Is eating flesh by killing an innocent animal good? If its a sin then why christans eat flesh?What bible say?

Answer 1

definitely it is a sin to kill living-beings,still people do it. not only bible but every religious book preaches the same but people don't bother.

Answer 2

Before the flood nobody needed to eat the flesh of animals because the river that came out of Eden brought minerals from inside the earth to provide the abundant plant life with the nutrients necessary for the people and animals that ate of it.

Since the flood, distilled water has been falling from the sky to water the ground, and for 4000 years the minerals have been leached from the soil all over the earth creating a mineral deficient growing condition.

God knew this would happen, so after the flood, God told Noah:
Gen 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. KJV

It's a FACT that vegans do not live as long as those who eat meat.

Unfortunately it's the only way we can get the vitamins, minerals, protiens and fatty acids required to be healthy.

Answer 3

It all depends on what's in your heart and mind at the time of killing an animal. Killing for food is ok. But if the intent in your heart is just to see an animal suffer and die, then you are guilty of the having the same feelings as the one who kills a human. Human life is precious because
we have a soul. Animals do not have souls. A soul is the spirit part of us that can make the choice to believe in Christ or not. I'm not sure how this applies to hunting or fishing as a hobby. There are plenty of times when animals are not used for food, but left to rot, which helps fertilize the land, or thrown back in the water, which feeds other swimming animals.

Answer 4

The Bible (Gen 1:29) says that the herbas and fruit which bear seed should be "meat". But the people couldn't follow this simple rule, and therefore the kosher rules came out. This is perhaps why the Bible is so long, because the simple rules were too hard to follow. But there is not a single culture or religion on the planet that is purely vegetarian, so it must be unsuitable for humanity.

Answer 5

Killing and eating animals for food is not a sin. The Bible describes a sacrificial system that included killing animals and this system was put in place by God. Also God gave people animals to eat on several occasions in the old and new testiment.

Answer 6

We all eat things that are killed to survive. It's better than eating them while they are still alive and generally not as messy. When was the last time you ate a cabbage head? That head was just cut from the body of a cabbage.

The Bible (New Testament) doesn't say anything against eating meat. What it does say is from Paul and it was discussing meat that had been sacrificed to pagan gods. Paul said it didn't matter really that the meat came from Pagan sacrifices. The problem came from what someone else thought about it. And that was really their problem.

Answer 7

It speaks in the bible of flesh eating. The parable of the prodigal son is one such. It tells us that the son's father had the fatted calf butchered for a feast. And God told Peter on the roof, eat and Peter replied he could not because it was unclean, and God told him that all He had made was clean. Why else would God have given dominion over all the beasts of the field, the fowls in the air, and the fish in the sea?

Answer 8

The flesh that Catholic Christians eat is the body of Christ as said in John 6:53-55,"Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink."

Answer 9

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so. -Genesis 1:29-30

The Bible does not condemn eating of animals, quite the opposite.

Also animals are neither innocent nor guilty of sin because only man which is created in Gods image is capable of sin. Animals are many things, our food, our pets, our enemies at times, but God has made it clear that we are in charge of them. Not only to rule, but to take care of and be a good steward of, same goes for the earth!

Answer 10

Christians follow a religion whose entire foundation is based on a mythical blood sacrifice. If they have no problem with the slaughtering of Jesus and eating his flesh, Why would they think slaughtering animals is a sin?

Answer 11

The Bible doesn't prohibit the eating of animals. The Jewish faith still believes that some animals are unclean and therefore should not be eaten. Somewhere, can't find it now, it talks about not eating meat if the blood has not been drained from it though.
