you misunderstood me or perhaps I did not express myself clearly. sorry if that.
but
I do NOT want to get into a “Vegetarianism” debate.
I am not a vegetarian myself.
Get a vegetarian to debate you on vegetarianism.
Thank you.
notes... I will only note a few Biblical indications, verses you may wish to consider.... and when a real vegetarian reads this perhaps s/he can do a much better job. I am only listing these because they come to mind, is all... to try to be helpful for you.
Please do not debate me about this because this is really not my topic. You deserve a real vegetarian, or a student of Bible that has studied this question. Thanks!
In Genesis, God initially gave man plants to eat, only, for his food.
Later as the story unfolded, God added animals to the diet. You can debate the meaning of these verses with a vegetarian but I am confident s/he will interpret them to mean that God prefers us to eat vegies and that He only added meat as became necessary due to changed conditions.
Isaiah predicts the Messiah will eat butter and honey, no meat mentioned. Also in Isaiah, God says He gets no pleasure from man killing animals (even?) for sacrifices
Romans 14 teaches that it is better not to eat meat (or drink wine or do anything else that will cause any man to stumble, a key Pauline theme in Scripture)
there’s more but I just recalled the above from memory, which is rapidly ebbing into very short supply as I approach my terminus in this life, ha! For anything further, let’s please (both) wait for a real Bible expert who has studied this question. THANKS! All the best, fhc
So Jesus supplied fish to the masses because he though fish were vegetables?
