In Judaism: Judaism argues that there are certain Divine Laws which apply to Gentiles (Non-Jews), called the Noahide Laws. The Noahide Laws do not contain any requirement for Gentiles to keep kosher, but there is a requirement that Gentiles not consume an animal while it still lives.

In Christianity: This was an argument among Christians in the early days of the Church. A minority called Judaizers argued that all of the Old Testament Law was binding on new converts to Christianity and that a person had to convert to Judaism before becoming a Christian. Accordingly, Judaizers argued that the Laws of Kashrut applied to Christians. However, Apostle Paul and the majority of the Christian leadership disagreed holding that Jesus was the fulfillment of the Old Testament Law and, therefore, the ritual laws like Kashrut were no longer binding on Christians. Paul's view became the mainstream view as more and more Greeks converted to Christianity and had no intention to become kosher, observe the sabbath, or get circumcised.
