Answer 14

I was already looking up what prok meant;)

Nothing prevents a Christian from eating pork. Jesus abolished many things from the original commandments. This is what I believe in, I respect other religions' point of views.

Answer 15

My aunt's husband is Arabic and does not eat pork, for him it's خطيئة (sin)
Of course we respect his belief as he respects ours...and we all get along.

Answer 17

@hba that is not true. @Yahoo! I couldn't understand what he was saying:/
Maybe you should ask this question to Christians, because despite there being a wide variety of christian religions, I don't believe I've ever heard of pork being haraam for any of them. In Islam it is believed to be harraam, but a muslim cannot "prove" what a christian's belief is.
Also:
Mark 7:14-23: “Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, ‘Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him unclean by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean.’

Answer 18

Just wanted to point out that I wasn't being defensive there^ when I said "a muslim cannot "prove" what a christian's belief is". I was just saying that a Muslim believes strongly in his faith and it'd be difficult for them to explain a christian's faith without bias for their own beleifs.

Answer 19

Peace
Are u allowed to consume pork and alcohol in christianity? this is what he bible has to say:
Pork in Bible
"And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you".

"Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you."[Leviticus 11:7-8]

"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass."
[Deuteronomy 14:8]

"Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day."

jazy you gave me some verse Mark 7:14-23: “Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, ‘Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him unclean by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean.’ So the answer to this is ............ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpu3r5U_yX4

Answer 23

You have to follow christ not st.peters, You are christans who follow Jesuschrist not petarians who follow st.peters

Answer 24

@jazy

Even if you break one law or got or a tittle

Answer 26

Alcohol is not prohibited. The bible only advises to drink with moderation.
In John 2: 1-11 you'll see that Jesus himself converted water into wine.
@hba i don't understand what you mean?

Answer 27

We are talking about pork first

Answer 28

"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass."
[Deuteronomy 14:8]

Answer 29

In Mark 7:14-23: “Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, ‘Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him unclean by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean." this was talking about the effects of words that come out of our mouth.

Answer 39

^^ check this out :)

Answer 40

@Yahoo! I'm having trouble understanding him...I've gone over the video like 3 times but its confusing me.
Not necessarily... If we go word by word on the old testament, then an adulterous person would have to die because of their sin.
Jesus died for us, to clean us from the sin that our first fathers transmitted to us. He gave us the opportunity to repent for our sins.
Remember that he changed several things in the law... an example would be the holy Saturday, which is not a requisite.

*Sorry if I'm not making sense, I have trouble explaining myself in English on these topics.

Answer 43

Answer 44

Answer 45

lol....@jazy anyhow...nw it is proved that eating prok is harmful to health

Answer 46

Pork is regarded as one of the kinds of meat that contain the most cholesterol, an increase of which in the bloodstream leads to an increased likelihood of blocked arteries. The fatty acids in pork are also of an unusual formation, when compared with the fatty acids in other types of food, which makes them more easily absorbed by the body, thus increasing cholesterol levels.
Pork meat and pork fat contribute to the spread of cancers of the colon, rectum, prostate and blood.
Pork meat and pork fat contribute to obesity and related diseases that are difficult to treat.
Eating pork leads to scabies, allergies and stomach ulcers.
Eating pork causes lung infections which result from tapeworms, lungworms and microbial infections of the lungs.
The doctors have confirmed that the most serious danger of eating pork is that pork contains tapeworms. The growth of its eggs in the human body may lead to insanity and hysteria if they grow in the area of the brain. If they grow in the region of the heart, it may lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks. It may develop in the small intestine and after several months may grow into a large worm whose body is composed of a thousand segments, with a length of 4-10 meters, which lives alone in the intestine of the infected person and part of it may appear when he defecates.
When the pig swallows and ingests its eggs, they enter the tissues and muscles in the form of larvae sacs containing fluid and the head of the tapeworm.
When a person eats infected pork, the larva turns into a complete worm in the intestine. These worms cause weakness and vitamin B12 deficiency, which leads to a specific type of anemia, which may in turn cause nervous problems. In some cases the larvae may reach the brain, causing convulsions, increased pressure within the brain, epilepsy and even paralysis.
Another kind of worm that is to be found in pork is the trichinosis (infestation with a hair-like nematode worm) that cannot be killed by cooking, the growth of which in the body may lead to paralysis and skin rashes. When these parasites reach the small intestine, three to five days later many larvae appear which enter the intestine and reach the blood, from which they reach most of the tissues of the body.
The larvae move to the muscles and form cysts there, and the patient suffers intense muscle pains. The disease may develop into infection of the cerebral membrane and brain, and infections of the heart muscle, lungs, kidneys and nerves. It may be a fatal disease in rare cases.
It is well known that there are some diseases that are unique to humans and are not shared with any other animals except pigs, such as rheumatism and joint pain.

