Is God a vegetarian?

Many Buddhists are vegetarians.
Ever ordered "Buddha's Delight" at a chinese restaraunt?
I've heard some monks will not eat animals that were killed specifically for their consumption (roadkill ??? who knows).

Thats great that you are willing to see the verses as I do! Seriously, I mean that.

but that isn't the question.. It's not what Christians/ Buddhist's eat, but what God/ Buddha ate..
What God would eat? He's God- he doesn't need to eat.
What would Ol' Sidd eat? Considering the time and place he lived he may have ate a mostly vegetarian diet, and in his quest for enlightenment he frequently fasted. Legend is at one point he could touch his navel to his spine (those jolly fat guy statues you see in Chinese restaraunts are not Buddhas).

I am saying he ate the "honeycomb" and not the fish.
And I base it particularly on Genesis 1:29-30 that mankind was created as vegetarians and Jesus never fell short in any way.
If He ate the fish then it would mean Jesus put a piece of violence into Himself.
Therefore He did not eat the fish.

But everything God made is holy. Don't you think if he only ate the honeycomb it would have said that? It says:
Luke 24
42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43And he took it, and did eat before them.

Once again you ignore the important point. Your god told him to eat meat, so if it is a sin in some form, then according to your logic your god commanded Noah to commit sin.
You cannot avoid this with any credibility.

The fish is made by God and I agree it can be considered as holy, but killing the fish and eating its carcus is a violent act and violence is not holy.
I believe the Bible does not say that specifically because eating animals is a human weakness and so God does not give the vegetarian message to the weak because it would be a stumbling block.
The vegetarian message is for those that know themselves as weak and chose to become stronger and closer to God and closer to the truth.
Since I searched for the maximum then I found it and it was always there for anyone that seeks the full Biblical truths.
Now I tell the message because I am sick of babying the weak while the brutality and ignorance keeps going on.

God permitting meat eating does not mean He told them to do it.
The time for salvation was not at the Noah time.
Even if God had told them not to eat animals then they were going to do it anyway.
It is just like the ten commandments, and later Jesus giving the sermon on the mount, then nobody or very few obey the commandments or those principles.
This world is not going to be saved until Judgement Day and not now or back then.
The commandments and Jesus teachings and being vegetarian are for those that rise above this wicked world and it is not for those that keep on sinning.

1 Corinthians 10
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: 26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
Newsflash, he ate the fish......

YOur god either commanded Noah to go forth and sin ("Everything that lives and moves will be food for you"), said it was ok to sin, or said it was no longer a sin to eat animals. Anything else besides it was never a Chrisitan sin to eat meat does not make sense.
By your logic about eating animals is a sin it has to be this way, your god told Noah to sin, endorsed his sinning, or encouraged his sinning, or all three are true.
Your godeth haseth spokeneth. As his gift to man, "Everything that lives and moves will be food for you". Eat your god's gift and show him honor; eat meat and stop sinning.

Folks, lets get real... heaven is not about eating or drinking! Veg or meat lover... this is not a ticket to sin or not to sin... get real. If you are convinced in your heart meat is wrong then don't eat it... if you feel you are right to eat meat, enjoy for God created all and all He created is good. 1 Corinthians 8.8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do." [NIV] Remember, if it offends your brother that you are eating something... don't eat in front of him... don't provoke him by calling him a 'sinner' or such silliness. Above all, stop adding interpretations to Scripture - man, we way ourselves down with such heavy burdens of legalism.

In the old testiment God told people to do many sinful things like kill all the enemy - men, women and children, and God told them to stone a harlet, eat animal flesh, take an eye for an eye, and much more.
It was Jesus that clarified the truth saying to turn the other cheek, love thy enemy, do not stone the harlet, instead of eating the Passover lamb He said to have bread and wine, no longer an eye for an eye but rather love thy enemy, and much more.
So God told the ignorant people of old to do sinful things because the ignorant people could not handle any greater burden.
Now is time for mankind to wake up and to grow up.

So now - now we finally do have an agreement.
And so are you a devil-ish woman too? like the avatar.

I feel like I responded incorrectly to this post already,
because she made me angry by the post,
so I am changing my previous denial of arguing as I was not true.
So yes we are "arguing" but it is not a heated argument and I do not see any reason why anyone would feel stupid by it.

No, that's just the closest to Bettie Page in a Halloween costume I could find that was mild enough to have as an avatar.
