There are mixed conversations about eating the pork meat or not. Some people believe that we are allowed to eat pork meat and some people believe that we are not allowed to eat pork meat.
If you read the Bible well, there is a commandment that God has given to Moses in the Bible regarding the children of Israel and not for all people.

Before I go on, it is necessary to understand that there are laws given to the people of Israel and there are general laws given to every Christian so we should not try to mix them up because they are two different rules for different set of people.

Let’s read Leviticus 11:2-7.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

So this means that this rule is only for the people of Israel and not all Christians. To prove that, let’s go back to the days of Noah when God said in the Bible that;

In Genesis 9:3 that; Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have
I given you all things.

This means that we can eat all things but the rule of not eating pork belongs to only the Israelites.
