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.

¿

I'm a Baptist, but most of my beliefs align with the Lutherans according to people I've spoken to

If an alligator entered my home, and was in front of me and I have to make the decision to shoot it or to open a door and try to let it escape

I'm shooting it

we should strive to be as close to divine as possible. Before we were cast from the Garden we ate only plants, before the flood we ate only plants. After the flood, we ate meat and were feared by Animals because of our malice and cruelty and lack of mercy. So strive to be merciful.

And that's a different scenario, in that scenario you could be in mortal danger.

Where does it say we only ate plants?

Genesis 1:29

We only ate meat after the fall

I don't see any mention that animals were not allowed to be eaten

The fact we only ate flesh after the fall of man.

Only?

Yes, only.

In Eden we didn't eat Animals

Before the flood we didn't

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
