In fact, the main reason that he was crucified was that he upset the Jewish establishment by teaching the people that they didn't have to follow the provisions of the old testament law. He broke the law at times such as healing on the Sabbath. I don't know if he ate pork, but he drank wine at the last supper, though there's no reports of him getting drunk at any time.
I'm totally blown away that you think that I'm trying to make a statement of my humility here. I don't remember exactly what post I was answering, but I think he said that if I am a christian that I should be circumcised because Jesus was. I was saying that I followed his teachings and he didn't command that christians be circumcised. He also mentioned eating pork and consuming alcohol. I do try to be humble, but that isn't what I was talking about here. That's the problem when you take quotes out of context.
