Christian Preacher tells Christians to stop eating PORK

Or one step closer to Judaism

I agree, it's to do with Christians wanting to become more Jewish, ie wanting to emulate some of God's old Covenant. I do admire them for it, although I do think it's rather unnecessary.

i love the accent

jazakAllah for sharing bro

Dont you find it shocking how your God would "change" his mind in the bible when pigs havent turned over a new leaf and continue to stay dirty and eat filth and garbage even today

Pork is actually a good source protein. The tenderloin can contain less fat than a chicken breast. It contains vitamins such as B6, B12, niacin, thiamine and riboflavin. Science, contrary to Middle Eastern folklore, has proven that pork can be just as healthy as any other meat. I personally couldn't care less what pigs role in, the hygiene of the animal has absoloutely no correlation with the quality of its meat. As for the point about honouring God, I think He's more concerned with prayer, worship and good deeds to others than such a trivial matter as whether or not I eat pork.

It's about time!

Most foods in excess will kill you or cause diseases. Too much salt will lead to high blood pressure, too much chocolate will cause obesity, too much sugar will cause gum disease, etc. People aren't going to stop eating one bit of food on the off chance it'll give them a disease if they eat too much of it, or else they may as well give up all food bar fruit and vegetables.

However, domesticated pigs should not be allowed to eat any excrement, as this contributes to the risk of parasite infection. Perhaps for reasons associated with pigs' ready coprophagy (eating faeces), pork was scripturally banned as human food first in the Old Testament and then the Qur'an. Practicing Jews, Seventh Day Adventists and Muslims familiar with this behavior by pigs may cite it as an additional important reason why pork shouldn't be eaten."

From : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprophagia

God didn't change his mind when it came to Christians. Jesus (peace be upon him) came not to destroy the law but to fulfil.

God allowed pure things to be eaten. How a faeces eating animal can be pure is beyond me...

It doesn't matter how cleanly pigs are kept nowadays, thats the innate nature of a pig left to it's own devices.

I know...their gross! I have seen Joel Osteen live and his sermens are great. .....Did you hear the part where he said they eat there dead young. They eat trash, feces, and digest the food in only 4 hours, not enough time to process the diseases and stuff, it's stored in their fat...ewwwwwweeeee

It's gross.....but so are spiders

swine flu is a warning to everyone in this Earth that pork is never good to us..that is why God has prohibited human to deal with pork no matter you're eating it or just breeding it..

That's a non-argument that's been dealt with before. How do you explain bird flu then?
I remember news saying the state of Argentina is encouragin the consumption of meat other than beef, including pork. The president said pork spiced up her "marital" life.
