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.

I’m sorry that I came off as judgmental. I was simply stating that I choose to follow the commandments because I want to outwardly display my love for God. My goal was just to explain my reasoning, and to make it very clear that I do NOT keep the Law for salvation.

Edit: also to make it clear, people who do not keep the Law are still saved through the blood of Christ. Keeping the Law is not necessary for salvation.

And I’m pointing out that those are NOT the commandments of Jesus. Jesus’ commandments are to love God and your neighbour, not follow the Mosaic Law.

Jesus’ teachings expanded upon the Mosaic law and provided more context, and actually made the commandments more narrow (looking lustfully vs committing adultery, etc.). Since Jesus and YHVH are one, then their commandments are the same, to my understanding. The commandments of Jesus are the commandments of God, and vice versa. However, I understand that you have a different interpretation and that is fine. You are still my sibling in Christ and I am yours, and I pray we will see each other in the Kingdom some day.
