Correct. Silly. Not a point of division. We aren't cut out to be socialists.We are the people who couldn't be constrained by Europe. We are the malcontents, idealists, speculators, dreamers, inventors, debtors and criminals who would not be chained. We don't play well with others, we are brash, outlandish and cunning. let us do what we do best; let us be Americans. |

So if this is what it will be like with christ Reign, why is it wrong now to be vegetarian ? Aren’t we getting ready for paradise ? Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.” Matthew 15 Ask the bozos the following: "Don’t eat anything the Lord hates. 4 Here are the only animals you can eat. You can eat oxen, sheep, goats, 5 deer, gazelles, roe deer, wild goats, ibexes, antelope and mountain sheep. 6 You can eat any animal that has a divided hoof. But it must also chew the cud. 7 Some animals only chew the cud. Others only have a divided hoof. The camel, rabbit and rock badger chew the cud, but they don’t have a divided hoof. So you can’t eat them. They are not “clean” for you. 8 Pigs aren’t “clean” for you either. They have a divided hoof, but they don’t chew the cud. So don’t eat their meat. And don’t touch their dead bodies. 9 Many creatures live in water. You can eat all the ones that have fins and scales. 10 But don’t eat anything that doesn’t have fins and scales. It isn’t “clean” for you. 11 You can eat any “clean” bird. 12 But there are many birds you can’t eat. They include eagles, vultures, and black vultures. 13 They include red kites, black kites and all kinds of falcons. 14 They include all kinds of ravens. 15 They include horned owls, screech owls, gulls and all kinds of hawks. 16 They include little owls, great owls, white owls 17 and desert owls. They include ospreys and cormorants. 18 They include storks and all kinds of herons. They also include hoopoes and bats. 19 All flying insects are “unclean” for you. So don’t eat them. 20 But you can eat any creature that has wings and is “clean.” 21 If you find something that’s already dead, don’t eat it. You can give it to an outsider living in any of your towns. They may eat it. Or you can sell it to someone from another country. But you are a holy nation. The Lord your God has set you apart for himself." Deuteronomy So feed the road kill to the neighbors and eat a gazelle. Or you can sell the road kill to Mexico or Canada. Isn't that awesome?

Yes I am glad you brought this up, I eat a plant based diet for health reasons as well as for the animals and the environment. Other Christians have said to me that God allowed us to eat meat so why am i against it for? I like to remind them that the detrimental effects on our world and our health, feeding GMO to the animals antibiotics growth hormones suffering and torturing animals in factory farms is never something that God would approve of. In good conscience and knowing what I know now I cannot support this evil, They like to twist verses like the one you mentioned above to mean something completely different. The context of that verse from paul was for edifying those Christians who once ate meat offered to idols as a sacrifice. frankly I am tired of the arguments that they bring up, they get offended when you tell them the truth about the industry. The facts are the facts and if they want to continue to eat meat afer they learn the truth then that's on them, thats why they want me to shut up so they can continue enjoying their steak without guilt. To the world I am just a number, but the Lamb of God He knows me by my name. |

During that coming reign we will still need animals for many reasons... his teaching does not say they will all play together..for they too have to eat. Nature will still need to stay in balance... It will be a very long time before predators are not needed for balance in nature. |

You know what NEVER happens? You never have someone declare "I'm a carnivore." in the middle of a get together or a meal regardless of what's being served. I have yet to meet- no pun intended- a vegetarian that could go fifteen minutes in any social situation without feeling the need to bring it up. Then they twist it all around to make everyone else look judgmental- like you did here with the gracious people who offered you food to eat out of the kindness of their hearts. meh |
