As pigs were seen as animals that <BR/>ate garbage etc. God called them unclean. Pigs/pork was not an acceptable <BR/>sacrifice for the attonement for sins. However, in the New Testament, this law <BR/>was "lifted." Because of Jesus' death on the cross (and resurrection), <BR/>sacrifices were no longer needed as Jesus was the final sacrifice and faith in <BR/>Him was the only way man could be pure before God. It was no longer necessary <BR/>for God's people to leave by these strict rules. God declares this once <BR/>unclean food clean in the following passage in a dream to Peter.<BR/>Acts 11:4-10<BR/>"4Peter began and explained everything to them precisely as it had happened: <BR/>5"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw <BR/>something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, <BR/>and it came down to where I was. 6I looked into it and saw four-footed animals <BR/>of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7Then I heard a <BR/>voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.' <BR/>8"I replied, 'Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my <BR/>mouth.' <BR/>9"The voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that <BR/>God has made clean.' 10This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up <BR/>to heaven again."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-13195930471919186182007-09-18T21:23:00.000+08:002007-09-18T21:23:00.000+08:00why isn't the modern version of islam = islam hadh...why isn't the modern version of islam = islam hadhari pioneer our beloved AAB made heroine, marijuana, ketamine, estacy, and even nicotine haram.

I studied animal husbandry while in college and one of the subjects is pig farming. <BR/>Beside that I also had experience in my small village in Kelantan where the small chinese community reared pigs by free grazing. They were only penned up at night. <BR/>Of late this form of husbandry has vanished except in the District of Tumpat where it is still being maintained by the coummunity of Thai ethnicity. I have no solid explanation why this happened but I presume they could be due to respect to their Muslim neighbours, feeling of guilt because pigs are constantly digging up crops such as sweet potatoes and tapiocas. The crop owners must have retaliated by whatever means available to them. Anyway I didnt hear any stand off among the villagers. When I last visited my chienese friend's house neighbouring my village, I noticed there were no more domesticated pigs running around and no more pig pens. The distinct strong stench was also gone. I forgot to ask my friend whatever happened to their pigs. I will write more about this when I have some info on this. My personal opinion is it is for the better as a pig sty next to your home is definitely unhealthy.<BR/>The pig husbandry is big business in Malaysia. The government should initiate reform in the industry by providng proper location and amenities so as to make it very hygienic and non polluting to the environment. There should also be a buffer region surrounding the areas which must be maintained at whatever cost.<BR/>That is how the government can exercise their just and fair treatment of the rakyat.<BR/>Finally I would like to thank you for your visit to mu humble site. I love your cartoons as you have a distinct style of your own.

Never got over the incident when I saw the farmers crying aloud along the roadside. They have been taking their fodder supplies from the sundry shops to feed the piglets until they are in grown sizes and all on credit!. Those days the farmers were really the poorest.Bennylohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297634252730996768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-63402191058093086582007-09-11T08:25:00.000+08:002007-09-11T08:25:00.000+08:00Zewt,I am happy that I have enlightened you on tha...Zewt,<BR/>I am happy that I have enlightened you on that aspect. Moslems can eat porcupine which doesnt have any discenible neck too. The 'Sembelih' act is a form of blood letting whereby the slaughtered animal is allowed to bleed as much as possble. The blood letting will remove as much blood as possible from the carcass. So the jugular vein which is the biggest vein is cut. The blood in the veins contains alot of germs and toxins since it is yet to be filtered by the liver. So u can see the scientific explanations to it.<BR/>Anyway I am honoured to have you drop by. I am a regular visitor to your site but only of late I have found something that I feel I should make a comment on.

I dont read the Bible so I dont understand the how it works. In the Holy Koran there is a finality to such an issue so it is a good reverence to solve a controversy.

It is the same if you were to tell smokers to quit smoking.. they won't despite knowing the fact that smoking is hazardous to health.<BR/><BR/>In fact many people are just pure ignorance about their state of health. Alcoholism is another good example. Try telling those alcoholics to stop drinking.. I doubt they will stop.<BR/><BR/>Drug abusers, another good examle, know the consequences yet the take them. Even death penalty is not a deterent enough.<BR/><BR/>The solution.... DON'T TRY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Since he doesnt eat pork anymore it is much easier for my family to visit his and have meals in his house.
