== Biblical Views on Shellfish ==

Shellfish is referred to only twice in the Bible; it is not a topic mentioned by Jesus in the four gospels, and there are no references in the New Testament or in the letters of Paul. Jews, and some Christians, do not eat shellfish because of the Old Testament prohibition against it. <ref>http://www.kyrieology.com/drupal/wwje/christiansgokosher</ref><ref>http://www.abcog.org/food.htm</ref>; shellfish are referred to using the same term, usually translated as "abomination", which is applied to homosexuality.

Many Christians eat shellfish but condemn homosexuality - this is an example of selectively obeying God's law when it is convenient.
