It is apt to its subject.

Christians do not follow the Old Testament to the extent it is superceded by the New Testament.

That said, why is it "not smart" to prohibit the eating of shellfish given that shellfish live by acting as filters and retaining toxins that cause serious medical conditions, including but not limited to hepatitis?

Hmmmm..tell me how many deaths you can find related to eating shellfish, so..and where exactly does it say in the NT that this prohibition has been superseded?

Do you follow the letter of the law today?
Never committed any crime whatsoever that had been made by the local government?

I doubt it.
But I am sure you have never murdered anyone either.
Thou shalt not kill.
Do we throw away the Bible and thou shalt not kill because of shellfish?

[geraldineAE]

No, we throw away the nonsensical bits about shellfish and unclean houses etc.

The Bible teaches about hating the sin, but not the person doing it.
You can be friends with all kind of people, but stand firm to your principles and don't join in with an activity that you are not happy with.
