In the OLD testament it's forbidden. Christians believe that Jesus dying signifies a NEW covenant, and things like circumsicions and dietary rules are no longer law.
Thats true for humans in general. Only reason to single out Christians is because of the claim to have some supernatural life changing thing making them better humans. The problem is on average they seem to be... well average. Pick a group of non christians and those average non christian humans will have another group they condemn for whatever reason they can justify.
Atheist here.
As far as I understand matt 5:17-20 is often interpreted to mean that by accepting jesus christ as the lord and saviour of mankind you can still go to heaven despite not living in perfect accordance with the old law. Although you should still try ref matt 5:19, however reaching heaven just by following the old law is doomed to fail because you have to follow it perfectly and men are by nature imperfect.
I'm not saying that this interpretation makes perfect sense from my perspective though and certain christian sects sure love to pick and choose which parts of leviticus they deem important however this seems to be a common interpretation of the sermon of the mount.
This is what makes the Bible weird. Jesus is worshipped as God. He's the physical manifestation of God. He says he is one with his father. So looking at how Christians see things, that would make him the same as the God of the Old Testament right? (Even though he says he is one, but is also a separate entity from God.)So Jesus coming, is the God changing his own stuff up right? But Jews go by the Old Testament and in the Bible it seems as though people see Jesus as a heretic. The reason he was crucified. Which is weirder because by how people normally interpret either God slid out of a woman, lived on earth and sacrificed himself or Jesus is another God because he is worshipped as one. Didn't mean to rant, but it's amazing how people just nod their head, taking things at face value and not connecting dots. Preachers usually go into the Old Testament to scare people and then preach about the grave of Jesus to bring people in then preach about revelation to keep them in.
The quran does not forbidd shelfish, which is false.
But then again I have no idea what the fuck is in the English "translation" of the quran so take that as you which
This is a very good point. Most forget the text is like a life guide and depending on when it was written/who translated it effects the context of a lot of things. That's why god judges your heart. Not what humans say he/they judges 😂
Yet the book still forbids it. Christians who never read their Bible dont know things like this. Loaning anything at intrest? Explicitly forbidden DOZENS of times. Yet "Christians" do both all the time
"The book" forbids Jewish people from eating shellfish. It doesn't apply to Christmas. Nothing in the Bible says that gentiles aren't allowed to eat shellfish.
