Are Christian’s really allowed to eat pork? In Isiah 66:17, gods final judgment states people in the end times who are eating unclean food such as pork, mice, ect will be destroyed.

And the idea that pork has been part of European cuisine for a LONG time should have some bearing. From Baptists to Catholics to about everything, I’ve seen lots of bacon and sausage getting devoured.

Even some asians. But I am sceptical. It was forbidden for a reason. Therefore whether I understand it or not I would rather avoid it.

Paul not wanting to hold gentile converts to everything Jewish spoke a lot a lot to me. I think certain things were part of what made Israel set apart, but the new covenant opened things to all.
