In Gods initial and ideal world, represented in the book of Genesis by the Garden of Eden, there was no suffering, no exploitation, and no violence at all.
God said, See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth,
and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth,
and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food. And it was so. God saw everything that he had made,
and indeed, it was very good.
Genesis 1:29-31
The consumption of animal flesh was unknown up until the great flood. But since the great flood,
we have had the fibres and the stinking fluids of animal flesh stuffed into our mouths...
Jesus, the Christ, who appeared when the time was fulfilled, again joined the end to the beginning,
so that we are now no longer allowed to eat animal flesh.
Hieronymus (331-420)
Peter
I live on bread and olives, to which I only seldom add a vegetable.
Clementine Homilies XII, 6; rec. VII, 6
(Adversus Jovinanum 1:30)
Matthew
Matthew lived on seed, the fruit of trees and vegetables without meat.
Clemens of Alexandria,
Paidagogos II, 1:16
John
John never ate meat.
Church historian Hegesipp according to Eusebius,
History of the Church II 2:3
Jacob
Jacob, the brother of the Lord, lived on seeds and plants and touched neither meat nor wine.
Epistulae ad Faustum XXII, 3
In the earthly paradise, there was no wine, no one sacrificed animals and no one ate meat.
As long as one lives frugally the luck of the house will increase; the animals will be safe;
no blood will be shed, and no animal will be killed.
The cooks knife will be useless; the table will only be set with fruits which nature offers to us,
and one will be satisfied with that.
From the epistles of Basilius the Great (329-379)
Jesus' message is about love and compassion, but there is nothing loving or compassionate at factory farms and slaughterhouses, where billions of animals endure miserable lives and die violent deaths.
If Jesus lived in our culture of violence, he would do everything he could to confront the structures of death and call for a new culture of peace and life.
Hosea: "I desire mercy and not sacrifice."
HOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MISLEAD...THEY SHOULD USE THEIR COMMON SENSE JESUS WAS A PURE DEVOTEE OF GOD

This is silly. You do not know what Jesus ate...Period. The Bible was written by people that were not even around when Jesus was here. Parts of the Bible are a lie anyways. There is no Hell. This is just a pro Vegan Post. Stop worrying about other people and get your own house in order. I don't agree with the slaughter of animals either, but fish are fine to eat. We live in the 3rd density and need certain foods to live. There are those that live where there are almost no veggies. Are they supposed to eat nothing? You eat according to the density in which you live. In some you eat nothing, but get your nourishment from light. Guess what, people that have been wrecked where there is no food wound up eating the dead..........You tell these starving children that live where there are no vegetables that they can't eat meat. What would you allow them to do KK? To die??? Is it then okay for them to eat meat? Please answer this.
Well said JustaV6!!
I love when they say vegans arent violent,. too bad they havent researched anything like the fact that roman gladiators were vegan, :)
Ask these fish why are fish fish?
Love the fish otherwise squish
So eating fish isnt murder? Where is the line of living thing for food not being murder anymore? fish? plants? insects? this is stupid.
No, all life is precious, and arbitrarily deciding fish are less than other animals is not your decision to make and you cannto even prove that those beings are less vibration than you.
It is ok to eat from the sea but not land, ok to eat from plants but not animals blah blah blah. ACTUALLY it is ok to eat anything you want to eat, as long as you give respect to the cosmos for providing you with sustenance for the day.
I thought you were well balanced but this last few days you have been saying things that show that you are not thinking about things from any other view than the one you have.
God only knows what Jesus ate.
Let each person decide for themselves.
@DCERON..NO SHIT!..:-)
...The religion of Jesus was wholly based on the living of his bestowal life on earth. When Jesus departed from this world, he left behind no books, laws, or other forms of human organization affecting the religious life of the individual...-Urantia
Remember who you are talking about.
Nice comment DCERON...Jesus did no harm to any living entity
