Eating Pork As A Christian. MCGI TOPIC REVIEW

in MCGI Cares Hive21 hours ago

We can eat anything which God has created. Since the advent of the New Testament, God has not forbidden us from eating anything. We have the liberty to eat whatsoever we please. The Lord said we should not call anything that God has created unclean.

In the Old Testament, God gave Moses a commandment and ordinances which the children of Israel where to follow. There were many forbidden things in the law. There were laws which they were to keep. One of the laws forbid them from eating pork and other animals of such. The Lord Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the laws. In the new testament, God demonstrated by showing Peter a vision which explained that we can eat anything.

It is better to note that we should exercise discipline when eating whatever we are eating. We should not eat carelessly and like gluttons. We should not eat to become drunken. We should do whatever we are doing with moderation.

love your emphasis on moderation and discipline it's one thing to have freedom, but another to exercise it responsibly. Whether it’s food or any other liberty, self-control is still a fruit of the Spirit. Thank you for this clear and edifying reflection

Moderation is the key. Thank you for sharing.

This is true. Anything done overly is a sin

God has given us every animal for meat
