Why Don't Christians Follow Dietary Law?

[SirReginald]

I always wondered besides the SDA and Orthodoxy was why don't most Christians follow dietary law from the Old Testament. They continue to eat Pork, Crab, Lobster, and Shellfish. However, when homosexuality and premarital sex comes up they go back to the OT. Why is this? Do most Western Christians just pick and choose? Muslims follow Halal and Jews keep kosher.

Because those things are all fukking delicious that's why

Had some Pernil on Sunday and that shyt soothed my soul

 

[EBK String]

Because Paul gave them free reign to do what they want.

 

[King Poetic]

Because they follow their own interpretations

hell black Christians are the worst

especially the sisters I come across... they don’t follow shyt out the Bible and make their own rules

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Job did that
So hopefully, we wouldn't have to go through that

 

[NotaPAWG]

cause christians believe the law is done away with

 

[kevm3]

Fornication and homosexuality are forbidden in the new testament and dietary laws are not the covenant that Christians are under

 

[SirReginald]

Because Paul gave them free reign to do what they want.

Paul isnt G-d though. Also; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam follow the same Abrahamic G-d.

No, Paul didn’t

Romans 2:12-13
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

Romans 3:31
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law

if the law is done away with that means there is no sin. anyone who teaches that is a liar.

They won't even wait to have sex Christians only practice what's convenient.

So, why aren't Christians subjected to dietary law if you all are following G-d's laws? Jesus/Yeshua even said that he wasn't here to do away with the laws.

I have come to the conclusion that this is what it is.

Jesus shifted the conscienceness

"Listen and understand. What goes into a man's mouth does not make him `unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him `unclean. ... But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man `unclean. '

God is the collective conscience,we are god,and we have decided we like shrimp and its okay to eat pork in moderation.

 

[Verbal Kint]

- Jesus himself said its what we do/say that can defile us, not what we eat
- dietary laws and many of the other laws given to the Jewish people in the OT were meant to set them apart from the surrounding cultures and communities. Jesus during his time teaching and preaching taught that it was about following him whether Jew or Gentile and didn't force non Jews to adapt Jewish tradition to follow him. That'd be like the government immigrants to throw Independence Day parties
