The object of the pork, mankind any anything else is the imperfection.
If we put aside for a minute the objectionable practices of all these items listed above, we find that mankind is short!
Short of perfection in spirit, not of the flesh, for the flesh is a marvel of perfection, subject to the conditions of the planet it lives on.
but lets talk about the spirit of man that makes it short of perfection.
Now there is only but one that is good and that is God period, no ifs and buts about it.
Because mankind is made in the image and likeness of God in spirit, meaning that we have the ability to rule our own little kingdom, we become separated from God.
Therefore, everything that is a don't, as in don't do this or don't do that, don't eat this or don't eat that is a scale of perfection that the human spirit can not achieve, no not one person, not any person except God Himself.
When we address the written laws more so than the laws of the spirit, we are doomed to live by them.
If your belief is not to eat pork, than your doomed to eat because the law is your god.
But is you are in the law of the spirit of God, than you are free to eat anything, because the spirit in mankind is reborn to the freedom which Christ has made us in.
Now as for my brother eanassir, because he does not believe as I do in Jesus, he can not be free, but must continue to abide in the written law and one in which if he trespasses, is condemned.
I in the other hand, can trespass my own self only, and meet my own consequences of my indulgence's.
But of God, I am in Christ as Christ is in God and we all are one as Jesus prayed:
Joh 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
The prayer of Christ is also as the words in the Koran:
The Prophets
- [21.108] Say: It is only revealed to me that your God is one God; will you then submit?
If Christ submitted to the perfect will of the Father God in our behalf, then we to can be one in God in Christ.
I'm not sure that the righteousness of Mohammad could buy my freedom as Jesus.
For Jesus was given to the purpose of His existence and there was no way out for Him.
