Is God a vegetarian?

[Drummerob]

Well, I appreciate the input from everyone, I now see this post is about had it's full run, unless everyone is still pondering the thought of my inquiry, that is. It's a fascinating question, though isn't it. However, I feel my question has been answered.

At this point I am pretty sure I'm not breaking any laws, given the fact that I was granted permission to slaughter my dinner and enjoy it to the fullest extent.

SO...

Tomorrow, I shall hunt!

And I can't wait for those extra special Sunday hunts.

Again, thanks for everyones input.

Goodbye.

Is fish an animal? Do you believe someone sinning if they eat fish?

The fish are animals and living creatures and a fish is not a vegetable.

It is not a sin to those that do not know any better but it is a sin for one like myself that does know better.

In the Bible - ignorance of the law is a legitimate excuss, but they still reap what they sow.

The point is not that anything is wrong with eating the fish itself or other animal, the point is that there is violence in the slain animal's flesh so by eating the meat people also eat the violence and it harms the spirit.

Some try to claim that Jesus ate fish after He rose from the dead but it does not actually say that.

Sin is a word that means ; "missing the mark" as in a target, and sin applies to those that are actually aiming for the taget as they will often miss the mark, but the heathen and idolators and unbelievers are not even aiming at the target.

So eating meat is not really by Biblical deffinition a "sin" except for those that are trying to go the maximum.

Jesus gave others meat to eat but He did not eat the meats Himself.

Luke 24
36 As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!” 37 But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. 38 And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, [2] 43 and he took it and ate before them.

You are grossly mistaken, Jesus ate meat and it says so in the bible.

OK, so, long story short, God really could care less if people sin or not, basically that's what's being said here, sorta like a, "whatever", statement.

God does care about people sinning and we do reap as we sow whether anyone likes it or not.

The Bible story of salvation is like evolution in that it seems like a slow process in which the human race is slowly growing up out of our ignorant ways.

If he absolutely did not want people to sin, he WOULD NOT HAVE allowed the eating of meat in the first place.

He did not allow it in the first place see Genesis 1:29-30 link HERE.

But people are stubborn and demanding, as your post appears to be, in wanting to kill and eat the innocent animals.

This poster gave the NIV quote but the King James is different link HERE as Jesus ate but not the fish.

Also that is talking about after Christ rose from the dead and He never ate meat while in His life so He did not eat meat after death either.

The NIV is written by translators that want to feed off of animals instead of the example of Christ.

 

[Novus Collectus]

This poster gave the NIV quote but the King James is different link HERE as Jesus ate but not the fish.

The link you gave IS the KJV and it ALSO said this: "42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43And he took it, and did eat before them."


Both the NIV and the KJV say he ate the broiled fish.

Also that is talking about after Christ rose from the dead and He never ate meat while in His life so He did not eat meat after death either.

The bible says no such thing. Not only does it not say he never ate meat before resurrection, but it even says that as the Holy Spirit being a form of your god he ate meat.

The NIV is written by translators that want to feed off of animals instead of the example of Christ.

One again, your link to the KJV even said he ate meat! Did you not read your own link?
I think you are going to have to rethink your position after all these years of getting it wrong.

This is also from your link quoting the KJV:

41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43And he took it, and did eat before them.

The heathen giving Christ a piece of meat does not mean He ate it.

When He was on the cross some other heathen gave Him vinigar to drink and He refused it too.

The point is made. Jesus was there in the beginning Genesis 1:29-30 so He is not a hypocrite.

He asked for meat, in the full context including the parts you specifically left out, he ate what he asked for which is meat!

41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43And he took it, and did eat before them.


By the way, the "heathen" you refer to were the diciples.
33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

I wonder if it is a sin in Christianity to call the disciples of Christ heathens?

I know it says he asked for meat but it is only the translation problem because in the older days the word for food was "meat" and so it is written that way but meat only means food see link HERE.

Food is mis-called meat.

At that time they were heathen because they did not believe.

The original post said "is God a vegetarian" not Jesus! The question has been clearly answered by me. Jesus took on human form so He did what we all do except sin. Eating meat is not a sin, so JPC is wrong again. No sense

 

[vraiblonde]

This has been a good thread

It's interesting that JPC has the same rationalization for his Biblical beliefs that he does for his political beliefs - he "interprets" and then just says that the facts are wrong because of some bizarre conspiracy.

I love it

Exactly Vrai! Isn't there a post about Dem's doing what they do best?It's in their blood and yet people vote for them!

I see the point as being that I gave the Bible references with links to show that what I posted was true and correct,

while these nay-sayers are just denying it with nothing to back up their claims.

Oh c'mon y'all were waiting for me to chime in

WTF....

I've had the "bible tells you to eat meat" tale fed to me every Thanksgiving by my Southern Baptist family.

The Bible neither commands nor forbids eating meat. Humans are omnivores and our digestive systems adapt to whatever we feed them. That is how we have survived for thousands of years.

The reason I and many others are vegetarians is because we don't agree with modern factory farming methods and their disaterous effects on our health, economy, and environment- not to mention it's downright cruel to raise animals like that.

The Bible (OT) does forbid eating unclean animals of any sort, so I can see many veggies viewing what is in the grocery store today as unclean. Try Googling the term "crunchy conservative". Interesting perspective!

Some religious groups also have a spiritual aspect associated with refraining from meat. Some say we did not require meat while still in the Garden (the plants provided all we needed).

But is God vegetarian? As others have stated - that question is a bit redundant since God has no need for food (although I personally believe he makes an exception for chocolate).

 

[PsyOps]

I have yet to read in the Bible that says "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son (who didn't eat meat), so that everyone who believes in him, and doesn't eat meat, might not perish but might have eternal life."

So what's the real point here?

Well said. I don't see how people can argue with that, but I'm sure someone (guess who?) will.

Of for crying out loud, you can't be for real here... It doesn't mean He didn't eat it either. God placed everything on this earth for us, MAN! God also gave us teeth that are designed to eat meat. Throughout the Old Testament we read about how brutal the Hebrews were when they sacrificed animals to God. God enjoyed the frangrence of the burning meat. The people ate the meat.

What does any of this have to do with salvation? If you want to be a vegan and still believe in Christ, I'm pretty sure God will welcome you. If you want to eat meat and believe in Christ, I'm sure God will welcome you.

And the fact that you call the apostles heathen shows how misguided you are.
