Genesis 9:3 says that God gave all living things to Noah for food. This, in turn, applies to us as Christians. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 1 Timothy 4 also gives more insight into this. It deals with those who mislead the church and tell believers that they should ...

Romans 14 as a whole doesn't endorse a vegetarian diet as necessary or otherwise better. Look at the beginning of the chapter for the context: Romans 14:1-4 (KJV) 1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not ...

Nope. There are no restrictions. We can even eat food sacrificed to idols. This passage in 1 Corinthians talks about that. The passage ends with the verse: 1 Corinthians 8:8 (NIV) But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. Having said this, the author continues with: 1 Corinthians 8:9-10 ...

Canon Law 1251 says: Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays [...] (emphasis mine). In other words it is to be determined by the bishops exactly what constitutes abstinence. The bishops of Quebec can simply state that beaver meat is OK to eat on days of abstinence. They ...

As a precept of the Catholic Church, in America, we are obliged to fast from meat on Fridays in Lent and fast completely on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Bishops in the U.K. are re-adopting this guideline starting Advent 2011 for all fridays. In America we're supposed to maintain some sort of penitential observance, although we get to choose what. But on ...

Your title and question are very different, so I will respond based on the title. You may find this article very interesting: http://www.askelm.com/doctrine/d040402.htm Basically, there is no hygienic reason for these dietary rules, as, if a clean animal died on its own and you ate it, then you must wash your clothing and be unclean until evening. ...

There never were any dietary Laws enforced in the New Testament aside from polite rules derived from brotherly love and the desire for peace during the time of transition between the shadows of the Old Testament and the realities found in Christ. Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. What goes into someone’s mouth does not ...

Take a quick glance at either of these sites: NIH site on foodborne illnesses or Texas Aggie page on Bacterial food poisoning Both of them give the names of illness-causing bacteria that are found in pork. So to answer your first question, yes, swine and the handling of pork can transmit disease today. It is likely that these bacteria were present in ...

As DJClayworth wrote, nowadays it's not a strict rule what you can eat in lent. But in Middle Ages, there were strict rules about it. All fish were allowed. But fish were not defined as today, but as "all water animals", including a beaver or a capybara. Molluscs were permitted too - thats why monks (some order had to fast for most of the year as others ...

For Mormons, the following are forbidden: wine(except for sacraments) strong drinks tobacco hot drinks These commandments arise from Doctrine and Covenants, Section 89 (which is Mormon-specific scripture): 5 That inasmuch as any man drinketh wine or strong drink among you, ...

Genesis 1:29 - Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food." (NIV). In my understanding, that includes plants and trees as food, but does not exclude non-vegetarian food Isaiah 65:21-25 is a prophecy is on new heaven and new earth. Even today, ...
