why we christians have no diet restrictions like jews do.

Hi Mostafa,

The dietary laws of the Old Testament days do not apply now, because
of the Scripture Brandon has quoted. However, pork is not as
healthful a meat as beef and poultry.

The Scripture you are specifically asking about, where Christ says He
has come to fulfill the law, means that He has come to replace the
sacrificing of lams and other animals. It's His blood that covers and
forgives the sins of those who are God's children. It's not anything
humans do, but what Christ does, for the remission of sins.

I hope this helps.

Linda
