Bacon

**dogfood** · 03-17-2017, 04:00 PM

Since Jews don't eat pork but Gentiles do.

Will there be different parts of heaven for bacon eaters, for dog eaters, for eel eaters?

Not likely

Actually I still struggle with the concept that we will do anything apart from worshipping in heaven.

Will we need to eat at all?

Jews who are Christians are not prohibited from eating pork.

I think they will enjoy bacon in Heaven, as the Lord has promised that he intends that out joy may be full.

What?.

This was a serious question, why is it in CPF?

I see it in the theology forum.

So will there be death in heaven? As in the death of a pig? And will we have physical bodies that require food and sleep, or will we have spiritual bodies that require neither?

Nice!

The single-greatest threat to the thesis that Jews will eat bacon in heaven is this and only this.

I moved it. I apologize but it didn't seem too terribly serious to me.

Continue.

Well, the thread title doesn't give any indication as to your intent. Also, the comments about eating dogs and eels further made me suspicious.

It's all good.

Carry on.

FWIW, the only food mentioned in heaven (that I can recall off the top of my head) is the fruit from the trees of life mentioned in Revelation 22.

Jesus also said he won't eat of the fruit of the vine until he comes in his kingdom. (interpretive question: did he do so after the resurrection, or is that when he will come again?)

That is a very interesting question.

We know that he ate fish and bread after the resurrection and before the ascension.

I don't recall him drinking wine.

Hmmm.

If he ate bread, I can't see why it wouldn't have been post-resurrection, but I'm also of the persuasion that the kingdom is being built now; perhaps coming in his kingdom meant establishing it here (in which case it would have been post-resurrection).
