Should We Follow the Dietary Laws?

Christians routinely declare that all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable—until they crack open Leviticus. In Episode 387 of Out of the Question, Andrea Schwartz and Charles Roberts ask the question most believers quietly skip: Should we follow the dietary laws? Their answer may surprise you. The dietary laws were never quietly abolished by the New Testament; they have simply been quietly ignored by a church that prizes comfort over the demands of obedience. Drawing on a biblical-law framework rooted in Christian Reconstruction, Andrea and Charles examine why the Levitical dietary distinctions were given, what they accomplish in the life of the believer, and what it means theologically to dismiss entire sections of God's word as obsolete. If you believe Scripture speaks to all of life, this episode is a disciplined call to honest engagement with one of the most avoided topics in Christian practice.
