Greetings my beloved brethren,i am grateful to be here and i believe you all are doing fine.
I have a learnt something new from Bro Eli's message and i am here to share it with you all.
It's without dispute that pork meat has create alot of questions within the body of Christ.
Some Christians are confused wether it is a sin to eat pork meat.
From the story i have learnt from this message,pork meat was forbidden for the children of Israel.
It was a commandments given to Moses from God to the children of Israel.
It was an abomination to the children of Israel to eat swine or pork meat.
Here is the biblical backup.
Leviticus 11 : 2-8
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. [3] Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. [4] Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. [5] And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. [6] And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. [7] And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. [8] Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
From the above scriptures it's a clear explanation that God commanded the children of Israel not to eat pork meat.
The commandments was specifically for the children of Israel not for everyone.
There are biblical evidences that the commandments was specific.
Because in the book of Gen 9v3
Genesis 9 v 3
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
God had instructed Noah and Adam to eat everything of all the creeping things,it was meant to be meat for them.
While Noah's restrictions was in Gen 9:4
Which God warned him not to eat blood.
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
