Thread: The Truth About Meat and Dairy

    When I have the time (I have to go eat dinner now) and my thumb feels better, I'm going to compile these scriptures and I'll post some of them.

    But to answer your question, I think that our God-given discernment and intuition is important, and knowing the heart of God… God is merciful and loving and has a self-sacrificing kind of love. God created the animals, so obviously God loves and has mercy for His creation.

    Of course, God is sovereign and He has the right to take life as He sees fit. But I do not believe that God wants us to needlessly kill innocent animals. And I absolutely believe that factory farming and other cruel practices going on today are heartbreaking to God.
    Lily, I think that you'll find that it's probably in your interest to accept that the Bible has suffered at the hands of men through time. The older Greek and Hebrew is where you'll find the more interesting reads. And,of course, extra-biblical works of the time of Jesus do exist. These original works should not be discredited because they tell the same story in more relative language since they've never been altered to the extent of the linguistics in the Bible.

    Agreed on your latter point.

    Sneaking up on the little feller on his own turf if you're hungry and need to eat, I'd probably see it the other way, though.

    John does not say what was served but calls it a Passover meal. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage...3&version=NASB



    Lamb is an important part of a Passover meal. http://www.dummies.com/education/hol...assover-seder/
    Jesus himself was the Passover lamb. The perfect lamb of God.

    You're talking about something else, which I don't really agree with. But that's another topic.

    Yup. However, that passage is describing the literalness of the eucharist. The actual translation says "Take, eat. This is my body". Then he took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying "Drink from it all of you. For this is My blood of the New Covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins". The figurativeness of communion is strictly for non-Catholic heterodox christians.

    I don't agree with the Catholic view of transubstantiation... but that's a whole other debate. And a big controversial one, that I don't think we'll ever resolve here.

    I was talking about the view that in the specific area of flesh eating, the 'lying scribes' as mentioned in Jeremiah and other places changed God's law. (I'm not saying I believe that, btw, just mentioning that idea.) Your post seemed to be referring to a general changing of the scriptures overall, which kind of implies that none of it is trustworthy. But if that's not what you meant, please correct me.

    Oh. Well, I've said before that the Bible is trustworthy for the most part. In fact,I've said it to you, so you should already know that I don't say that the whole Bible is messed up.

    Anyway. I was just agreeing with Zip on that point that he made. I try to stay out of these threads.

    Dude, you have be repeatedly badgering Genesis quotations, while knowing that meat reference was in there? Seriously, disingenuous on your part.

    By the by, the Bible references 'meat' 85-times and 'Passover lamb' 11-times. That is a lot of conspiring for what is suppose to be the bona fide word of God.

    Great, we can all just play ignorant, fast and loose, with scripture, I will infer that the Bible condones cannibalism in its statements of drinking the blood and eating the flesh of Christ.

    Nonsense. You were the one who has blatantly ignored God's original design for food, as well as the scriptures about the future, when once again humans and animals will not harm each other. You have completely ignored God's perfect will. It's like you don't even care about that.

    You are the one who has ignored that flesh-eating is a result of living in a fallen world. You are the one who has ignored that God repeatedly states He wants mercy, and for us to do the right thing. It's like you don't even care about that.

    Are you a practicing Christian? If not, then I would rather not even discuss the scriptures with you, since your own words have made it clear that you don't care much about God's perfect will, His true heart and what the actual truth is (sometimes you have to dig deeper than what it appears on the surface.) You seem to only care about your stomach.

    You would be incorrect. Google "transubstantiation", plz.

    Besides, how much flavor is there in meat when you don't season it or prepare it a certain way? How many people would want to eat roadkill? The taste is primarily in the seasoning and the way you cook it. And believe it or not, you can get non-meat alternatives to taste that smoky, delicious way, just through the seasonings and how you cook it.
    I often eat meat without any seasoning at all! There is nothing quite so luscious as a fatty, medium rare Katahdin lamb chop.

    1. First you obscured key information pertaining to Genesis, then you discount it, all the while ignoring that there are over one-hundred other references to meat throughout the Bible.

    2. The Old Testament is no longer applicable; therefore, if God had long ago decided to change the rules of his Earthly realm then we should simply accept that for what it is and respond accordingly.

    3. Christianity is fundamentally established by the New Testament, while Sharia (The Hadith) is largely derived from the Old Testament.

    4. Jeremiah 31:31–32: “’Behold, days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,’ declares the Lord”

    Weak answer is weak. The theology of transubstantiation isn't even based on Genesis. It's from Matthew 26:26-27. If you want to talk prefigurement of Christ in the OT, that's a different matter.
