the new testament washed away the laws of the old and the path to salvation became accepting jesus as lord and savior

- Jesus himself said its what we do/say that can defile us, not what we eat
- dietary laws and many of the other laws given to the Jewish people in the OT were meant to set them apart from the surrounding cultures and communities. Jesus during his time teaching and preaching taught that it was about following him whether Jew or Gentile and didn't force non Jews to adapt Jewish tradition to follow him. That'd be like the government immigrants to throw Independence Day parties

Jesus was either full of shyt or his words got twisted.

Everything listed as bad for you in the Old Testament is still bad for you today.

They basically say don’t eat any animal that eats dead animals and don’t eat any animal that can’t detox properly.

Funny that g-d in the OT said that no other g-ds come before him. Why would g-d go back on his word?

or he said what he said and people can do what they want. The bible also preaches moderation. Many of the things that are killing us today have more to do with our sedentary lifestyles, food processing and our lack of balance and portion control. Weren't too many folks who had access to eat pork 4 times a week back then.

People could always do what they want.

Diabetes, cancer, heart disease, gout, hypertension, etc does what it wants too.

And Jesus never said abandon the Law, another trick the devil pulled.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17)

I always wondered besides the SDA and Orthodoxy was why don't most Christians follow dietary law from the Old Testament. They continue to eat Pork, Crab, Lobster, and Shellfish. However, when homosexuality and premarital sex comes up they go back to the OT. Why is this? Do most Western Christians just pick and choose? Muslims follow Halal and Jews keep kosher.

Acts 10: 9-16

9 The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roofto pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.11 He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air. 13Then a voice said to him: “Get up,Peter, kill and eat!14“No, Lord! Peter answered. I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.15 The voice spoke to him a second time: Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.16 This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

God, not Paul abolished that in the New Testament. Christians believe in the new Testament which abolished the law of the Old Testament.
