Besides addressing her views on the McCain campaign and the media, Palin, a passionate Alaskan hunter, takes aim at vegetarians. Palin states, If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
The sacrifices of animals came AFTER the fall of man and sin. God never intended for man to kill animals or eat meat or for animals to be sacrificed. This was a result of SIN which he did not intend.
Those sacrifices were “shadows” pointing to the supreme Sacrifice of his son. It wasn’t to tell people to go out and gorge on dead animals for supper. There was meaning in the daily sacrifice of the lamb......to show you what Sin causes and that only blood can remove sin......the Blood of the lamb.....the lamb of God.......Jesus.
Some of you people are really stupid.......and no I am not a liberal.....I am a conservative Seventh day Adventist.....I just happen to read and study the Bible a lot.......
Seventh day Adventists are typically vegetarians and they’re educational institutions are second to none......they make the best doctors and surgeons (my opinion)......which means they ace Organic Chem and Calculus......u did too right?
Let me help you with Cain and Abel’s sacrifice. First, it has nothing to do with God’s original intended diet. Read Genesis before the Fall, his creation and his designated diet.
As for the sacrifice, Abel brought the blood because for the remission of Sin, only blood is accepted. Not fruits...not work....that is what separates true Christianity from all other religions.....our works , our fruits do not save.....only the blood of Jesus does.......that is why God did not accept Abel’s “fruit”..his works.....our works are never good enough.....God’s law demands PERFECTION..7/24/360......Only Jesus had that........
All this has nothing to do with what God’s intent was for diet......fruits, nuts, grains, and veggies.....read your Bible....
In the beginning, man ate green plants. After the fall, man ate the flesh of animals.
When God walked among us as Jesus, He ate the pass over meal which included lamb. This means God ate meat. I don't think He has any problem with us doing so, as well.
Very good.....the Bible is about restoration.....this world will be restored ,......read Isaiah and Revelation, etc. And what God intended will be just as he once had.......No death, no eating meat, no animals killing anything or man either......
People are funny.....they will do anything to justify filling their gut with what they want to.....they ought to be filling it with real food...the word of God......plus, their cholesterol would be a lot lower.........
Actually, Mr Gore had an endagered South American ocean fish served at his daughters wedding rehearsal dinner.
You don't expect him to live by the same rules he sets for us commoners, do you?
God is logical. When he destroyed the entire sinful world with the flood, he provided for man by allowing him to eat clean meat. We read this in the story of Noah. (kind of ruins the argument that clean meats are only for Jews too since Noah was thousands of years before any Jew)
God provides and improvises. Remember, he rained down simple food, manna, to the children of Israel during their wandering. But even they murmured and complained. They wanted meat like they had when they were in bondage of Egypt. God finally relents and allows it. God knows what is best for us.....he made us......a properly balanced vegetarian diet is the best diet for our bodies and minds........Seventh day Adventists are living proof........smart people.......smarter than just about anyone here.......as far as I can tell.........especially in this thread........:)
Yes, God did eat passover meal. But the original context is what did God INTEND?.....Passover came after SIN. God never intended for SIN and he never intended for Death and he never intended for Passover and he never intended for us to eat meat as Sarah Palin says.......
These are all the products of disobedience by Adam and Eve and God having to implement his provision for the remission of sin.....the slaying of the lamb......the blood to cover our sins.....
You people are funny......you make it sound as though God intended for us to fall so we could eat In N out Burgers.......LOL.....talk about morons........shallow reading of scripture......try praying for revelation and guidance before you read the Bible..if you ever read it......
XEHRpa's post reminds me of that line from Animal House...
"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"
Cain offered a plant sacrifice. Abel offered choice pieces of meat. God accepted Abel's sacrifice but rejected Cain's. It may have been that Cain didn't offer his best or his attitude about the sacrifice wasn't right, we don't know the exact reason God rejected Cain's sacrifice. Whatever the reason for the rejection, Cain grew jealous of Abel and killed him.
Where does it say in scripture that God’s people were eating meat before the flood. Please provide texts. (he can’t)
>>we don’t know the exact reason God rejected Cain’s sacrifice.>>
You need to find a better Pastor or church. God rejected Cain’s sacrifice because “Fruits don’t save”......Fruit is another word for “works” in the Bible.....(Jesus said you will know them by their fruits)......what they produce.....the result of their work.....
We are not saved by what we do.....our word.....we are saved by what Jesus did......HIS WORK......we accept this work by faith.....ALONE........that is why Roman Catholicism is wrong on this and Luther was right......
Abel’s sacrifice was accepted because he brought BLOOD...in the Judgement......dont plan on bringing your “fruit”......your “works”.....you will be lost.........Bring the Blood of Christ.....the blood of the lamb to cover your works because your works are never good enough.....and if you bring the blood....like Abel......God will accept that......
You didn’t know this?.....:)
Are you a Seventh Day Adventist?
Read Acts chapter 10, vs 9 - 16.
On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance; and he saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air.
A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!"
But Peter said, "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean."
Again a voice came to him a second time, "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy."
This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky.

You have a very paranoid little mind don’t you. I have been a “Freeper” for several years......I had another screen name before this one but I don’t need to explain any of this to your paranoid little mind.......check out some of my other posts and or responses.....as I said, I am a supporter of Sarah Palin.....but she is wrong on this......and you are what give real conservatives a bad name with your paranoia....
Devere.....I don’t think I meant that to you.....it appears you were answering someone who said I was a troll.......and I don’t believe I am eccentric.......I just happen to read the Bible a lot.......:)
Peter explains the meaning of that dream if you would just read on a bit..........Peter thought he gentiles were unclean.....God gave him a dream to show him salvation is for everyone, available to all who want it.........
God did not give Peter that dream to tell him it’s suddenly ok to go out and eat cockroaches.....which is what Lobster is in the ocean......read on a bit in Acts.........God will explain to you what that dream means........
Maybe we should make a shirt to honor this occasion!
Repeal the endangered species act, they all taste like chicken!
And watch Sierra Club members heads explode!

Odd, I've never heard a Christian use that term.
