Why do religious people eat pork if in Deuteronomy chapter 14 verse 8 says thou shall not eat of the swine nor shall you touch its dead carcasses?
Some religious people still do not eat pork (Some Jewish for example). However, The Bible was not only the word of God but also a handy guide to keep you safe (instructional in all areas of life if you will). The reason we were not supposed to eat certain animals was because of diseases (like foot and mouth disease) that are now less common, treatable, or kept out of our food supply in general. So, for many it is now acceptable to eat these animals. Ignorance of the Bible maybe? For Christians, one possible reason is that, in Acts 10:9-16, Peter is shown in a vision that God is the one who declares what is clean or unclean, not man. This vision had a symbolic meaning, in that Peter was struggling with the Gospel going out to the Gentiles, but some people also believe that it cancelled out the Jewish laws of cleanliness with regard to animals. Others believe that the laws of clean vs. unclean animals only applied to the Jews. It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person but rather what comes out because this represent what a person understands.
The instructions from Deuteronomy regarding pork apply only to those who follow it for either dietary reasons, or personal taste, or to those who follow Judaism. Some Seventh Day Adventists also abstain from pork for health reasons.
If one is a Christian there is absolutely no prohibition on the eating of pork. It is indeed surprising that this is even discussed, since Christians are clearly not under the law but under grace. In other words, the Old Testament laws do not apply.
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with Thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

What does Deuteronomy chapter 28 mean?
Hello The meaning of Deuteronomy outline the blessings for obedience. Read Deut 28: 1-14 and the curses for disobedience. Read Deut 28: 15-68. Deut 28: 1 reads. " And if you will without fail listen to the voice of Jehovah your God by being careful to do all his commandments that I am commanding you today, Jehovah your God will certainly put you high above all other nations". Ancient Israel was God's chosen nation. He gave them his laws and told them that if they obeyed his voice, he would place them "high above all other nations of the earth, as mentioned in Deut 28: 1 It was not Israel's own righteousness that exalted them. The commandments that God gave them were far superior to the laws of the nations around them. As a people, they were just as imperfect as all those nations. Hence, to Jehovah's superior law and their strict adherence to it go the credit for their being lifted up above the nations. When they obeyed Jehovah's laws, they enjoyed his favour and blessing. According to Proverbs 14: 34 " Righteousness is what exalts a nation, but sin is disgraceful to a people. Today our world, which is lying in the power of the wicked one, according to 1 John 5: 19. Revelation 12: 9 describes the wicked one in these words. " The original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth. 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 describe people's shameful behaviour due to their lack of righteousness and love for God's requirements. So to answer your question about the meaning of Deuteronomy 28. which were all about God's requirements for his chosen nation, which had allowed Israel as a nation to walk in righteousness. Read Isaiah 48: 17,18 express in these words. " I, Jehovah, am your God. The One teaching you to benefit yourself. The One guiding you in the way you should walk". 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 expresses the same idea for us today. It reads. " All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for discipling in righteousness, so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work". Which shows that people from all nations from all walks of life, have the opportunity to live up to Jehovah's standards and benefit themselves. The benefits are revealed in Psalms 37: 29 in these words. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it, which has always been Jehovah's purpose when He created mankind. Read Genesis 2: 17. Daniel 2: 44 shows that God's Kingdom ( God's government ) will put an end to all human governments. God's kingdom will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done, and will provide the paradise conditions the earth has lost. The first Book of the Bible, Genesis shows how paradise on earth was lost and the last Book of the Bible, Revelation, shows us how paradise on earth will be regained. Kind regards
What prophet did Moses foretell?
In Genesis 49:10 and Numbers 24:7, Moses predicts the coming of the Messiah according to Jewish interpretation (Rashi commentary). Though the chapter in Genesis was spoken by Jacob and the verses in Numbers 23-24 were spoken by Bil'am, it was Moses who recorded them in their permanent form (Deuteronomy 31:24). According to Judaism, the Messiah has yet to appear.No prophet or king is foretold in Deuteronomy 18, since the verses there are all generic, not grammatically referring to any individual, but rather to a type of people who would later arrive (kings and prophets, both in that chapter). The last Israelite prophet died in 340 BCE.
