The Torah explains which animals are kosher and which are not. Kosher animals are ruminants, in other words they chew cud, and they have split hooves, such as sheep or cows. Pigs are not ruminants, so they are not kosher. Animals that live in water can only be eaten if they have fins and scales. This means that shrimps, prawns and squid are not fish in the true sense, and so they are just as non-kosher as the eel which has lost its fins through evolution.

Q

Only by placing faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ may any human being receive God’s forgiveness. This is true for Gentiles and Jews, so even a Jew must possess faith in Jesus to receive eternal life.
