1 | So she should only be eating fruit? | Gen 2:16 | tmj | 152298 | ||
So if she is to take the bible literal, she should only be eating food that comes form the trees not soy milk and vegan burgers etc or even ground bearing vegitables or roots? Correct? Do you believe they had fire? She also thinks every thing should be raw but I know she uses her stove. | ||||||
2 | So she should only be eating fruit? | Gen 2:16 | Songbirdca | 152303 | ||
Clearly, God intended for mankind to be vegetarian as you can see from the following verses and note that it's not just fruit, but "every seed-bearing plant". Genesis 2:9 says this: And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Then in Genesis 2:16,17 it says: And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; (17) but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." In Genesis 1:29 this is what God intended for Adam and Eve to eat. 29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. Even the animals were to be vegetarian as noted in this verse from Genesis 1:30. "And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so. |

Greetings Songbirdca, It must be remembered that in the first days of this new creation herbs and trees were plentiful. Animals were only beginning to multiply and be fruitful. If Adam started eating meat at the first he would destroy and make extinct certain species; and as God had plans for the survival of man so He must also make plans for the survival of the animals. Remember that these were of the first days of creation and as such we must look at these things in that light. Did God give the giant whale teeth to eat with or does it strain plankton and brine shrimp? Did He give the eagle the hooked beak and strong talons to hold onto grain only? Or did God know that these things, over time, would be needed for survival? Just as He knew that in time man would eat meat: (Genesis 9:3 NASB) "Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. (Genesis 9:4 NASB) "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. It is ominous for us to say what God's intentions were. In reading Job 38-41 God expresses Himself to man. And in the end we must replay with: (Job 42:1 NASB) Then Job answered the LORD and said, (Job 42:2 NASB) "I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. (Job 42:3 NASB) 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' "Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know." (Job 42:4 NASB) 'Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.' (Job 42:5 NASB) "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; (Job 42:6 NASB) Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes." And let us not forget: (1 Timothy 4:1 KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1 Timothy 4:2 KJV) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (1 Timothy 4:3 KJV) Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (1 Timothy 4:4 KJV) For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (1 Timothy 4:5 KJV) For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.(ref. Gen 9:3) In love, terrib |

Terrib, I agree with you. But how can a perfect world (Eden) have included meat-eating? It seems wrong somehow. | ||||||

Greetings Songbird, Genesis 3:21 When Adam and Eve sinned it changed the whole dynamic of everything spiritually and physically.The connection they had with God was broken.Then there was physical death.Blood had to be shed to cover their sin.Before the fall there is no indication of any kind of meat eating.We dont see it until after the fall. In Christ, lionheart |
