What are the EOs view on eating pork?

[LittleLambofJesus]

Hello.
There was a rather heated thread on the GT board concerning whether eating pork is a "sin" or against the Mosaic food laws.

What are the EOs view concerning eating pork and how many here refrain from eating it strictly for health issues.
I guess my main question is, do the EOs have anything in their beliefs or rules that prohibit the eating of pork by EO Church members?. Thanks you

I believe only on certain days as with other meats, dairy, wine, and oil. As one friends says, "we're vegetarian approximately half the year."

My priest is coming over for dinner tonight. I am serving pork.

Mosaic food laws?
Near as I can tell, they weren't followed in Christianity, until the Messianic churches started , somewhere in the 19th century

Well, it's not against any laws to eat it... you'd probably be disobeying the instructions of your spiritual father at certain parts of the year, though, which would probably qualify as sinning through disobedience. That's not the same thing as disobeying dietary laws, though.

The Messianics must be right then. I mean, the 19th century? That's like, totally ancient, dude!

If God hadn't intended man to eat pork, bacon would taste like boiled cabbage!

My wife fixed pork "sloppy joes" for the Agape meal after liturgy today. Mmm! And we have a little left over - would you like to drop by?

I think my family cooks pork more than any other meat besides chicken. Yummy, yummy, God was especially kind when he made that delicious animal.
