One thing I thought was funny.


The family is supposed to be hard core Christians yet in one meal they eat a roasted pig.

So? Christians are allowed to eat pig. Did you mean to say vegetarians?

reply

No thats a strict rule in the Bible. I was born and raised Catholic.


Leviticus 11:7-8 ESV
And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.

Isaiah 66:17 ESV
“Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one in the midst, eating pig's flesh and the abomination and mice, shall come to an end together, declares the Lord.

Leviticus 11:1-47 ESV
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, These are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth. Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. Nevertheless, among those that chew the cud or part the hoof, you shall not eat these: The camel, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you.

Catholics can eat Pork on all days but Fridays. All other mainstream Christians can eat it any day of the week. Those of conservative or Orthodox Jewish faith who keep kosher don't eat pork, nor do Muslims.
