Proverbs 17:22 [NASB] A joyful heart is good medicine [lit. 'causes good healing'], But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
I'll take a 'joyful heart' over 'dried up bones' any day!
Why do you take the risk of eating murdered animals?

I love the one or ones who are helping me. Open to anything he/she/they teach. Have not read the Bible much though. Not that i have anything against it but the spiritual source have all the answers anyway.
Sorry, but your response does concern me, the spiritual realm consists of both good and evil. The ‘ ones ‘ that are helping you, imply more than one guide…….if you have not read the bible , what do you use a basis for of truth with regards to what you have encountered. Still no mention of Jesus …….I do have concerns xxI love the one or ones who are helping me. Open to anything he/she/they teach. Have not read the Bible much though.

Ah, I was wondering also, I've been to Myrtle beach when I was in the service in North Carolina. Cheers!
Have been given several names but also that there is only love. Perhaps Holy Spirit. But this does not help you to make the right choice. You just have to think deeply about risk vs reward for eating meat.
@Hej73,
Apparently you did not read Post 26 or you elected to ignore after reading it. I have copied and pasted it here.
Before sin entered the world everything created was good. Man and the animals were herbivorous. Then sin entered the world and man and animals became carnivorous.
Acts 11:5-10 reads:
5) I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
6) Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
7) And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8) But I said,, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at anytime enyered into my nouth.
9) But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10) And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
If numbers has any spiritual value in Scripture number three means perfection.
I hope this helps.

Ah . . . sitting in the reeds at Moses Lake Washington with my neighbor, pulling our limit in trout every Saturday morning, going home to fry them up for breakfast! Those were very good days!
Much love!
See, here's the thing. I've known spirit guides too. I've learned from them things I couldn't have known. But that didn't mean they were good, or had my interest at heart, or were being honest.
Making the right choice goes way beyond eating or not eating meat.
Who you choose to listen to, to tell you the Way of life, is much more vitally important! You speak of the risk of eating meat, because, what if you are wrong? This is a valid point of view, when in doubt, why risk it?
But how convinced can you be of those who speak unseen? How can you know objectively that what you experience subjectively is right? Is the spirit you are listening to telling you true?
I had to answer that question myself.
What I found was that I have an historical record of the Spirit of God speaking to men and women, and an historical record of those things all turning out to be true.
This is presented in the Bible as a means to authenticate the rest of what the Spirit of God intends for us to know. I can trust the rest is true, because everything else that can be objectively proven has been proven true. Things which prove beyond any doubt that this Bible is truly written by Someone outside this space-time continuum, Someone Who is able to see throughout the ages, and Who is able communicate with us, in ways we can verify.
How can you be certain you are not being lied to? I find that spirits which contradict the Bible aren't true.
Much love!

At this moment in time I do not intend to consider it ….i am unsure about the source of your conviction and scripture relays to me that I am allowed ( if I wish ) to eat meat. Now the whole issue of how the animals are slaughtered is something that perhaps does have to be considered.
If a Christian murdered someone would you consider that they would lose their salvation ?

Thanks. I can only reply with what my contact says though. I have no reason to listen to anyone else or read books. Dont you still consider it a risk to eat meat? Perhaps especially today with all the industrial suffering. I mean how can you know some texts are correctly understood?

God has deemed all things good to eat. Kill and eat. If we ask God to bless our food to our bodies, believing and trusting that He will...will He not?

There is more than one voice speaking to us about what is written in the Bible. There is the voice of Jesus and the voice of a stranger. Knowing the difference can be the difference between Life and death! The goats also hear things!
Are you a sheep or a goat? Who is your spiritual contact? A stranger?
His sheep hear His voice. His sheep are on His right hand while goats are on the left.
"To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers." John 10:3-5
"And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:" Matt 25:32-34
"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not." Matt 25:41-43

Have you ever read the bible? It appears you haven't. I suggest you do.
Because what appears to be morally abhorrent to you is not at all according to the bible and its the bible that is the number one moral agent.
@Backlit your a vegetarian, am i right? Id like to know your thoughts on the subject and why you became a vegetarian, if thats ok with u mate.
At the discretion of my (correction) gift of discernment that this member is promoting spiritual beliefs from other gods...not our God....I am locking this thread.
