    What do you think about fish sacrifices?

    “Meat offered to idols, blood and things strangled”… i.e, all meat.

    You can believe you are the superior species and that God does not care about the animals, but scripture tells us otherwise. We also know that if the bees vanished the Earth would Deteriorate, but if humans vanished the Earth would Flourish. We are not that important.

    Confusion

    Ed said:

    2) All meat is bled properly at modern slaughter houses

    Ed, go to your fridge, pull out some meat and slice it in half, do you see any blood?

    Hi Miia,

    It is not talking about that, nor is it talking about eating stake rare.

     

    Says Ed. But what does God say?

    I am undecided about fish.

    Jesus ate fish.

    So you are confused about the fact that bees are more important to the survival of the planet than humans?

    Hi Ed.

    Humans do nothing but pollute and destroy the planet. The Earth would flourish without us. But even then it’s probably too late because we would leave behind our nuclear weapons, etc.

    Hi Miia,

    So God openly tells us to kill and eat animals, but he secretly is telling us not to.
    And openly tells us the earth is going to abide forever, but secretly telling us it won’t.

    Your ideas are getting stranger and stranger ???

    Hi Ed,

    No. Scripture tells us that God did NOT say to sacrifice animals (Jeremiah 7:22 etc). Have you never heard of people who attach God to everything they do claiming God told them to do this and that. They followed their own schemes and the nations around them. God sent Jesus to lead them away from animal sacrifices done in God’s name, and he became the bread and the wine, and destroyed the temple.

    And yes the Earth is going to be destroyed, as scriptures tell us. But that is off topic.

    My ideas are getting stranger according to your opinion? No. Some things are just making sense now.

    God told us to subdue the earth but also will judge those who destroy it. And while the earth is precious and as guardians we should take care of it, it is also true that people are far more precious than even the earth.

    That is true t8, but is it not also true that the Earth would flourish without us, and that God also cares for the animals, as can be seen in the scriptures that tell us that not a single bird falls to the ground without the Father’s knowledge? We should each then work to change our lifestyles if we say we are believers in God. The disciples taught us what to do: that we should refrain from meat eating and sexual immorality. Those were the only two conditions given to gentiles. (Yet Paul seemed to say forget about that).

    Miia,

    Don’t listen to Lucifer whispering in your ear,
    Jesus’ disciples didn’t teach not to eat meat.

    So it’s been two months since I became vegan.

    My life has become a challenge ever since, and I take that as a positive sign.

    I have re-gained my ability to PRAY. and feel close to God again.

    I’m glad you’re doing well.

    But please don’t try to change the bible’s message 🙂

    One thing I know is that giving up (all) animal products and gaining a different understanding of some of the bible brings… not only testing times but a rekindling to God. It began for me the very moment I came to understand some scriptures and gave up eating animal products. I mean the moment… exactly. If you don’t believe me then try it. Forget what Paul said. My comfortable life has gone.

    Miia…….do you still eat fish? And if Jesus ate the passover meals, he had to eat lamb meat, right? But I also believe we eat to much meat, at times.

    Peace and love to you and yours. ………gene

    Hi Miia,

    oh no???

    “And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
    breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat
    with gladness and singleness of heart
    ” (Acts 2:46)

    Forget what Paul said.

    Hi Miia,

    Are you claiming Paul’s writings are, according to you, uninspired of God?
    Should we disregard everything The Apostle Paul said, and instead listen to you?

    Hi Miia, and Gene,

    I found I was healthiest when
    I ate meat only twice a week.
    No meat drained my energy.
