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.

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

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.
