When you think about Christianity is Jewish faith and early followers and founders were Jews.
I just think it funny how ham is popular option on such Jewish holy day.
I know Jesús said in Matthew it not what you eat that make you unclean, but how act and behave.
But, it did say Jesús stop being kosher.
Now Peter was eating kosher and God/Jesús Send peter straight in version.
Yet it seem Paul acted like a Jew and stay in the Jewish communities he travel. What do other think ?
Ah, gotcha. I didn't catch your hint that we Aussies weren't unique. It's been a long day.No, but my point is, we can blame the British for eating them all!

Anglos and Germans like ham
So ham is a main dish at major celebrations
As a Christian I don't celebrate Passover. I celebrate Easter. Easter is NOT a Jewish Holy Day nor am I Jewish. So why wouldn't I eat pork.I just think it funny how ham is popular option on such Jewish holy day.

I'm curious, why would you link Passover and easter together as if they were one and than call it a Jewish Holy day? Jews don't celebrate Easter.

A Christian is a follower of Christ and the example that he set for his followers to follow involved celebrating Passover and refraining from eating unclean animals, and we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and to walk in the same way that he walked (1 John 2:3-6). In Leviticus 11:44-45 and 1 Peter 1:13-16, it does not say to have a holy conduct in order to act like a Jew, but to to have a holy conduct for God is holy, so refraining from eating unclean animals is part of God's instructions for how to act according to His holiness. In fact, all of God's laws are instructions for how to act according to his attributes, his holiness, righteousness, goodness (Romans 7:12), justice, mercy, faithfulness (Matthew 23:23), and other fruits of the Spirit (Exodus 34:6-7), so the Law teaches us how to reflect God's attributes to the world.
The role of the Jews is to be a light to the nations, to draw them to God, to teach them how to serve Him, and to teach them how walk in His ways (Deuteronomy 4:5-6, Isaiah 2:2-3, Isaiah 49:6). So while I completely agree that the Law was only given to the Jews, it was never meant only for the Jews, but for all who would be followers of God and who would seek grace through to learn how to walk in His ways. You are a follower of a Jewish Messiah and the Bible does not say that only Jews should follow him, but Gentiles too. The Gospel went out to the Jews first and then to the nations so that they could fulfill this God-given role.
When you celebrate Easter instead of Passover, you are guilty of falling under the same criticism that Jesus had for the Pharisees in Mark 7:6-9 of setting aside the commands of God in order to establish your own tradition. Why would you eat something that your God said is an abomination? Do you not think it is important to learn to walk in God's ways?

Look you are so wrong and you are going against what CHrist went to so much trouble to achieve.

It is only a shadow of good things to come and will never make someone perfect. (Hebrews 10:1)
Old Testament law keepers are putting themselves under the curse of the law why are you encouraging others to do that?
I think Israel got into serious trouble when they used to sneak out behind trees/idols and eat rats, opposed to YHWH'S Word.When you think about Christianity is Jewish faith and early followers and founders were Jews. I just think it funny how ham is popular option on such Jewish holy day. I know Jesús said in Matthew it not what you eat that make you unclean, but how act and behave. But, it did say Jesús stop being kosher. Now Peter was eating kosher and God/Jesús Send peter straight in version. Yet it seem Paul acted like a Jew and stay in the Jewish communities he travel.

So ? YHWH'S WORD is ETERNAL. PSALMS as well as TORAH. PSALMS was not part of Old Testament Law, by most definitions.Wow that is before the cross. It's part of the OT law.
LOL
Gentile celebrations.Anglos and Germans like ham

And PSALMS foretold JESUS over and over, as did TORAH, and the PROPHETS.
I agree that we are not under the law, but it is important to correctly identify which law we are not under.
