Christ and Veganism: The mask of cruelty

Fine...

 

Jesus was not a Vegan. The Bible clearly states that he ate fish and lamb.

 

In light of the teachings of Christ I feel Christians should adapt as much of a cruelty free diet as possible.

To each there own, of course. Go, eat flesh. But I will tell you this, there are ramifications to eating flesh that you might not understand.

And perhaps Christ didn't eat flesh. Rome changed a lot. It's very possible Christ was at least vegetarian.

If you believe the Bible you read today was never altered from what was originally taught and what really happened than yes you can argue that Christ ate lamb and fish.

While he fed people, and was at a passover dinner, I don't think the Bible actually speaks of Christ eating meat.

I also find it odd that a LOT of the early church fathers were vegetarian.

As I said, to each there own, i just think Christians who eat meat are not looking into their choices very well. Meat creates suffering. there are people who are starving to death today because the rich part of the world eats meat and feeds all their grain to cows that they eventually eat when in reality we could feed the world with that food and still have more than enough to go around.

Look at what factory farming does to the environment.

Dude, most Christians I know won't even read a book on the true practices of slaughterhouses or read into what eating animals does to your body because they are so hook-line-and-sinker into the whole concept that "God created us to Dominate!!!!" -

Furthermore, What Christ ate in a fishing village during Biblical times is hardly a basis for what we are to eat today. There are more than enough cruelty free products that don't involve harming animals and I think anyone who is serious with their walk with Christ would take a long heavy look at what toll the items on their plate contain.

I hate to be such a jackass, but most christians stomp around in ignorance of the consequences of their actions, creating devestation in ways that they can't imagine. Child slavery, factory farming, animal mutilation, genetic engineering ... it's all for the taking in the products most of America and the "modern" world buys.

evil if you ask me, but hey, to each there own.

 

If you'd like to fellowship with Christian vegetarians then you should check out the Seventh Day Adventist church. We are vegetarians,pacifists, and we are staunch supporters of religeous freedom/ church/state separation. Some of our founders were some of the earliest proponents of vegetarianism in the Western World. Come check them out sometime. We worship on Saturdays and we like having vegetarian potluck dinners

Morning Star Farms, Cedar Lake, Loma Linda and Worthington were all started by Seventh Day Adventists.

 

the fish and the lamb are axioms ,Jesus the Christ was in fact a vegetarian. read The Essene Gospel of Peace

 

this is great book . jesus teaches an art of healing and also recommends a diet . i've tried that diet and was quickly healed from a digestive disorder that had been going on for a year .

the diet is basically what you know as the raw veggie diet plus goat milk/cheese .

there's certain realities about goat farming . a milk goat must have a baby once a year . half of those baby goats will be male and give no milk . they are kept for a few months and then eaten . old mama goats are eventually eaten too . and the hides are useful - to make drums for instance .

 

Then there is the other diet, every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

 

all i ever heard in life was one god word . it sure was a nice word , deep and powerful . i wouldn't think to ask for anything more . i think god ain't such a wordy bird , and even so i sure wouldn't eat a talking bird . i've met only two in the woods - um.. talking birds . so - two talking birds and one invisible , rather pleasant god . this is just to say i don't mind getting blessed by the kindness of life .

yes , good food is made with kindness . best to grow your own and then a bit more for the neighbors . yes , right there in the city . oops , or do they still pave paradise and put up a parking lot ...

 

The bird is the word!

 

Everybody knows!

 

Jesus was not a vegan or a vegetarian. He ate meat. Does that mean it's wrong to be a veg*n? No. It just means you can't really justify it with the bible. Yes? No?
