Why did Christians eat pork? Because the Kosher principle—which separated Israel from all other nations by what they ate—was no longer needed—Messiah had come, and was now sending them out to all nations, NOT calling God’s people any longer to be separated in how they ate....
Not to mention Peter was commanded in a vision to eat “unclean” meat of all kinds (as a methaphor and more, for opening the Church to Gentiles). (Acts 10:9-16)
And throughout the Gospels, the principle that food doesn’t defile us, sinful speech does...was a principle Jesus taught, and the Gospel authors interpreted as “calling all food clean.” (see Mark 7:19)
Thank you for the additional references, Analog
It seems to me then, that the ban on pork should only be a temporary thing. And that a ban on beef should be enforced when attempting to chritianize the hindus.
