Genesis 9:3
--------------------------------------------------------------
Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to
you, as I gave the green plant.
--------------------------------------------------------------



EVERY moving thing?? That includes a lot of creepy crawlies, not to
mention our human beings.

The thought makes me kind of

****oopsie*****

I meant to say~~~ fellow human beings



I need more coffee.....

meat eaters are sucking the guts out of mother earth suck away you
compassionate wazzocks. :flesh eating
is repugnant to me no matter watt the bible says .

If God had not intended man to consume meat, He'd not have placed Golden
Arches on practically every corner of every habitated city on the face
of the Earth.

go through the golden arches and you will find god

Or at least Ronald McDonald.

i thought it was muckdonald.

Earlier on of us quoted a bit of scripture in regards to eating of meat.

That quote was ..

Genesis 9:3

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green
herb have I given you all things.
_______________________________________________________________

This was to prove that we were supposed to eat meat.

What was not included is the next paragraph

Genesis 9:4

But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye
not eat.

"The Bible says that in the earliest days of creation, all of God's
creation, including animals, were vegetarian. When God blessed Adam and
Eve in the Garden of Eden, He said to them: "I give you every
seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that
has fruit with seed in it. They will be food for you. And to the beasts
of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that
move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give
every green plant for food. And it was so" (Genesis 1:29-30).

It appears that all creation was vegetarian until after the waters of
the Great Flood receded and Noah and his family were left to replenish
the earth.

Genesis 9:1-3 says: "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them,
"Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and
dread of you will fall upon all of the beasts of the earth and all the
birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and
upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything
that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green
plants, now I give you everything."

It is interesting to note that because they didn't eat meat, it could
have been one of the reasons that Noah was able to so easily gather all
the animals into the ark--and explains why the animals did not devour
each other while they were in it.

After the flood, why did God now deem it fit for His creation to eat
each other? A possible clue that comes to mind is this: Man's wickedness
had just reached its fullness, and God had destroyed almost all of the
inhabitants of the earth because of it. That flood had somehow changed
the order of things--and it was as if Noah and his family were like Adam
and Eve, beginning things all over again, but without the innocence of
Adam and Eve. The first world, which had been created in perfection, was
ruined because of sin. For man to function in the post-flood world,
evidently God allowed for the eating meat that would become a part of
our existence. The distinguishing mark on this particular era of history
would be having to live with the blight of sin.

Because man chose to sin, he lost his proper position of authority over
God's creation; he lost it in the Garden of Eden, and then it appears
that he lost even more when God decided to flood the world because of
man's wickedness. When man lost his original position on the earth, it
caused all of creation to lose its proper position as well. And now,
everything has been tainted with the perverted character of the Wicked
One. Even certain animals must be destroyed at times because demons have
entered them. In the Old Testament, when an animal killed someone or
was vicious, it was commanded to be destroyed.

Exodus 21:28: "If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the
ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the
owner of the ox shall be quit (cleared)."

Today, some ask if it is a sin to eat meat. The Bible makes it clear
that we can eat meat, even as Jesus ate meat when He was on the earth.
Luke 24:42-43, "And they gave him (Jesus) a piece of a broiled fish, and
of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them."

In the millenium, when Jesus comes to restore this earth back to His
original plan, we will then be able to enjoy the original plans and
purposes for this earth. The animals will once again eat grass and not
each other. Man will also enjoy the original foods God made for him and
since the devil will no longer be present in this earth, all creation
will be free from the curse of sin. The wild animals will no longer
attack men. The lamb and the lion will lie down together. Man will have
no desire to hunt or kill anything. All the earth groans and awaits for
that day to come when the devil no longer roams this earth but is
chained and cast into hell along with all of his followers.

Isaiah 11:6-9:
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie
down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling
together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down
together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the
weaned child shall put his hand on the ****atrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the
sea."

Didn't God provide fish and bread to hundreds of people ...forget which
scripture/story this was.... Last time i checked fish was a meat.

Thousands..and yes, He did. And some people don't consider fish a meat,
but it has a face, doesn't it? I'd say anything with a face is "meat."

OMG..Im going to hide my dog....lol

there are many that classify themselves as vegetarians that eat seafood,
some also eat poultry.

i am not one of them.
