commandment4 said:read the last line. it is talking about eating with unwashed hands. he didn't say anything about being able to eat unclean meat.
commandment4 said:yes the law was done away with but not all of the OT like creation, 10 commandments, and all the other things placed by God outside of the "law" like not eating unclean meat which was there before the "law"
And you can get all manner of nasty things from pork.
JamesThePersian said:So, you ignore the entire intent of the passage (which states clearly that defiling things come out of the mouth but that nothing we eat can defile us) and concentrate on the purely incidental line at the end? Yes, eating with unclean hands is the action that prompted the discussion but Christ doesn't only concern his answer with this one issue but rather states that nothing that goes into the mouth can defile us.

Exactly, but why even risk it? Ugh, it's like ground beef... It really gives me the creeps! :faint:dawny0826 said:Only if improperly cooked.
Well, whether it's unclean depends entirely on the 5 second rule.kevmicsmi said:IMHO its ok as long as it hasnt fallen on the floor, now thats unclean meat! ok stupid joke
Super Universe said:The Old Testament was a guide for primitive humans who knew nothing about mold, mildew, germs, and virus carried in the blood.
Aren't we smart enough now to know what we can eat and what we can't? Don't we know a great deal about how virus are transferred?
Do you really think God is so petty that He would consider it a sin for us to eat a snake?
