Even if Jesus existed, why did he last eat herbs and fruit?
Question:
Wrong on ALL counts.
So if he did exist, and some doubt it now, why did he lastly eat herb and fruit , reiterating genesis 1/29--perhaps he really was veggie -YOU don't know You obviously don't understand communion then.
And god allowed carrion when he spoke to Noah, I am sure. Any fool with a microscope can see blood corpuscles still present in the flesh of bled animals.
So why don't you hypocrites join the throat-cutting moslems, the animals only endure agony for 8 minutes after a life of captivity and unhappiness down on the farm.
Think about it, and enjoy your FLESHPOTS that Isaiah mentioned, and whose words you also twist, you mental retard. Take all your little kids to the slaughterhouses and farms then- no doubt you''ll one day have a real good long look when you are in your purgatory, and deservedly feel the suffering that the goodspirit feels for the creatures.
Let these words stay in you stupid brain.

[I decided not to edit this particular note because it does such a wonderful job illustrating the ignorance of some animal rights activists. This note comes as a rebuttal to the article "Was Jesus a Vegetarian?"]
It makes me wonder why you feel the need to justify your position by the Scriptures when you clearly neither know them or believe in them. Are you so lacking in foundation in your beliefs that you grasp at anything, including things you disbelieve, to give credence to your position? It appears I did a sufficient job in rebutting the vegetarian stance in regards to Jesus because you seem to be only left foaming at the mouth.
"Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood" (Genesis 9:3-4).
You imply that there is a contradiction here in that it is impossible to completely remove all blood from the meat. But none actually exists. The terms of this covenant did not require complete removal of all blood. It required two things: The eating of blood as a food source directly was completely forbidden. And, second, any butchering method that purposely left large amounts of blood in the meat was forbidden. This can be seen in the rules given to the Israelites.
"And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, 'No one among you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who dwells among you eat blood.' Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who hunts and catches any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust; for it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, 'You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.' And every person who eats what died naturally or what was torn by beasts, whether he is a native of your own country or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. Then he shall be clean. But if he does not wash them or bathe his body, then he shall bear his guilt" (Leviticus 17:10-16).
"However, you may slaughter and eat meat within all your gates, whatever your heart desires, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, of the gazelle and the deer alike. Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it on the earth like water" (Deuteronomy 12:15-16).
"If the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, then you may slaughter from your herd and from your flock which the LORD has given you, just as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your gates as much as your heart desires. Just as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you may eat them; the unclean and the clean alike may eat them. Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat. You shall not eat it; you shall pour it on the earth like water. You shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and your children after you, when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD" (Deuteronomy 12:21-25).
The same rules were given to Christians.
"For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell" (Acts 15:28-29).
Speaking of twisting words, Isaiah doesn't mention fleshpots. And the last thing mentioned is Jesus eating fish and bread, which he cooked himself and ate with his disciples. "But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught." Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are You?" --knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead. So when they had eaten breakfast ..." (John 21:8-15).
Response:
Sincere apologies for the abusive language, and thank you for writing despite this.
Very sad about the closed doors between people and farm animals, and between people and laboratory animals; millions, billions or trillions of them. Perhaps it is only anthropomorphism.
