The bible has a lot to say about how we should live our lives including how we should eat. In the Old Testament certain foods were strictly prohibited. Eating these foods was a sin. This belief is still held today among orthodox Jews. They only eat “kosher foods” (foods allowed and prepared in the manner prescribed in the Old Testament).
For Christians it is a different matter. In Acts 10:10-16 the apostle Peter had a dream in which he was commanded to eat foods that the Jews held to be unclean. He was informed in the dream that “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.” Acts 10:15. Furthermore, Jesus instructed that a man is not defiled by what he puts into his mouth, only by the words that come out of his mouth. Matthew 15:11.
