Bible Question: If we are to present God with an undefiled body, but eat meat knowingly filled (according to researchers) with growth hormones.. are we to say that we are defiling our bodies knowingly by eating meat? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Angel72 and welcome to the forum, Would the following verses suggest, with your train of thought, that the voice that Peter heard wanted him defiled? I realize that isn’t the primary interpretation but it would reflect a practical application in view of the command to kill and eat. Acts 10:10-16 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
