People are really bashing the Bible and Jesus’ teaching in attempting to forbid the eating of meat
Question:
I'm a hunter who's also a Christian and I see no problem with providing food for my family. People are really bashing the Bible and is twisting Jesus' teachings to their liking. I read the 'Was Jesus a Vegetarian?' and I loved it!
Answer:
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, there are all sorts of people spouting all sorts of ideas. Somehow evidence or proof takes a backseat to personal opinion. But Peter warned of such people: "Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation -- as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen" (II Peter 3:14-18).
