Bible Question: I know God ordained the killing of animals for food, but our way of doing it today is inhumane. Is it a sin not to eat meat? Are we commanded to eat meat? Did Jesus eat unclean foods and/or meat? |
Bible Answer: Dear shorty, No, we are not commanded to eat meat. No, you can choose either way, but meat is a healthy food, and helps balance your diet. No, I believe that the Lord Jesus was blameless before His countrymen. A comment: What is a humane way to kill an animal for food? This is truly in the realm of emotions. Or, perhaps there is a Bible reference to animal 'feelings' or animal 'rights?' These emotions are humanist in origin, and care must be given when assigning our hearts to a non-spiritual issue. Blessings in Christ Jesus. |
