Because I like bacon... It doesn't seem fair that God doesn't allow us to eat anything we want. What does that have to do with faith anyway?

Hello CoolDude68.
The way you behave towards other people reflects what you really believe to be true.
Whether you had bacon and eggs for breakfast last week is irrelevant.
Hello CoolDude68.What I believe to be true vs what is true is related to behavior towards others?

You can eat bacon in the NT which we live in. We are the acts period of time or the 6th dispensation of time. In fact iroincally IN i Believe 1 timothy I believe chapter 2 God speaks against those that command people to abstain from meats I can find the specific scripture if you want.
yep and the scripture I was gonna bring up was this one although you already presented some good ones.We know in Colossians 2:20-23 that Paul argued against those who were promoting human traditions and precepts, self-made religion, asceticism, and severity to the body, so in other words he was dealing with people who were teaching abstinence from eating meat that God said was good to eat in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14.

1 Timothy 4King James Version (KJV)
4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Swooon. A pork chop is especially good fried with some cream of mushroom soup poured over with a few spoonfuls of skim milk. Yum...I do enjoy bacon, but in moderation of course. Just like anything else. I don't care for pork chops though. Ham is good, especially sliced very thin at the deli.
In 1 Timothy 4:1-8, are the teachings that Paul described more consistent with the teachings of men or the godly, righteous, and good commands of God? Are those teaching obedience to what God commanded departing from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage? Are they teaching irreverent, silly myths? Are they teaching against training yourself for godliness? It seems clear to me that Paul was describing the teachings of men, so it doesn't make sense to grab one verse out of the middle as describing something that God commanded, especially given that we know that Paul was interacting with man-made teachings against eating what God said was good to eat and to be received with thanksgiving in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. God's Law is truth (Psalms 119:142), so those who know and believe the truth know that God's Word permits us to eat kosher meats, that we should not receive with thanksgiving that which God said was an abomination, and that unclean animals have not be sanctified by the Word of God.
