Leviticus 11:7
And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.
However in the New Testament all was made clean.
Romans 14:20
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.

Mark 17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

Many of the animals labeled as "unclean" are primarily scavengers. They do not have the kind of multiple digestive system that the cud-chewers do, so the poisons that they consume go directly into their flesh. Only the unclean animals are regular hosts to such parasites as the trichina worm. Isn't it amazing that almost every cookbook notes that you should always be extra careful to fully cook pork to a well-done state, but they never mention that their unspoken reason is so that you will be sure to kill the trichina worms in their little cysts! It is an accepted fact that much of the pork in America, even with all our "modern" health precautions, probably contains trichina. Health authorities also warn against eating shell fish at certain times of year because they are poisonous then. They don't bother to mention that the shellfish have the same scavenging habits all year long that causes this problem. Trichinosis and possible poisoning is bad enough, but the unclean animals are host also to much more serious problems for humans.
Truth is always truth, why would a Christian poison his Holy temple which he is commanded to keep clean?

Bottom feeding fish, and filter feeders do not consume the waste of other creatures of the ocean. They are the vacuum cleaners by ridding the ocean floor of debris, dead fish, plancton, algae and smaller creatures than themselves.

also in 1Timothy Chapter 4 Paul warns of false teachers Verses 1-5 (KJV) "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them who believe and know the truth for every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving :For it is sanctified by the word of God and Prayer."

it was in english and i dont copy paste bible verses
I copied and pasted because I really have no need to know about them. It does not further my spiritual growth to read about lower beliefs and religions. I never heard Abe say anything. He died long before I was born.
Stick around and watch all the bible copy and pasting that goes on. We're all pretty sick of the bible verses and declarations that only they are the truth.They are the truth for Christians, not the rest of us.
Really, you can relax on that. If you don't copy/paste, then you don't copy paste. I guess you just like to talk in thee's and thy's and hath's and such. Another wanna be. Yawn. We get so many of you.
Pork is unhealthy, prove me wrong.
