I am not going to spend the time on pointing out the contradictions and major flaws in your ‘bible-based’ theories about why animals may be hunted,slaughtered and consumed at our peril, for the entire article and your reasoning is so deraged that it would probably be a waste of time.<\/p>\n
Just for the record: Adam and Eve did not excist.It is a fable therefore God most certainly did not dress them in animal skins! If you accept Adam and Eve as real then you reject the Darwin theories about evolution I suppose.Only recently the Church of England apologised for rejecting these theories all these years! They had NO option for the evidence of evolution is just too overwhelming and made them look like fools rejecting it.<\/p>\n
Accepting,like the Christian churches have,that man is an evolved animal ,then ,based on your arguments, humans are free for the taking aswell: to be murdered,consumed and skins used as clothing !<\/p>\n
The only message that can be derived from your rediculous arguments is that you have no knowledge how\u00a0man and other species have developed and are still developing.Evolution is a constant.<\/p>\n
Did you know that the chimpanzees DNA is almost identical to that of human animals…96% the same as humans. You would argue it is fine to kill these beings for God gave you permission.<\/p>\n
Your article is ill informed,irresponsible and promotes the murder of innocent souls.<\/p>\n
If there is a God of love,he most certainly would not support you! Love is not selective.<\/p>\n
PS: ACCORDING TO YOUR BIBLE,ADAM AND EVE COVERED THEMSELVES WITH LEAVES…NOT ANIMAL SKINS!!!<\/p>\n\t
Note: I left this note unedited.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
An assertion is mere emptiness without evidence. Since you didn’t back up your assertions, you made no point.<\/p>\n
Evolution is an unproven theory that has been losing ground over the years. See: Science’s Rejection of Evolution<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0The Evolutionist’s Creation Story, Inspired by Naturalism<\/a>. That a dying religion is trying to be accepted by the secular world wants to accept evolution does not mean evolution is true, it only means another group has been duped into believing a lie.<\/p>\n
You are correct. Accepting the Bible as truth, including the account of Adam and Eve does mean a rejection of Evolution. You assert that it is a myth, but again offer no evidence that your assertion is true.<\/p>\n
You do show repeatedly that you do not know what the Bible says. Acceptance of animals as food does not lead to acceptance of men as food because the Scriptures teach that man is not an animal. “Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every beast I will require it. And from every man, from every man’s brother I will require the life of man. Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man<\/em>” (Genesis 9:3-6).<\/p>\n
The DNA argument between men and chimpanzees was disproven quite a while ago. There are people who claim that having similar chromosomes makes two creatures closely related to each other. But that is assuming<\/em> that one thing evolves from another — an assumption that has never been proven. Yet, what if two creatures came from the same designer, would you not expect things with similar functions to contain similar genetic codes? Here are some articles to consider:<\/p>\n

- Human-Chimp Similarities: Common Ancestry or Flawed Research?<\/a><\/li>\n
- Of Apes and Men: Chromosome 2 in Humans and the Chimpanzee<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Since you do not accept the Scriptures, your argument that using animals for food is a murder of innocent souls holds no water. You can’t prove that animals have souls. You don’t believe in souls. You don’t believe in a prohibition against murder, since that comes from God’s laws. And your argument condemns all the meat-eating animals in nature. Why do you attempt to impose a rule on men that you refuse to impose on all other animals if men are nothing more than animals as you wish to claim?<\/p>\n
Finally, you reject the concept of God by wanting to claim that God supports your line of reasoning. You can’t have it both ways.<\/p>\n
Oh, and “The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them<\/em>” (Genesis 3:21).<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
