Subject: Food before the Fall |
Bible Note: Thanks Nolan, It is unknown whether "many kinds of plants and animals were lost forever in the flood." I think we should more carefully say, however, that we have fossil evidence of plants and animals we no longer see today. Whether these actually became extinct in the Flood instead of sometime afterward is speculation. You are right, though. The pre-Fall diet for man and animal was not just pre-Fall. It did not change until after the flood. Also the pre-Flood vegetarian diet is different from today's vegetarian diet, isn't it? The pre-Flood diet did not include under water vegetation (seaweed), nor seedless land vegetation like mushrooms. Do potatoes have seeds? I think that in the age to come we will be neither omnivorous nor vegetarians. Our resurrection bodies will have no stomachs. 1 Cor 6:13 Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. Peace, Lionstrong, a.k.a. LooseCannon |
