When is it not love to harm another life?​
01-26-2011​
One would think that it is never ok with God to harm to harm another life but some Christians say its ok to kill for food. But I say it never ok with God to harm another living creature. One is on side of love the other on side of himself otherwise the life of creature is more valuable than others.

Genesis 2:9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Which did God give Adam to eat “every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food” not what Adam wanted but every tree only? The Adam was to understand which were eatable and which were not and part was not to be eating because there was life in it.

“To the sight” is a figure of speech that God using to show that something has changed in the heaven and earth. A figure of speech is when brings things to our understanding to point at then so lesson is more real. Later on God gives more details of what happen in a story form that can understand.

Leviticus 3:11And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.

This is first time animals were classified as a food but did God reclassify them or was man that did that? Where animals in God’s sight when God said “every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food” yes they were so God lie or man changed God words. God cannot lie so man changed God’s words and this not the last time.

So I ask you what is love to do as you want or look out for other person needs otherwise your either a taker from others or you’re a giver to others of love. Who has the right to live animals of gas, people flesh, soil, and so on everybody has the right to life? Thank you, with love and holy kiss Roy.

We know in the restored Earth (New Heaven), the lion will eat straw like the ox. So one could only assume this restoration is due to it being like this in Eden, as you also pointed out.

1. Veggies
2. Curse lead to meat
3. Restoration leads back to veggies

Most people who question the eating of meat drop their argument when they realize Christ did so.

9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, 3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.


[font="Georgia][size="3"]Paul says teachings, like you're suggesting, are demonic. Eating meat is OK, it is simply a result of the cursed world we live in. There's a need (and therefore, a good need) to eat meat. In the New Earth when things are good again, there won't be a reason to eat meat anymore. (Don't ask me how this works- it's just what the Bible says).[/size][/font]

Genesis 1:
[sup]1[/sup]In the beginning God created theheaven and the earth. [sup]2[/sup]And the earth was without form, and void;and darkness was upon the face ofthe deep. And the Spirit of Godmoved upon the face of the waters.
the earth had to repaired
Genesis 1
:3
And God said, Let there be light:and there was light. [sup]4[/sup]And God sawthe light, that it was good: and Goddivided the light from thedarkness. [sup]5[/sup]And God called thelight Day, and the darkness hecalled Night. And the evening andthe morning were the first day.

[sup]6[/sup]And God said, Let there be afirmament in the midst of thewaters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. [sup]7[/sup]And God madethe firmament, and divided thewaters which were under the firmament from the waters whichwere above the firmament: and itwas so. [sup]8[/sup]And God called the firmament Heaven. And theevening and the morning were thesecond day.

who day God or man because a different

There's nothing wrong with eating meat. Nothing whatsoever. Jesus ate fish in this NT account.

Luke 24:36-43 (NKJV)
[sup]36 [/sup]Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you." [sup]37 [/sup]But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit. [sup]38 [/sup]And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? [sup]39 [/sup]Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." [sup]40 [/sup]When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. [sup]41 [/sup]But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, "Have you any food here?" [sup]42 [/sup]So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. [sup]43 [/sup]And He took it and ate in their presence.

Yes, I noticed the OP ignored my question...
If it's unloving to eat meat then Jesus was unloving.

Of course his logic doesn't stand up against itself hence the evasion to my question.

Duckbill - then he did eat but let the fish had already begin to turn to dust again

TexUs - Jesus Christ got a promise from the Fish that was dead, the oxygen he needed, the water that he needed and so on that it was ok because life add left that matter

When you show where the love is in it because love taking from others so you can live

oxygen has less right to live than us? no
your for getting the verse God is love

Rom 1:[sup]27[/sup]And likewise also the men,leaving the natural use of thewoman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error whichwas meet.

who did God gave who up everybody that sins
[sup]Rom 1:29 [/sup]Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, [sup]30[/sup]Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,inventors of evil things,disobedient to parents, [sup]31 [/sup]Without understanding, covenant breakers,without natural affection,implacable, unmerciful: [sup]32 [/sup]Who knowing the judgment of God, thatthey which commit such things areworthy of death, not only do thesame, but have pleasure in themthat do them.
God give us the Law to slowing edge back in right direction
but were commanded in the Beginning not to eat meat which I do but its wrong of me

God told Peter to "kill and eat" animals. There is nothing wrong with doing so.

Acts 11:4-9 (NKJV)

[sup]4 [/sup]But Peter explained it to them in order from the beginning, saying: [sup]5 [/sup]"I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me. [sup]6 [/sup]When I observed it intently and considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. [sup]7 [/sup]And I heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter; kill and eat.' [sup]8 [/sup]But I said, 'Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.' [sup]9 [/sup]But the voice answered me again from heaven, 'What God has cleansed you must not call common.'

Genesis 1:29-30 (NKJV)
[sup]29 [/sup]And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. [sup]30 [/sup]Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so.

So you're saying the fish that the ate were floating on the water, dead?

What about all the references to him telling them to cast their nets (to catch living fish) on the other side of the boat? If they were dead, floating on the water visibly, there'd be no need to tell them where to throw their nets.

[sup]5 [/sup]Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. [sup]6 [/sup]Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. [sup]7 [/sup]And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. [sup]8 [/sup]Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

I can't tell if you're a troll or just totally blowing off my question. I was not talking about "fishers of men".
Why would Jesus do this if they were catching dead fish?

4
Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.
