No more Pig Meat!

First (and hopefully only) angry reaction on this site.

Please don't cherry pick scriptures. This verse in corinthians is about communion and drinking in an unworthy manner. Re-read the rest of the passage if you would or explain why you felt like that has anything to do with eating pork.




I have had internal discussions about pork and felt led to consume it far less (if at all). If someone makes a meal and didn't ask first though, I'll usually eat it with thanksgiving. I've just moved to beef and turkey instead as a reasonably solid rule otherwise.

My wife works for a nursing home where 0 people have died and 0 people have been reported to have the corona virus. Over 40 percent of Connecticut's coronavirus deaths have occurred in nursing homes. So to me this is an indication that they are doing their job here in Ohio. For you nothing means nothing so you would be just as happy to put your parents in a nursing home where there is a high death rate from the virus compared to a nursing home where the death rate is zero.

I am talking about ALL of the 119 psalm. There are 176 verses in this psalm. I am not picking ONE of them AT ALL. I just presented that as an example to verify what I am saying. But there are 175 more we can read and study if you want.

If you are accusing of cherry picking them maybe that is what you do. People are always guilty of what they accuse others of.

The verse in Cor is about MANY people that are sick. You tell me why MANY are sick and a number have died. Jesus tells us that MANY people are going to perish. Few find their way to eternal life. You tell me what makes the difference between the many and the few? Just what is it about communion that is causing MANY people to be sick? Just what is it they are doing that is causing them to come under the judgement of God? In what way does Paul recommend they are to judge themselves?

Correct, China (Charlie) has NO regard for human life. The evidence of that is in the high abortion rate. Also we had a high school student from Wuhan that was a foreign exchange student. My wife use to cook him dinner every day and something he told us almost every day is that in China there are way to many people so they have no regard for human life. He was very afraid of the Government and very afraid to break any laws because they do not go easy on criminals in Wuhan. In fact they pretty much take on the status of a organ donor when you become a lost cause criminal in China. The question is how much of a grip does the communist party have on the Wuhan Institute of Virology? How much is this institute a tool in their hand for creating a virus to eliminate old people that can not contribute and cost money to take care of? How in the world did they trick US into paying for that research? I was trained in the '70's to deal with Charlie in Vietnam. He likes to set traps for people. He is a lot tricker then you seem to be willing to give him credit for.

I remember that so well when I was in my 20's. I would work, go home, sleep and in the morning I felt fine, no problem. I did not wear gloves, I did not put on a mask. I did not see any reason for any of that. Then years later it all catches up with you. Your immunity system says enough, I can not take it anymore. God is good though and He can help us with all of that. It is a lot easier to look back to see what we should have done different. It is difficult to look forward to see how we should live and what we should be doing.

God has a plan and a purpose for us. Eventually we make a big enough of a mess that we give up and we give into God to just do whatever it is He wants us to do so we can finish what He has sent us here to do.

Acts 15:10 is scripture. Part of the canon. Inspired and Holy. Are you a Christian or do you follow Judaism? Because the more we speak the more you deny the NT.

Its life. I take every precaution. But I choose to stay. To put food on the table. If death doesn't come that way, it will another. My soul is saved and that is all that matters.

A purpose or plan doesn't involve forever on Earth. Stephen's death is what really caused Christians to flee but in doing so brought evangelism to all surrounding areas. God's plan can be achieved amidst our choices. Jonah made a bad choice to run. But God's plan was still completed.

Mennonites consume huge amounts of saturated fats and are fine. Evidently they are so active they burn it off.

I am referring to the passage in corinthians in case that was unclear. If so I apologize. I'm a fan of the passage in Psalms and think "that" at least could be used in your assertion, whether I agree or disagree with it.

You did not explain why you think just because a passage talks at length about communion being taken in an unworthy manner and for this reason there are many sick and dead among you.


If this were a passage that was vague about what it was about that would be one thing.

It seems you are applying it to death in general for iniquity which you are asserting in this thread is dietary. This passage doesn't lend any credence as it is a different topic entirely.



Just re-read over it again man.

Its the China virus, engineered in the Wuhan lev 4 lab. If fact there are at least (3) different lawsuits filed in the US demanding 20 + TRILLION $$$$ in damages.....EACH. So lets wait for the evidence in the discovery process shall we?

God declared pork is clean.

End of story.

Proof that maybe they are not so kosher and they need to clean their act up. Otherwise there would be no need for them to close. God has everything under His control and He is going to work all things according to His plan and purpose. I do not know why we have to go though some of the things we have to endure in life. But this all seems to be a part of God's plan of restoration. We are told that all things work together for good and that in everything we are to give thanks. The last thing we would ever want to do is grumble and complain before God.

The problem is we were paying for the research $3.7 million dollars out of a $42 billion dollar budgeted for the NIH. So all of congress, all of the senate & the president has their signature on the money for that research. All because we trusted in Frances Collins and he was held in high regard as the best man for the job. Now 200,000 people are dead even though Collins said it was all safe and that there was no problem based on peer review analysis of the reseach being done.

There was an insurance company in Boston that had a lot of wind damage. They wanted to blame the construction company and the architect that designed their building. They won their case in court. Only problem was they were the insurance company for the defendant. So they pretty much successfully sued themselves. We can sue Wuhan Institute of virology if we want in international court but we paid for that research so we may end up suing ourselves.

Just like back in Vietnam Charlie is a lot more clever than people want to give him credit for. I think Trump should have proceeded with caution and not stepped on Charlie's toes the way he did. Slow gradual change without a lot of yapping about undermining China and their economy. There are people who believe this is a deliberate act of war no matter what their propaganda is. Charlie is saying if your gonna mess with the bull your gonna get the horns. Even though they go after older people which for them is target anyways because they do not want to have to take care of the older people and pay health care for them. From their perspective they are doing us a favor to help us get rid of a burdon because they do not have the compassion for people the way we do.

That is not what the Bible teaches us. The problem is not eating pork. The problem is telling people that "pork is clean". "Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:19) Jesus said we are to "practice and teach these commands". God makes this very clear who serves Him and who represents Him. So people are without excuse. You can do whatever you want. I am only accountable for me and what I tell people. What they do with that is totally up to them and no reflection on me.

There isn't very much on this earth that someone, somewhere will figure out a way to eat or make a beverage out of is there?

Given that.....................

I use to like eating pepperoni pizza. Only problem is it sets off my defibrillator (four times). If you ever wonder what that is like - is it like getting hit with a baseball bat. There is a wire that goes down into my heart the defibrillator thinks I am dead and is trying to shock me back to life again.

So you can do what you want. But I think I will pass on eating the pepperoni.

I had my wife pick up some meat substitute at the store. It tastes ok. But they say we are to rotate what we eat and not eat anything regular.
