Can Christians eat pork? Many people ask. After 2000 years, there's still some confusion. Why do so many Christians eat pork when the Bible forbids…. Pork was never considered food in this context either by Jesus or the pharisees. We have to keep things in context. When you tell your kids there is no school today so you can do whatever you want, it goes without saying that they still can't rob a bank. When you said "anything" the context was automatically understood.
The biblical dietary laws are mostly ignored today. But were there reasons for God calling certain animals unclean? Did Jesus eat pork and shellfish?. However, Jesus made some interesting observations on this matter. Let's take a closer look at his teachings. 1) What did Jesus teach about eating foods? First, Jesus did not tell the Jews to eat all foods in Matthew 15:11. At that time, under the Old Covenant, it was essential that Jesus and the other Jews obey God and eat according to the Law.
