Why Only Christians Eat Both Beef and Pork

Why Do Religions Forbid Certain Foods?

Ancient taboos set up for hygiene and to protect survival resources
Judaism and Islam forbid pork; Hinduism forbids beef. So why can Christians eat everything? In Old Testament times pork was risky for hygiene reasons. In Hinduism, cows were a resource that plowed fields and gave milk. That's why they were forbidden. But times have changed. Hygiene has improved and machines now do the farming, so the original reasons for those bans no longer apply.

What Jesus Stressed Was the Heart, Not Food

Going beyond formal rules toward inner purity
Jesus said, "It's not food but what comes out of the heart that defiles a person." In other words, the living God guides us in ways that fit the times.
