1 | Animals in the New Testament? | Prov 12:12 | MWLaine | 187377 | ||
Lionheart, stjohn, and others, All of you who have helped in my edification on this issue deserve thanks. You are all my family members in Christ and as my family members I expected and recieved help on thrashing through what was happening in my spiritual life based on a disagreement with my sister over an animal. I had a disagreement with my sister on the length a person should go in providing Medical Attention to a pregnant cat. She had felt that the gestational period of the animal had been overshot and took the cat to a vet who wants to perform a C-Section delivery of the kittens. After delivery the vet was saying he was sure the cat is having trouble producing milk for the kittens and some alternate means of feeding them would have to occur. I responded to her that God made the animal to have kittens naturally and maybe she should just allow the cat to do what God had designed it to do. Were the cat to live or die I felt that God's Will be done. This got me called Hard-Hearted and told that anyone who would so torture or kill an animal would not slide gracefully into heaven. I don't think either of her comments were valid but Romans 14 puts me in a position in which I know I am right but why have the argument with someone who is at a different Christian maturity level. In the end I apologized for my callous words and asked "How about them Colts???". My position is known to all who have read these posts so I appreciate the call to Matthew 6:13 and Romans 14 and finally the truth that even the cats and dogs, living in the home, of a person who has found salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ benefit from the this persons new outlook on life. Well said and very edifying. |

2 | Animals in the New Testament? | Prov 12:12 | azurelaw | 187417 | ||
Dear MWLaine, After reading your posts regarding the way people treat their pets nowadays, I love to share a bit of my experience when I was a teen. We had 2 cats as our pets for my younger sister and I. We loved them very much and expressed our care for them more than caring for our mother. My mom always complained us about that. After I grew up and looked back, I really understand how my mom felt about us by that time. I understand that we made our pets our idols. Therefore, I would even say that it is wrong to pay too much attention or care to pets instead of caring people around you. Shalom Azure |

3 | Animals in the New Testament? | Prov 12:12 | gkidder | 187496 | ||
Therefore I would say that I personally don’t trust people who don’t have a love of animals. Because if you don’t have a love or respect for one of Gods lower creations how could you love one of your own kinds? | ||||||

Dear gkidder, Thanks for your feedback to my previous post. I too, like you, don't trust people who don't have a love of animals. However, if this is your perception on me that I don't love animal just base on my statement "I would even say that it is wrong to pay too much attention or care to pets instead of caring people around you." I am afraid you have drawn your conclusion too early. However, since this is a study bible forum, the discussion about animal abuse or similar issue might not be appropriate. Nevertheless, my last opinion is that keeping pets and caring them nicely at home for your own good feeling does not mean that you love them. Dressing them up like sweetie dollies, taking them to the animal salons are another way of animal abuse. Animals belong to the wild nature NOT being kept at home as PETS. Shalom Azure |
