Why does Jesus hate pigs so much, because If you study the account of Mathew and that of Mark, you will see that they were two different events and twice He decided to send demons into the swine;

Mat. 8:28 the country Jesus visited was Gergesenes where He drove out devils from two possessed people.

Mark 5:1-2 Jesus visited the country of Gadarenes, there Jesus healed one man with unclean spirit.

The only common thing between both accounts is "The Swine" and "The Tomb. Mat. 8 :32 and Mark 5 :13... In those days, the Tomb is always the dwelling place of possessed men.

One thing I don't understand too well is, the events that happened in both accounts are just too similar,

Probably someone should correlate both Mat. 8:28-33 & Mark 5:1-17
 
Jesus did not "hate" pigs!
To try and imply this from those accounts is fanciful.

Move on to something more important!

[h=3]Why did Jesus allow the demons to enter the herd of pigs? ***you could call it "deviled ham"...[/h]
 
Well the one man was speaking on behalf of the other, but it's not quite explained like that.
 
Cue
Mark 5
9“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send (them) out of that region. Thus the possessed man was speaking of the legion,

interesting thing is why didn't the possessed man didn't want to leave the region?

Jesus might have been using symbolism. Pigs have a reputation of eating all the time.
 
While we spend time asking if pigs were symbolic etc (And before anyone tries to tell me pigs are dirty...The times I've seen them it has been the opposite as I've found that while they love to sniff around in mud, I have noticed how clean they are... Far cleaner then a dog would be if it was in the same external environment! Could be due to dogs liking to head for the smellyest smell and roll in it.... Badger poo being like Channel number five...)
Shouldn't we rather conclude that Jesus may have sent the demons into the heard of pigs because they were there? Could have been the only passing animals in sufficient quantity except for other humans? Note how the Bible never tries to hide things. How the pig owners were upset and wanted compensation for the loss of their pigs! If that were some governments one would have never heard that aspect in public!
 
can anyone show me in the bible where Jesus said "I hate " ? Please
 
WHAT!?!?!?

I say stone the heretic! He is saying God and Jesus hate salty porky goodness.....including............





BACON!

Everybody, but Baptists know that Jesus loves bacon....

Good Job any others ?

because I cannot find anywhere in the bible Where Jesus said I hate Pigs LOL
 
Jesus created pigs! (Bacon, ham, pork chops delicious lol) :D



John 1:1-3 NKJV
[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. [2] He was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made through
Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
 
it has never been about hating 'pigs', it is what was done upon His Holy Altar by
the pagans/destroyers who came up with what they thought would most defile
and desecrate His Holy Temple and His Hallowed Sacrificial Laws with what they
considered the most 'un-clean symbol in their society...apparently, they succeeded...

What do you think we were supposed to see in this account of the man who has many demons?
