According the the bible you should eat meat

[IloveMeat]

Genesis 9:3, "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you".
1 Timothy 4:4 in the New Testament, the Apostle Paul states that "God created them [meats] to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth"
Jesus himself ate meat, including fish at the Last Supper and a Passover lamb

That was permission given after the flood when plants were scarce.

Was this just a random thought you had or were you reading the Bible and came across the verse?

EVERY moving thing? Well we've got loads of woodlice and ants in the garden, so that's dinner sorted!

So?

The Bible says a lot of things, if you follow it to the letter you'll be wandering around in a burlap sack, with a hefty side beard, kissing everyone you meet, and yes, eating meat, but certainly not bacon or prawns. What's your point?

Agree with @superbakedpotato , what's your point? Also, why are you getting lifestyle tips from the Bible. Are vegetarians & vegans sinners?

Good point, also, my husband moves a lot. Wonder if he'd go better with gravy or parsley sauce? 🤔

The bible was written a very long time ago, before factory farming became a thing and livestock started being injected with all sorts of nasty substances.

Would you also follow child rearing advice that was written 2000 years ago?

So do you live 100% the way it says in the bible? Or pick and choose which bits you follow?

Are vegetarians & vegans sinners?

Hardcore fundie types think so. And those who practice yoga are communicating with devils!

We have an excellent local steak house. God would approve.

When the bible was written, life expectancy was much shorter. Now medical research has come along significantly and we know a sausage a day is going to shorten your life expectancy by biblical standards.

It's animals fault for tasting so good!

This is the section of MN where we discuss lifting heavy weights for fun. Of course I suppose we could quote biblical texts at the same time.

But @IloveMeat is a spammer .

Moving things you say?

-eyes up my fat cats- hmmm

Doesn't it also say you need to release two doves at the end of your period

And you get to have sex with your father to repopulate the world. Lovely book. Perfect to read while weightlifting.

Ooh damn, I forgot to do this last month 😬🤣🤣

Let’s all do it!

You are allowed to eat is different from you should eat

There also wasn’t a climate emergency at that time

The bible was early law and designed to simply put the fear of god in you to force you to comply, with the threat of punishment in the after life if you sinned (broke the law)

Hence why there’s different religions (laws) in different countries

According to the Talmud from Adam to Noah people practiced vegetarianism. Many pious Jewish rabbis since Medieval times have promoted vegetarianism as a biblical ideal.

The New Testament teaching is that you can eat meat if you want, but it’s not compulsory!

The choice is yours.
