Is eating pork allowed by the Bible?

    It is abomination according to the Bible for the Israelites to eat the meat of swine or pork. Let us read Leviticus chapter 11 verse 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 clovenfooted, 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 clovenfooted*, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
    8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you".

    This is a very clear instruction. If you are going to look closely at the verse, the Lord spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, speak unto the children of Israel, saying so and so. So this is a commandment that was given by God to Moses regarding the children of Israel. Not for all people. It's not for all people. It is meant only for the Israelites. In fact, if we are going to go back in time, during the time of Noah, and during the time of Adam and Eve, there is another commandment. In the time of Noah, let us read Genesis chapter 9, verse 3.

    "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you, even as the green herb hath I given you all things."

    He has given us all things, you see, every moving thing that liveth, there is no classification whatsoever. It was given by God to Noah for meat. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for us, that is the command of God to Noah. Many hundreds of years or even thousands of years before the time of the Israelites, there was a commandment that was given by God to Noah, every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you.

    Noah can even eat crocodile. Why? Every moving thing that liveth, it shall be meat for you. The only prohibition to Noah is, the flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat? So the only prohibition to Noah is not to eat blood. So he must let the blood be poured to the ground. He can eat any moving thing that lives so he can eat pork too.
