prophets ( that means Old Testament scriptures), which he did on the cross. "It is finished"
We no longer have to serve under Leviticus, because Gods purpose for that is complete.

Jews and Gentiles will look at the Scriptures differently concerning foods I would think.......
Romans 14:14 I have known and am persuaded in Lord Jesus that nothing unclean thru himself, except to the one accounting any being-unclean/koinon <2839> to be, to that one being-unclean/koinon <2839>. [Genesis 9:33]
Romans 14:20 No account of food be throwing down! the work of the God.
All indeed pure/kaqara <2513>, but evil to the man the one thru stumbling eating.
