> Thank God.

God also gave us this virus, if we stick to the religious logic.



It was a figure of speech.


Actually, no - if one follows the 'religious logic' as you call it, we live in a Fallen World under the dominion of Principalities and Power of Darkness. It is from there that the virus came.

The 'God will smite thee' beliefs largely came about as a form of control over people, and do not line up with New Testament biblical teaching.


> New Testament biblical teaching

For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled.


Which is contradicted by Kosher dietary restrictions being struck down in the New Testament.

Part of the power of the Bible is its contradictions. Like in math, you can use one contradiction to prove any statement true.


Distinguishing between moral law and Jewish ceremonial law eliminates all of those supposed contradictions.


You assume Christinaty.


I thought it was bush meat. So human decided to eat something that they shouldn't. Geniuinly asking.


Did god put warning labels on things we should and shouldn't eat?

How do I use God's wisdom to decide if if a certain pig is "safe" to eat or not?


Since you asked!

Deuteronomy 14:3-20

3 “You shall not eat any abomination. 4 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, 5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex,[a] the antelope, and the mountain sheep. 6 Every animal that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. 7 Yet of those that chew the cud or have the hoof cloven you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, are unclean for you. 8 And the pig, because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.

9 “Of all that are in the waters you may eat these: whatever has fins and scales you may eat. 10 And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.

11 “You may eat all clean birds. 12 But these are the ones that you shall not eat: the eagle,[b] the bearded vulture, the black vulture, 13 the kite, the falcon of any kind; 14 every raven of any kind; 15 the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk of any kind; 16 the little owl and the short-eared owl, the barn owl 17 and the tawny owl, the carrion vulture and the cormorant, 18 the stork, the heron of any kind; the hoopoe and the bat. 19 And all winged insects are unclean for you; they shall not be eaten. 20 All clean winged things you may eat.


If you go by the Koran or Bible, pork is forbidden. If you go by the Bible, most (if not all) bush meat would also be forbidden.


> If you go by the Koran or Bible, pork is forbidden.

Correction - if you go by the Old Testament, pork is forbidden.


Is this really a "correction"? It's not as though other parts of the Bible (or Koran) explicitly repeal said forbiddance (even though the most popular interpretations prefer to see it that way)


Hey man, some people have multiple gods.
