Whether it’s right or not, Jesus was a vegan. I would better not to laugh or underestimate it if I were you. I was laughing at the same thing for years before I realized and was shown that vegetarianism is repeating advice from the Bible.<\/p>\n
I was a super meat lover. I ate almost all kinds of meats and I am a Christian, until one day there was a cancer life and death problem with my late father. Fasting was done and I chose not to eat meat as my fasting because I loved it so much. Asking His guidance every time, I almost failed the fasting, guess what? I don’t really memorize Bible, but He showed me phrases from the Old Testament to the New Testament in His way, about being a vegetarian or pescatarian (eating fish) is a much better option. I was so disappointed. Why no meat? I loved meat so much.<\/p>\n
Then I realized He never forces us to not eat meat, but He does advise us to live healthily. Looking back at how unhealthy the meats are processed in the modern era and then looking again at how well they managed meat processing in the Bible, then I can understand the point of vegetarianism advice in the Bible. All those Old Testament passages about eating vegetables and Torah ways to process meat are right. If it’s not processed well, better stay away from meat due to wrongly processed that pump up the high carcinogenic sides even though carcinogens might be in other things we use daily (shampoo, toothpaste, etc).<\/p>\n
Short story, within the life and death process of my late dad until the end, He once again showed me the survivors are those who changed drastically being vegan instead of staying with meats. Hence, I don’t laugh anymore at those who met the advice of vegetarianism in the Bible. I, in fact, stopped eating meats since then. Death is undeniable, but living healthy to keep spreading God’s words is a must. These vegans, have their own signs and journeys coming up to that point.<\/p>\n\t
What an interesting way to start: “Whether it’s right or not,” which means regardless of the actual facts, and then you follow it with a strong assertion that I’m not supposed to deny. But if I accept something that is not factual, then you are urging me to accept a lie. But you start by claiming that you don’t know what the actual facts are.<\/p>\n
Still, you made an assertion that your claim must be accepted. Therefore, it is up to you to support your claim. While you constantly state that the Bible supports your view, you present no evidence. You’re off to a bad start.<\/p>\n
Next, you claim that God showed you from phrases in the Bible that being a vegetarian or eating vegetables plus fish was a better way. One, you only have your claim that God showed you these things; thus, it cannot be evidence. Jesus himself pointed out that a witness of one proves nothing. “If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true<\/em>” (John 5:31). And once again, you can’t produce the phrases that convinced you that others might examine whether you kept these phrases (not whole passages) in the context in which they were originally written.<\/p>\n You then contradict yourself. You claim that you were shown from the Old and New Testament that God said to eat no meat but then said that the meat processing in the Bible was acceptable. Again, you make an assertion without evidence. You don’t document how modern meat processing is different from the Old Testament. You claim there are carcinogens added (contrary to Federal law in the United States), but you cannot list what they are, nor did you offer evidence that such is actually in the meat. If meat processing in the Bible is acceptable, then eating meat is acceptable. That means, at a minimum, you could raise and butcher your own meat and still be able to have the meat you liked. In other words, your conclusion that vegetarianism is the only alternative is false by your own testimony.<\/p>\n You again claim that God showed you that vegetarians live longer, but it clearly doesn’t come from the Bible. You want me to accept this, but it is offered only as your claim.<\/p>\n
