All the Prophets from Noah up to Muhammad never ever ate Pork.
Jesus never ever ate Pork.
The Bible and the Quran strictly forbids eating pork.
The Old Testament strictly forbids eating pork
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 carcase".
Jesus and eating Pork
Jesus was caught eating without washing his hands
He was caught breaking Sabbath
But, He was never caught eating pork
The Bible never says what Jesus ate pork
How come that Jesus ate pork when the Pork is the home of devils, demons and the unclean spirits? (Matthew 8:32, Mark 5:13, Luke 8:32)
Was pork forbidden in the time of Jesus?
Yes it was and still it is forbidden up to the moment according to God's commandments and Mosaic Laws
It was St. Paul who permitted the eating of pork.
Many Christians either forget or do not realize that Jesus was Jewish.
Jesus was Jewish and more than likely adhered to Mosaic Laws and Jewish traditions.
Jesus said he came to fulfill Mosaic Law, not change it
As a Jew, he most likely ate kosher as other Jews do, which forbids many foods, pork being one of them.
Many Christians do not realize that if they actually followed Jesus and practiced his eating customs, they would never ever eat or touch pork.
Jesus and nobody in the Bible ever ate any Pork;
The Bible speaks against eating pork; the Bible says that you shouldn't even touch the Swine.
Nobody in the Bible ever ate any pork.
Jews do not eat pork
Jesus never ever ate any pork
Muslims do not eat pork
Hindus do not eat pork
Buddhist do not eat pork
Christians laugh and make fun of Muslims for not eating pork, but if Christians would read their Bible, They would see that the Bible plainly say you are not suppose to eat Pork.
So why do so many Christian disobey the Bible, and eat pork anyway?
Is not it strange that only sinners and Christians eat pork.
The pathogenic effects of eating pork
The book "Pork and health / Schweinefleisch und Gesundheit" written by the German homeopath and founder of homotoxicology, Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg discusses the many pathogenic effects of eating pork; She said that she is convinced of the negative effects of pork.
Nevertheless, Muslims do not eat pork because of its harmful effects. Muslims believe that Allah forbids eating pork and they have to obey. That is it.
The Quran says in verse 16:115:
"Allah has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. but if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful".
So, it is a sin to eat pork, dead meat, blood etc.
But, in some special occasion like severe starvation and famine, Muslims are allowed to eat pork to save their life and if they do not eat, it is a sin.
This is one of many examples of Allah's Mercy.
============
In the previous articles, we have seen that the Muslims (not the Christians) follow the Lord Jesus in his word of greeting as well as in the custom of circumcision.
The present article presents the third custom (Do not eat Pork) that was practiced by the Lord Jesus and still it is practiced by the Muslims (not the Christians).
