Termites are not beasts

Animals have Soul

Yes, they are. It's all living things. As said in the Bible

You are trying to find a loophole to justify your convenience and lack of mercy for other life.

how tf both of you remembers the bible so good?

I have it open in a tab.

You are grossly misinterpreting scripture, a sin. Ecclesiastes is talking about the grand picture - that as us humans are the same as animals because we all die a mortal death anyways. We are made distinct by spirituality and the ability to manipulate nature.

It never once says that. Look at the Ebionites, James the Just. They refrained from eating flesh for a reason. Because it was sinful. To harm and kill other living beings. The Bible makes it very clear that all life is holy and of the divine. Only Human beings can be wicked and sinful.

2 Thessalonians 2:3

Humans are allowed to kill animals for a variety of reasons

We have dominion

We manipulate nature to our will

If a termite is eating my house

It is a threat

And should be killed

“Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments are like the great deep; you save humans and animals alike, O Lord.” —Psalms 36:6

Human and Animal alike

Humans are literally above Animals

Genesis 9:2

And a Termite eating your house is not a threat to you. A threat would be an Animal actively attacking you, a threat to life. In which case self defence is justified. But when there is a merciful alternative, without bloodshed, you find it. To do otherwise is to go against Jesus.

Genesis 1:26

@TaterTot That is a gross and sinful manipulation of scripture of something that applies to humans not animals

Nature and animals are subject to us

Not the other way around

>claims to be Christian
>manipulates scripture

🤔

You realise Gensis 9:3 is about the sins of man? That we are sickened spiritually and so now eat flesh, are feared by Animals and life and that we are distant from what we should be. Lion and Lamb lay together on the Mountain, before the flood we didn't harm Animals and other life it's said, but afterwards we were scorned and became malicious.

I'm not manipulating it, I'm interpreting it in the most peaceful way possible.

Instead of trying to justify my own vices.

If you think following the letter of the book without striving to be righteous is being Christian, you may aswell be a Jew.

No it's not

Genesis 9:3

Are you Eastern Orthodox?

9:3 talks about eating them and eating plants

Irrelevant?

Not irrelevant at all, it's a different orthodoxy.
