What if The Bible was written to..

Yes I am curious. Why did the Hebrews outlaw pork? I read that it changes your blood chemistry for up to a day after eating it.

but we do have most of the apocrypha and pseudepigrapha now, so everyone can read them (or at least part of them)

yes we can read them
but the Pope took them out
of the bible

This tells the story, cause that's all it is

Unless you want to deny it, there is serious genetic manipulation going on in our own time. You wanna bet that you are not a product of mass genetic manipulation that took place in this planet's history? You think we are white, black, caucasian, brown etc. just because it just happened magically?

it had nothing to do with blood chemistry
in ancient times

pigs were an economic burden on hebrew culture

the word Hebrew comes from the word Habiru.
the Habiru were wandering nomads who traveled
from place to place.

so grain to feed animals had to be used
efficiently since the Habiru were not
in one place long enough to grow grain
of their own. They had to trade for grain
with other cultures.

pigs were the ONLY animal that did not chew it's cud.

for those unfamiliar with the term

chewing it's cud means an animal chews
it's grain then it regurgitates that grain
back into it's mouth and eats it over again.

horses, cows, ox, donkeys, goats, sheep, etc ...

ALL chew their cud (eat food twice)

PIGS DO NOT

so it took twice as much grain to feed pigs
since they didn't eat twice on the same food

so pork was outlawed because pigs created
a grain shortage among the nomads. pigs
were too expensive to feed.

so the Habiru forbid the use of pork,
later this got in the bible as being
the word of YHWH, but in fact, it was
for man made reasons

feeding pigs brought down the Habiru economy.

however, it had absolutely nothing to do
with god YHWH, man created the law and said
it came from god.

and now you know the real reason why
Hebrews don't eat pork ;)

well we still use different books in different dogmas as the different church councils have agreed in accepting different books in their canon.
