Did Jesus eat fish or other animals?

Question

To begin with, according to the Bible, Jesus never ate fish or went fishing during the entire time of his incarnation on earth. Nor for that matter, did he kill or eat any other animals.

No human being has any need to eat any animal products, without exception.To cause pain and suffering is a sin, and since animal products come for tortured and abused animals, its makes it a sin to eat those products, because the money paid for these products causes more sufferings and the purchaser a contributor to the sin.

Answer 1

not only did he encourage his disciples to fish but one of his major miracles was mutipling the loaves and fishes to feed the masses that had come to here him speak. I think that its a safe bet that he did eat fish and mutton and chicken and other meats that were typical in Israel during that time.

Answer 2

It's nice that you have rationalized your diet that way, but you seem to miss the Sermon on the Mount and the feeding the multitude loaves and fishes. This would have been very curious if he were the vegan you want to imagine.

Supposition that Jesus was vegetarian seems to derive from belief that he was an Essene and that they were completely vegetarian. Even if he did not eat animals, he almost surely used leather.

It's fine to eat the way that suits you, but it's rather pathetic to pompously declare all other points of view to be "sin" and to alter the Bible to fit your own bias. Try reading a little more history and Biblical exegesis and less PETA propaganda.

Answer 3

The Bible didn't give details about every moment of Jesus' life, that doesn't mean He didn't do anything except for what we read...we do not know if He ate meat or fish....

Lots of people didn't go fishing, that doesn't make Him strange...

He also blessed the fish given to Him by a young boy, when there was no food for the crowds to eat, and He fed the people with them, I'm sure He wouldn't have given fish to the people, if it was a sin.........

Eating meat is a personal thing, and to call it a sin, is stupid.

I agree that animals are sometimes treated cruelly for their meat, but this is not always true.....and I have a strong feeling you have just put this question - or statement really - in here to ram home your own views.....

Answer 4

since fish and other meats rot easy it is likely meat eating was limited in that place and time. I guess they would sometimes dry the fish or other seafoods.

The Bible says something about broiled fish, but that might be a mistranslation.

Lord Jesus certainly didn't eat very much with all the extreme preaching he was doing. He was preparing for early death as the sacrificial lamb.

Answer 5

It's really more about how factory farming and supermarkets have removed all the connection to bloody carcasses we are creating and the suffering of the animals. I have less objection to eating an animal that got to feel the sun on his back and smell the air in summertime instead of the ones raised in a giant shed in the dark ankle deep in feces.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Uh, Sermon on the Mount. How many did he feed with a few fish and some bread?


Take your vegan BS elsewhere.

Answer 8

He did encourage his disciples to fish, even giving them a net full of fish. I don't think he would damn them by doing this. Don't try and attach moral sensibilities on an amoral subject.

Answer 9

yes, Jesus ate fish.
