Bible Question:
is it a sin to ear pork |
Bible Answer: In the Old Testament it was forbidden to eat animals unless they 'parted the hoof and chewed the cud'. Only animals within that description could be guaranteed to both eat wholesome food and graze in healthy areas. Other animals ate food from places were death was common, or went to places where death prevailed. It was an object lesson to Israel about healthy and wholesome living, and the necessity of avoiding places of death. It undoubtdly saved them from many health problems, especially while they were in the wilderness. But once Jesus came, the epitome of holy living, the object lesson became unnecessary, and He declared all foods clean. As with all the other ordinances it was fulfilled in Jesus. |
