Was Jesus a vegetarian?

Jesus followed the religious rules of his day, including the Passover meal that required eating a lamb.
So no he was not a vegetarian.

No.

I doubt it, he was into body building.

When they had finished breakfast Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17 RSV)

No.
don't listen to new agers, the love tangy tangerine

he ate kosher since he was Jewish...

Is fish a vegetable?

I don't think he was a vegetarian. Vegetarians do not multiply the loaves of bread and the fish.

If he was a vegetarian, wouldn't he have multiplied the loaves of bread with a side order of tofu and a topping of bean sprouts, instead?

From Matthew 14:13...

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

I don't think that vegetarians prepare meals involving meat to feed to others.

Of course, I really don't know, and I'm just speculating, but it sounds like those multitudes ate McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwiches to me.

I wonder if he whipped up any tartar sauce?

He was.

Without "meat" none of you would be here.

Don't put on the brakes now

Was Jesus a vegetarian?
by Matt Slick



No, Jesus was not a vegetarian. He partook of the Passover Meal which was lamb.

Exodus 12:3,6-7,11, “Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month they are each one to take a lamb for themselves, according to their fathers’ households, a lamb for each household”…” 6‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month, then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to kill it at twilight. 7 ‘Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it…11‘Now you shall eat it in this manner: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste—it is the LORD’S Passover.”
Mark 14:13-14, And He *sent two of His disciples, and *said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him; 14 and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

????? One of the most populous nations on Earth is India - millions of Hindus are vegetarian - hasn't wiped them out.

technically there are no vegans at all. If it weren't for animals a lot of your bush macaroni wouldn't pollinate/procreate

Are bees considered animals? Just wondering, there is a sliding bar lately

He cooked fish for his disciples (John 21:9-14

So their foodchain is just plants? and babu above?

I'm saying, oil and animals provide our society right now/.

I would love to see humans get off oil, but I doubt I will see it in my lifetime.

Humans have been eating meat for a hundred years, maybe since ww1. I doubt we can stop now! Our brains might explode

The Jesus I can fathom will not murder any innocent animals...The Jesus depicted in the Bible which was written under the rule of the Romans who actually killed Jesus may eat meat...

Jesus who spoke about loving even your enemies...(the other ones that did like Mahatma Gandhi) would not kill an animal...and that too for what...one meal...

How can Jesus put his one meal above the life of the animal...

If Jesus did that he would not earn my respect...

What I wanna know is was Jesus married ??

This is why you are an atheist. Just stop, it's pathetic

A hundred years eh? Don't think it'd take much to make your brain explode.

Actually Gandhi did eat meat for a time.
Try studying history. He admitted it.
So will you "lose" your respect for Gandhi also?

Clearly NO.

Did zombie Jesus eat braaaaaiiiinns ?

He smoked and ate meat in his childhood and regretted it...

You remember Gandhi not because he was Gandhi but because of his non violence motion...
If Jesus behaved like Hitler people would remember him such...People remember a person on his/her deeds...
Meat is Murder...You cannot get meat without killing an innocent animal who loves its life the same way your kids love their life...
So if compassion is what you see in Jesus then that Jesus cannot kill and eat meat...If vampire is what you see in Jesus than your depiction is correct...

Where does it say this?

The truth is no Christian has to get smacked around and turn the cheek. That is dangerous assumption to make.

There are no restrictions on pork or shellfish, that is old testament laws. If you have a problem with the Talmud, take it up with the jews and muslims....

oh nvm they would just smash your brains off for playing games

Jesus helped Peter to catch and kill a lot of fish.

Also ahter He was resurrected, the disciples found Jesus on the beach barbequing fish.

After Jesus healed people, he told them to go in to temple to sacrifice animals, as God had ordained.

Jesus also told the disciplesthat they could eat anything, nothing that goes in to mouth and stomach, pollutes man.

Also Peter saw a vision from God, where God told him to kill and eat all kinds of animals, not only Kosher.

Se Jesus the Vegetarian is a bunch of BS, on the other hand, Hitler was a vegetarian.
