I would like to offer to the discussion that there is NO biblical justification for being a vegetarian. I have no problem with people who choose to not the best food in the world...I just don’t like to see them claim that it is “biblical.”
I have no gripe with vegetarians. I will respect their beliefs and will not tease them by eating steak in front of them. I just wish the homos would respect my beliefs and not shove their agenda down my and my children’s throat.
Read Daniel 1. (not that I am a follower of this practice... I am a confirmed protein eater)
Christian vegetarians will call their diet the “Genesis 1:29 Diet”
“...there is NO biblical justification for being a vegetarian...”
You are right, of course. The Passover lamb was not a vegetable. Jesus ate the Passover with his disciples. Fish are also not vegetables...Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes to feed the 5,000. Milk and Honey are not vegetables...a land flowing with milk and honey. The sheet let down and Peter told to slay and eat...a sheet filled with all manner of pig, creepy things, catfish, shellfish etc (representing all the “verboten” creatures under Jewish dietary law).
