We do now, because we are stricken with sin
So strive to be merciful
The eating of meat wasn't a bad thing
God gave it to us
After the fall because he was dissapointed in us
Genesis 9:3
Yes, read it in context
Dosent say that
It isn't a good thing
Anywhere
He eradicated life, dude
And started over
Because of how awful we'd gotten
Then said fuck it, do what you want, you're evil
No, you're interpreting, it's not self-evident
Of course I'm interpreting, that's how scripture works. But I am interpreting within context and within the frame of reference we are given in the Bible. To be merciful and righteous. That applies to everything in the Bible and how we should interpret it.
And in the context of the fact that he wiped out all life
With the flood
That implies nothing
About meat
Be honest with yourself. You want to eat meat so you refuse to see the forest for the trees.
?
What?
It's a saying.
Never heard of it
You're a vegan or vegetarian aren't you?
God made covenant with all life. He says as much in Genesis 9. Not just Humanity. We are the same as all life, also says as much. To say otherwise is vanity. As it says. And yes, of course I am.
As was James the Just and the Ebionites, the earliest Christian followers.
As was Jesus himself, there was no mention of Fish until later Greek translations of the scripture. Just seaweed and bread.
To kill fellow living beings for unecessary reasons is entirely un Christian.
Completely false
Not at all. Read up on it.
The Bible says those that eat only vegetables is weak
Then why did Noah, Seth and so on only eat vegetables and live for over 900 years?
Then when we eat meat we live way shorter?
Show me where it says if we only eat vegetables we are weak.
Quote it.
Are you implying them eating only vegetables is the reason they lived long?
The passage.
