[QUOTE="Rescue1, post: 531491, member: 280"] Law and Grace cannot and will not mixed This past weekend me and my family (to include my immediate, parents, and siblings) went on a vacation to Tennessee to a car show called "The Rod Run". My brother arrived early Thursday and decided to pick up some groceries for everyone to eat throughout the weekend. While he was picking up some bacon for breakfast a gentleman was walking past him and told my brother that it was a sin to eat pork. He even quoted scripture to back up his belief (notice I said "HIS" belief). My brother who is not really that knowledgeable in the scriptures asked me if it was true. Man did we have a great bible study on this. Here is how our study went. Let's look at eating of pork in Leviticus chapter 11; we see where the Lord is talking to Moses about clean and unclean animals. It also says it again Deuteronomy 14 that we should not eat pork. My question is why? If God made animals and saw that they were good (Genesis 1:24-25), then why would he then say to Moses that you shall not eat of them? If you did a deeper study you will find out that the people of that day were still sacrificing the best they had for God. Some of the nations that Moses was concurring were idolizing many different things. One of which was the pig. To keep them from falling victim from it , because they were weak in their faith, God told Moses that they were not to get them and fall out of their obedience from God.
