Bible Question:
in the old testament Isaiah 66: 15-17 it mentions not to eat pork. Am I reading this correctly that if we eat pork we will be consumed by fire? Meaning eternal death. Am I incorrect in my interpretation that in the new testament that it was ok? or if i partake that I will burn in hell? |
Bible Answer: Dear docandlinda, My simple answer : No, you will not go to hell by eating pork. Matthew 15:11 "It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man." Read the context from verse 1-11 of the above passage and you will find that they are much in pararllel to Isa 66:15-17 (I think you should inlude v18 as well). Meanwhile, the below commentary by Matthew Henry should be helpful for your understand. "v. 17. Perhaps some of those who returned out of Babylon retained such instances of idolatry and superstition as are here mentioned, had their idols in their gardens (not daring to set them up publicly in the high places) and there purified themselves (as the worshippers of the true God used to do) when they went about their idolatrous rites, one after another, or, as we read it, behind one tree in the midst, behind Ahad or Ehad, some idol that they worshipped by that name and in honour of which they ate swine's flesh (which was expressly forbidden by the law of God), and other abominations, as the mouse, or some other like animal. But the prophecy may refer to all those judgments which the wrath of God, according to the word of God, will bring upon provoking sinners, that live in contempt of God and are devoted to the world and the flesh: They shall be consumed together." --- Matthew Henry You may also go to http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/isaiah/mh/isaiah66.htm for details and other commentaries.
