Why I don't eat pork, Well God said not to! Too many Christians play lawyer with Gods word.  God is the judge Not men, Is pork a sin unto death? Well, no but it is a sin against your health and being a sinner saved by grace I know how often I stumble and must repent, should I ad to that by ignoring my heavenly Fathers wisdom but ignoring what he said are clean or unclean food?
I think not! He created these bodies and knows what is good for them and what is bad, And hey! It never hurts to let your Father catch you behaving once in a while does it? Now I love sausage,bacon,shrimp, etc., but if it will please my Father that I avoid these things and He says it is wise that I avoid them HEY! let me get caught minding my father once in a while, I sin way too often as it is, Id rather get caught behaving.

Matthew 5:16-19 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till the heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

I some days fear when I get to heaven I will be called the moron that just squeaked in buy the skin of his teeth, Yes I say that somewhat jokingly but all the same Id rather behave and show my father that I am doing my best to behave myself and listen to what he told me to do rather than play spoiled brat and say Hey! you said I didn't have to do all that! My blessed Lord and savior Jesus gave all for me I don't want to play lawyer and belabor his love for me when turkey bacon and turkey ham tastes just as good and lets face it folks IM not all that skinny in the first place.
When we seek to please God the father he sees that our hearts are seeking him diligently and the blessings flow. I love my father he has given so much to me how can I thank him? sometimes words are not enough, He created us in his image and as a parent I know how much it blesses my heart to see that my children remember to pick up that coat, brush those teeth and not listen to that darn loud nasty music.
I think of the love that flows through my heart when I see a child backtrack and pick up those darn skates off the stairs without my asking, Well I want my father in heaven to feel the same toward me,
Lets think for a moment did Jesus ever eat pork or any unclean food? No, he did not!
We are Christians that means Christ men, we are to walk as he did as best we can and to repent when we fall short, I have no problem with anyone who chooses to eat pork but as for me I have seen people I love get sick with heart disease and stroke.
I will follow Gods idea in what is healthy for me and trust in him he has not ever misguided me.
in Christian love,
