I am an American that was born Christian. I have lived in Egypt for almost 4 years and am now living my life as a Muslim.
In America, the Christians seemed to ignore the following verse (I know as I grew up eating pork all my life)
Leviticus 11:7-8
"And the swine, though he divided the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
"Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you."
Deuteronomy 14:8
"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass
I gave it up for Ramadan 2006 and it is my intention to never eat it again.
So, American Christians boldly IGNORE the verse and eat pork.
Can some of you explain to me, from your opinion why most Christians ignore this verse and clear instruction from God?
How do you feel about eating pork?
No need to hear from my Muslim brothers and sisters....I already know....
Thank you so your insight.
