God made animals to help us. He is fine with that. Even Jews ate meat... certain meat anyway. He is not displeased with you. Trust me, it's okay. That gut feeling might be satan trying to tear you down. I don' know, I'm not God, but that's my guess. You are Bi, thinky uo are hott and sexy, and you are worried about eating meat that's already dead anyway??? OMGosh! How crazy is that?

I think before the flood, everyone was vegetarian, but afterwards because the vegetation had died, God told us we could eat meat. I believe in the 1,000 year reign of Christ, we will again be vegetarians.

Isaiah 11:

6. The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling [a] together;
and a little child will lead them.

7. The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra,
and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest.

9. They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD
as the waters cover the sea.

Every living creature on this Earth do have that spark of divinity within them and each has a reason for being in existance. We may not understand that reason because of our limitations, however, that God force is in every living thing.
If you have that gut feeling, then you should refrain from eating meat for the divinity within you is guiding you to the right idea of living.
Another reason is if you subscribe to the laws of karma and reincarnation, then understand that all living things have to go through this and to each, working out there karmas to eventualy attain human form then merge into oneness with the Supreme. When you contribute to the killing or taking of a life, you would have interupted that animal's karma and therefore you would incur that karma upon yourself, its like sinning if you want to put it that way.
Our purpose here on Earth is to eliminate all our karmas to be in merged oneness with Him.
It is for this reason most Hindus do not eat meat. However, meat eating is not liked by the Supreme in any religious beliefs. It just not right.

Answer: Eating pork was indeed prohibited under the law. Leviticus 11:7 states, "And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you." However, we are not under the same restrictions today. In 1Timothy 4, Paul warns Timothy of seducing spirits who will be teaching doctrines of devils in the last days. Of them he states:

1Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

This passage clearly teaches that no meat is prohibited today. It is not unclean because it is "sanctified" (made clean) by the word of God and prayer. It is true that most cultures have certain meats that they will not eat. But this is not God's prohibition. I tell people that if they can thank God for it (1Timothy 4:4), then they can eat it. Pork is not prohibited by the Bible for believers today. In fact, the Bible teaches that those who teach it to be wrong to eat certain meats are actually teaching doctrines of devils. We need to be careful to stay away from such false teaching.

Girl, you're over-anthropomorphizing our furry friends.

But that aside, you don't need a religious reason NOT to eat meat.

Here's a bit of admittedly immature, yet effective, advice. The next time your mother forces meat down your throat, throw up. I'm sure it will be easy for you; just think about what you've said here.

Granted you should explain your feelings to her first. If she still insists, that's when you start barfing.

There's no reason you NEED to eat meat. There are other sources for protein. Don't ask me where, but there is tons of info out there about being vegetarian.

In the Bible it often talks about God asking to prepare a savoury meat and feast upon it. It is not bad to eat meat. If you feel so strongly you should explain to your mother that you prefer not to eat it and become a vegetarian. There is nothing wrong with that.

You have been very well indoctrinated by the mass marketeing of so many movies and tv shows that try to make animals into humans... Animals are God's provision for us in this fallen mortal world. They are for us to use. We are to use all of the resources God provides... we are to do so wisely... and in that man has failed... But we are to eat of all that God provides.... there is enough variety that you do not have to eat that which you do not like the taste of... but if you are hungry and all there is to eat is a hamburger... you do not need to feel guilty about it...

They are not like us. God made them to be our food. And they are delicious. Cows, chickens, pigs, etc. don't have families, they don't have feelings, they don't know about death. The Bible tells us again and again that it's not only alright to eat meat, but it's a downright good idea.

in case you're Christian, then you certainly suspect God made us the way we are, ergo he needed us to consume meat. If he did no longer, we does not have the right the teeth or digestion equipment to handle meat. in spite of the undeniable fact that, I do have a concern with killing animals for food (i'm no longer a vegetarian, so freely admit that my view is hipocritical). If I had to kill my very own animals instead of purchase them already prepped, i do no longer think of that i might have the skill to do it. no longer becuase of a non secular perception, yet via fact I in basic terms could no longer deliver myself to do it (Even in an emergency i might exhaust each and every berry or twig stash i'd desire to locate earlier i might in my opinion kill an animal for food). Killing animals for food is a component of nature. There are animals that are carnivores, animals that are herbivores, and people who (like us people) are omnivores - it rather is not sin, it rather is in basic terms nature. i do no longer in basic terms like the killing of any creature, yet i know that some issues could die so as that others can stay - that may not a sin, it rather is in basic terms the circle of existence. you're remarkable, as people we do have a call, yet in spite of the undeniable fact that, I do think of it rather is precisely that, a call, no longer a non secular mandate.

Eating meat is not a sin. Eating scavengers is a sin against the flesh; like pork, shrimp, crab....etc.

Leviticus 11.