Answer 48

@jazy Do u know what a red letter bible is ?

Answer 49

It is not prohibited hba. Are you a Christian?
There are a lot of different beliefs even in the "christian" religions. I personally don't believe in Trinity or the cross as they are both a result of humans misunderstanding of god's word.
And no hba I don't know what a red letter bible is, though I have heard of it.

Answer 50

*Once again this is my belief.

Answer 51

Do u believe in gospel of Mathew 5:17-20 ? Then pork is prohibited

Answer 52

@jazy ...if it is prohibited..to.. Science tells that prok.. is harmful to health.....wat do u say

Answer 53

Go buy a red letter bible ,the christian scholars say the words with the red ink is the words of jesus christ

Answer 54

Will....a God...Command his followers to eat which is harm to them..))

Answer 55

You have to follow Jesus Christ not St.peters :)

Answer 56

@hba open up to the rest of the bible, don't get stuck in Mathew 5: 17-20. Look at the context and other bible texts, then talk. Why a red letter bible? Both the old and new testament are vital and important. The new testament includes Jesus' words.

@Yahoo! Pork does affect some people, but it doesn't mean its a venom if you eat it every once in a while. A friend of ours(hes christian) does not eat pork because of his health, but he respects others who do. Vegetarians believe any meat is bad for their health and only eat veggies, so if some people believe pork is bad, does that condemn all of use to do the same?

Answer 57

@jazy many ppl knw that Smoking Kills then too they r doing....My question....is that eating pigs is harm to health...and Jesus Banned..it... http://www.draxe.com/why-you-should-avoid-pork/

Answer 58

Jesus respected gods word in the old testament, and that was what he was pointing out in Mathew. However, he still changed many of the beliefs.

Answer 59

@jazy so ur saying Mathew 5: 17-20 is wrong

Answer 60

Nauzibillah

Answer 61

No I'm saying you are wrong in your interpretation of Jesus' words.

Answer 62

Whats Nauzibillah ?

Answer 63

I am not wrong interprating what do u interprate from that verses

Answer 64

Are you Christian?

Answer 65

I am a student of comparative religions and converted Muslim

Answer 66

Then you have no reason to be saying what a christian does or doesn't believe as if you were one.

Answer 67

@jazy I know more than you know about ur religion i am here to correct you

Answer 68

@jazy You cant say wrong about ur religion and say who are you to say about the religion

Answer 69

@jazy There is not a single verse in the bible in which jesus says he is God :)

Answer 70

Is pork allowed in Christiany?
Yes it is allowed in Christianity, not in Islam.

As far as if it SHOULD be allowed, I believe it is, others disagree. However Christian religion in general does not ban it. @hba I agree completely: There is not a single verse in the bible in which jesus says he is God :)

Answer 71

@jazy Pork is not allowed in christanity

Answer 72

What do u interprate from Mathew 5: 17-20

Answer 73

Tell me :)

Answer 74

Christian religion does not ban pork. Christian religion bans homosexuals yet look how many priests you see running a catholic church nowadays and how gay couples are free to marry in church. I'm not catholic, I'm JW.
If YOU believe it should be banned in Christianity then I respect your opinion + faith, yet it isn't.

Answer 75

**correction, the bible is against homosexuals.

Answer 76

Listen @jazy Mathew 5: 17-20 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil'For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven"

Answer 77

See its written whoever shall break a single law shall not enter heaven

Answer 78

So how can u say pork is allowed when it is not allowed

Answer 79

Red letter Is the main thing dont go for the black words

Answer 80

Once again If YOU believe it should be banned in Christianity then I respect your opinion + faith. Heaven & hell are figures of speech. I haven't heard of the Catholic church banning pork, or the Baptists, or JW's...have you?

Answer 81

I believe this because it is said by Jesus christ :) Pork is not allowed

Answer 82

No one can overrule the saying of Jesus christ not even St.peters , If he saw a dream pork should be allowed that what i am trying to say

Answer 83

Jesus never said PORK was not allowed in that text. And that is your choice. The question was asking if pork was banned in christian religions, and it is not.

Answer 84

Was it allowed before ?

Answer 85

Pork has never been banned in the christian religions. I've gtg now. I'll come back to this discussion next time. :)
Bye!

Answer 86

So you dont believe in Jesus christ ? Or Do u say u will do what other people are doing rather than knowing the truth

Answer 87

@Compassionate

Answer 88

A christian should follow the commandments of Jesus christ and not see what other people are doing @jazy

Answer 89

I don't like Christian debates because I have unpopular opinions.

Answer 90

@Compassionate So your not going to talk about it

Answer 91

I don't want too.

Answer 92

@Compassionate So after watching what references i gave it is proved that pork is not allowed in Christianity :)

Answer 93
