Nu, thanks for the answer and am so sorry if am late to answer, i’ve been busy. First, if we agree that God is the best knower, forknower & the all-knowing one, then he surly knows best what foods to eat and no to eat. Here we must ask the question: “Why God forbid the eating and touching of swine flesh in any form?” .So let us see what Bible says about the eating of swine flesh: Leviticus 11:7-8 “And the swine, though he divided the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. “Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.” Deuteronomy 14:8 “And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass. Here God clearly states that the flesh of swine is forbidden to eat and to touch and as I know most of Bible scholars agree that the king’s meat spoken of in Daniel ch.1:8 is referring to swine flesh. I know also that in this story that Daniel and three Hebrew boys followed the best knower (God) and at the end they were healthier by not eating the king’s meat and drinking his drink. You may think that the advent of Jesus (peace be upon him) suspends the law God gave to Moses, so what Jesus (peace be upon him) said about the law god gave to Moses?. Matthew 5:17-19 “Think not that I (Jesus) am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, But to fulfill. “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law , till all is fulfilled. “Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus (peace be upon him) says he came o FULFILL the law God. Therefore, he came in the world to put Moses law into effect and make it the reality by wich all of us live. This would include God’s prohibition against swine. Looking again to what Jesus (peace be upon him) said about the God law, we see that he hasn’t come to destroy the law and this law won’t change till heaven. Therefore law still present and it should be followed or God changed his mind is to say he is not the best knower?. This lead me to an important point, God is the best knower and as the creator of man and pigs he is the forknower of nature of both of them. Suggesting that pigs are fed grains and corn doesn’t negate the fact that they are filthy and poisonous by nature. As an example, to feed a poisonous snake a better diet wouldn’t change the nature of snake being poisonous or to grow a poisonous plant in a different type of soil wouldn’t prevent that plant to do by nature what is created o do. So the same principal stands true for swine. This is what the prophet says or are we going to say that Dr. So and So has better guidance than the messenger of the best knower?. Isaiah 65:2-4 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon alters of brick; Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, eating swine’s flesh, and the broth of abominable things is in their vessels.”
Isaiah 66:17 “They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.” I think you know what abomination means?, it means disgust, that wich is hated, a cause of abohorrance. I will say: the one tree the people hide behind were the people who used the word of God to justify the consumption of prohibited swine flesh. The Bible condemns those that engage in that type of activity as follows: Ezekiel 22:26 Her priest have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and the profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean and have hid their eyes form my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. This perfectly describes how those who are charged with the responsibility of using the word of God, to raise His standard, have used His word to justify their own evil and the evils of he people under their charge. No wonder Jesus says in Matthew 5:19, “Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven…”. Lastly, do you hink that God doesn’t care what you pout in your body or how you take care of it? For me I believe that God cares about the whole person: spirit, soul and body!
