Not when they are served out of the same kitchen. You need to talk to a rabbi about that.
Tom Steele [11/24/2015 2:53 PM]
You are talking about Jewish kosher laws, which add way more to it than what the Bible actually commands. God told us certain animals are not to be eaten. Jewish Rabbis came up with all this other stuff, like saying you can’t mix meat and dairy.
Terry Wiles [11/24/2015 3:01 PM]
The scripture fully disagrees with your position
Glynn Brown [11/24/2015 4:12 PM]
Jesus declared all foods clean. Mark 7:19
Timothy D McCune [11/24/2015 4:40 PM]
You Must follow God not the Torah, why do I say this because we are not under the law of the Old Testament that makes up the Torah. We are under Grace because Jesus came and Died for you and I.

Tom Steele, if you think well slaughtered beef is kosher, then I could challenge you to eat a whole long horned cattle horn and to drink a whole bladder full of bull urine. I suppose drinking enough urine could kill you. It’s not a matter of a toxin in it, not a matter of whether bovine animals are kosher.
Joshua Silva [11/24/2015 5:16 PM]
Timothy D McCune agree. Galatians 5:18. Also, Matthew chapter 4 verse 7. Jesus said unto him, it is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the lord thy god. So the idea of eating poisonous things would be ignorant.

just eat the fines bratwurst in honor of this discussion Alan
Tom Steele [11/24/2015 6:19 PM]
Yes Link, I know you insist that it is OK to eat whatever you want despite my sharing numerous articles that conclusively say otherwise, articles that nobody has ever been able to write a solid rebuttal to. People just throw out the same handful of NT verses that aren’t clear and have been proven from the context and original language to not actually be saying that it’s OK to eat unclean animals. You seem like a bright individual, why don’t you take up the challenge? Read through my articles on the topic and write a rebuttal using the same level of facts, history, science, and of course the Bible to support your rebuttal. If you can do that I’ll have a little more respect for you or anyone else who thinks I am wrong on this. Here’s the link to my blog archives if you don’t already have it (if the link doesn’t take you to the blogs it should take you to my home page and you can click “NOTES” under the cover picture): https://www.facebook.com/truthignited/notes/

The whole article lacks common sense and an adequate understanding of scripture. ‘Justifying pork would justify eating poison frogs’ is utter nonsense, scripture States what was ritualisticly clean and unclean, these dietary restrictions were to differentiate Jew from Gentile. But the new covenant did away with this differentiation (there is neither Jew nor gentile) we are all one in Christ.

Jared Cheshire Alan Alleyoop I hereby challenge all bacon lovers, ham eaters, and all who think it is OK to eat pork, shellfish, catfish, sharks, eels, rabbits, and anything else that would be considered unclean according to Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 to eat two of the most poisonous animals on the planet: The Golden Poison Dart Frog and the Puffer Fish. Their bodies are filled with poison deadly enough to kill 10 to 30 grown men. But, your faith tells you that 1 Timothy 4:4 means you can eat whatever you want. Well, the verse also says NOTHING IS TO BE REFUSED. So, if your understanding of the verse allows you to eat anything and everything, then it must also be that you are not allowed to refuse. Bon Appetit!

Took a second but I figured it out. My bad.
Tom Steele [11/23/2015 10:29 PM]
If you’re interested, I do have a blog that breaks down the verse in the MEME word by word
@Timothy D McCune [11/23/2015 11:36 PM]
So since I eat all those things are you saying I’m wrong? Also I’m not stupid enough to eat out right poison or do like those that pick up poisonous snakes and tempt them to bite me, I know the verse means if one of these poison were to some how be put into my body I know that my God has the power to heal me, and yes Iam free to eat pork, shell fish etc….. As Paul states you are not to judge what one man calls holy and what one deems ok to eat.

Jared Cheshire Muslims do not eat bacon or any pork products because the Quran explicitly forbids the consumption of swine flesh, classifying it as impure and haram, or forbidden. This rule appears in multiple verses, such as Surah Al-Baqarah 2:173, which states that carrion, blood, and swine are prohibited except in cases of necessity like starvation. Obeying this command demonstrates submission to Allah’s will and maintains ritual purity essential for worship.
Quranic and Scriptural Basis
The Quran mentions the prohibition four times, using terms like “rijis” to describe pork as filthy or defiling. Hadiths reinforce this, equating pork consumption with spiritual harm, such as invoking Allah’s curse similar to alcohol. These texts form the core of halal dietary laws, emphasizing only lawful and pure foods.
Reasons for the Ban
Pork is deemed najis, inherently unclean, compromising a Muslim’s state of tahara (purity) needed for prayers and rituals. Spiritually, avoidance tests faith and promotes discipline; practically, it aligns with health concerns like parasites (e.g., toxoplasma) and high fat content, though the primary basis is divine decree rather than health alone. Exceptions exist for life-threatening hunger, underscoring mercy in Islamic law.
Shared Abrahamic Roots
This restriction echoes Judaism’s Torah, where pigs are unclean for not chewing cud despite cloven hooves. Islam builds on these traditions, promoting cleanliness across body and soul for over 2 billion adherents today. By forgoing bacon, Muslims uphold a holistic lifestyle of piety and well-being
Jared Cheshire
being that there are numerous factors of why someone could choose not to eat pork, primarily being the fact that it predates Islam by 3,500 years, and is most recorded in the scriptures that you claim to support means that you’re insinuated accusation of your question is nonsense.
Also, it’s not judaism’s Torah. That’s an uneducated and unscriptural claim.
