These animals are tortured in fur farms in China. It sound to me that you are just looking for a way to mold God into you world where you can teach your children to get OFF on hunting and Killing innocent animals. Shame on you please don&#8217;t use God to justify your SINS. Hope no animals hunts you all is fair in love and war! THou shall not kill!!! Love the way you raise your kids.<\/p>\n\t<h2>Answer:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>[I left the note above unedited.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It must be PETA season again. I can say this because it is PETA who claims animals are tortured in China, despite the fact that fur is a global product.<\/p>\n<p>I see that you also suffer from delusions of grandeur. You claim to know that killing animals is a sin, but you don&#8217;t want me to cite God&#8217;s word to show your error. That must mean you think you know more about sin than what God&#8217;s law defines. &#8220;<em>What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law<\/em>&#8221; (Romans 7:7). I&#8217;m sorry, but it is God who defines sin. Your opinions and mine do not count.<\/p>\n<p>The first true clothing of mankind was animal skins, given to Adam and Eve by God. &#8220;<em>Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them<\/em>&#8221; (Genesis 3:21). The coverings for the tabernacle of God was made from ram and badger skins, as per God&#8217;s instructions (Exodus 24:16). The famous prophet Elijah was known for his leather belt (II Kings 1:8), as did John the Baptist (Matthew 3:4).<\/p>\n<p>If someone prefers fake fur, that is his personal choice. But it is wrong to condemn what is not condemned by God.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!<\/em>&#8221; (Isaiah 5:20-21).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t<h2>Question:<\/h2>\n<p>you are a hypocrite, Hey maybe some alien will capture you and use your sin for cloths, you deserve it.\u00a0 IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT IT IN THE BIBLE&gt; AS a matter of fact GOD Cares for each sparrow that falls. SO HE DOES NOT LIKE PEOPLE KILLING AND TORTURING HIS CREATION&gt; READ YOU BIBLE<\/p>\n<p>It is a sin to abuse animals, I&#8217;ll see you on the day of judgement.\u00a0 I would never give you a penny.\u00a0You make me sick the way you twist A JUST GOD to support your discusting ways. No wonder people choice not to follow Christ with people like you as Christians. If I was not saved I&#8217;d run from Christianity if I thought God supported the torture of animals just so someone could use its fur.\u00a0 Fake fur is around now, it was not in the time when people used the fur for cloths.\u00a0 I quess you sacrice animals too cause it used to be done.\u00a0 I WOULD SUPPORT PETA ANY DAY AS AS TOO YOU -A SAD EXAMPLE OF A CHRISTIAN&gt;<\/p>\n<p>I AM A CHRISTIAN WHO LOVES the LORD YOU. I DOUBT YOU ARE WITH YOU ACTIONS&gt;<\/p>\n<p>but the LORD IS TO JUDGE.\u00a0 BUT YOU MAKE ME SICK&gt;\u00a0 I hope some animal does not get a hold of you, it would serve you right..<\/p>\n\t<h2>Answer:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>[I left the note above unedited.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I can almost see this poor woman foaming at the mouth.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed<\/em>&#8221; (Jude 10).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: first of all, people can where fake fur, and do not have to have animals skins.
