Just another good reason not to eat pork products.

If pork is targeted, it begs the question:
Who eats pork and who DOESN’T eat pork?
Well, if you are calling yourself a Christian, you should not be eating pork anyway. I gave it up a few months ago. It has been hard to say the least. I miss bacon! 
Why Pork? I am not understanding the reference with Christianity and not eating pork. Please explain.
Who Jizzard? That is an oxymoron don’t ya think? I mean he does lie like a rug, so whatever definition its a weird one.
Actually, the Old Testament forbids eating of pork and shell fish. It’s in Deuteronomy somewhere.
The animal you’re allowed to eat must chew the cud and have cloven hooves. Pigs may have cloven hooves but don’t chew the cud.
However, the Old (and New) Testaments say nothing about separation of meat and dairy products as practiced by religious Joos. (You can’t eat them together and wait a few hours)
This prohibition was invented by Pharisee elders (rabbis) after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.
Right but the New testament was a new covenant and thus those old ways were no longer observed, such as blood sacrifices.

Right, but that is the old covenant, which no longer is practiced. Remember Cain and Able? No blood sacrifices.
Yes, and Jesus also said he did not come to change one tittle of the law.
This is stuff that I personally struggle with. I am by no means a Bible scholar. I don’t understand much of it. I figure if God said it, He meant it. Like all (most) Christians, I struggle and sin every day. I have researched the clean and unclean food topic. There seems to be two views on it; one being what said.
What type of Christianity do you subscribe to? Or what Denomination?
For example, evangelicals (Most common) practice the belief that when Jesus died on the cross, the blood of Christ was the last of blood sacrifices and that the old ways of Abraham was the old covenant.
I have been an Episcopalian my whole life. I know what is practiced, but I decided to take my own journey and see what conclusions / beliefs I actually have. There seems to be a divide between what God said and what men want to believe as the truth. I’m not saying I have the answer… I don’t. I just struggle with what certain things.
Example: the Sabbath day is Saturday, not Sunday. it was changed to Sunday in the 4th century… by men, not God.
But do you know the difference between Gentiles and Joos? Joos practice the sabbath on Saturdays, God of Abraham, and the Gentiles practice it on Sunday’s which is symbolic of when Jesus rose from the dead, new testament. (Greek)
Joos don’t believe in Jesus.
Of course they believe in Jesus, They just don’t believe he was / is the Messiah. The Sabbath is the
last day of the week, which is Saturday… which is the Sabbath. The order of the days of the week were not changed in the Bible. These things are of man’s doing, not God.
No they don’t. They don’t believe in the New Testament, and that is my point. The Sabbath is of the Old Testament, God of Abraham belief. Every aspect of the Bible is of mans doing. Man wrote the bible inspired by God.

Some dietary laws based on the Old Testament laws seem to make sense, as poorly cooked pork is conducive to parasitic infections.
Also certain passages about leprosy are pertinent to its prevention, albeit being very discriminatory. Patients of viral diseases are separated and quarantined today as well to prevent infection.
Prophet Jeremiah warned of blind belief in the written form of the Pentateuch (first five books of the Old Testament) as the texts had been messed with for political reasons. “Lying pen of the scribe,” according to Jeremiah.
Recent archaeological discoveries in Palestine indicate that Yahweh had a wife (female consort).
That certainly defeats the traditional image of the God of Israel.
This could easily be construed as Mary Magdalene
Early Christian documents found at Nag Hammadi indicate Jesus and Mary (Magdalene) were married.
The Bible scholar Dr Barbara Thiering said the same.
