Are you saying God condemns vegetarians?<\/a>” Didn’t do your research before you came out swinging, did you?<\/p>\nClearly I did prove that Jesus was not a vegetarian, that is why you condemned the fact that my arguments were based on the Bible. You further claimed disbelief in the Bible being true and reliable. Yet, what we know about Jesus is from the Bible. The original assertion by PETA was that Jesus was a vegetarian and they cited the New Testament for part of their reasoning. I took the same source that they used and proved their contention to be wrong. What is humorous is that though you claim that the Bible is unreliable, you are unable to keep from citing the same book in a vain attempt to prove your point. You can’t have it both ways. If the Bible is accurate enough for you to cite as a reference, then it is accurate enough for me to point out the flaws in your reasoning from that source.<\/p>\n
Of course, your knowledge of that book is weak. You state that Jesus revived animals, yet such does not appear in the pages of the New Testament. I showed from the Bible that Jesus ate lamb and fish. He instructed his disciples to catch fish and to butcher a lamb for the last Passover feast. He even caught fish and cooked them for breakfast.<\/p>\n
You acknowledge that Jesus is God’s Son. Then clearly Jesus would not teach contrary to God, including God’s covenant with mankind through Noah. “Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs<\/em>” (Genesis 9:3). Jesus taught his disciples and they would not contradict what their teacher instructed. “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving<\/em>” (I Timothy 4:1-4).<\/p>\nClearly Christianity allows butchering, cooking, and eating of animals for food. Your whining against it does not change the fact. If you wish to eat only vegetables, that is your business. If you want to argue that Christians ought to follow your made-up religious beliefs, that is my business. Your falsehoods have been exposed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
