“Don’t take away my bacon!” is the cry of many Christians who decry the biblical laws of clean and unclean meats. “Those Old Testament laws are done away with,” they continue. But let’s step back, take a deep breath, and for a moment put on the shelf what we’ve been taught in our churches. Let’s take a second look at WHY Elohim called eating pork, shellfish and the like an abomination, and why he deemed his dietary laws a holiness issue. This is an overlooked aspect of true biblical holiness that has to do with how we view our bodies as the holy temple of YHVH, and how the biblical dietary laws are a pathway to a transformative mindset on how we view ourselves as being holy, set-apart, and as having been called out of the world and its ungodly ways to be a chosen and peculiar people unto YHVH.
