What does the New Testament say about eating pork?

Answer 1

There is nothing that specifically mentions pork by name, but the closest reference we have is the vision of Peter (Acts 10:11-15) where he is told to "Rise, kill and eat."

The New Testament does not impose any restrictions on eating pork.

Let us not forget that Jesus is come not abolish the Old Law but to fulfil them.

Mathew 5:17-18

Let us not forget that the Old Testament says pork is unclean and not fit for eating: "And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase." Deuteronomy 14:8

Let us also not forget that in the Acts of the Apostles 10:15 (in the context of 10:10 to 11:18 or so; never take a fragment out of context as the only, full truth) the New testament also says, in this precise connection: "And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven." It is not for anyone who accepts the truth of The Bible as the message of God, to disrespect or quibble with its direct command or evaluation. Note that, like many of the messages in the bible, this one had more meanings than one; it referred not only to accepting the food of the gentiles, which is what is needed if one is to go out among them according to God's command to the apostles, but also to accepting the gentiles themselves into the church, in conflict with many passages in the Old Testament. If God guides His subjects: "Go left, now right, now left again," then it is not for them to say: "Bad guide! why not make up your mind?" If one grants a GPS that freedom, who is to deny it to God? Of course, it is up to you whose guidance and commands to respect, but if the question is about what the New Testament says, then that is the answer; Peter himself stopped to think, very, very carefully, about both the meaning of the message concerning food and its meaning concerning members of the church, but stopping to think does not mean stopping till you find a way to weasel out of the command of the Lord.

Answer 2

In the New Testament, there is a shift away from strict dietary laws found in the Old Testament, including those about not eating pork. In the book of Acts, it is mentioned that all foods are considered clean. This change in perspective is credited to Jesus Christ's teachings and the new covenant he established.
