If god doesn't want us to eat the animals, then why did he make them out of meat?

Answer 1

Actually God gave Adam dominion over all the plants and animals of the world. By that I think that man is meant to use the products of those plants and animals, including their meat.

Personally, I am not a religious person and I am an omnivore, nature designed me that way. I wouldn't like having to hunt prey for food, nor having to kill an animal. But, I have killed an eaten and animal, and if it was a matter of me or them then I would do it again.

We want our slaughter houses to be as humane as possible, and some are. Pigs and cows are stunned with a shock to the head so they don't feel the butcher's knife, fowl are killed with on quick knife stroke. Kosher butchers take special respect with the animal slaughtered and try to keep it clean.

I think the crime is when the animal is wasted, especially when the hunter just kills the animal for "sport." I also think that it is criminal to mistreat animals, and that some slaughter houses do that. Some of the reasons they do are even due to federal law.

The question isn't why God made the animals out of meat, it is why did God or evolution give us teeth so we can eat meat, and a taste for it. The reason is that humans are designed to eat meat.

Answer 2

This is a confusing question. However, if you read into the book of Daniel and John, the Bible clearly states that you should eat meat. In Daniel, he refuses the vegetarian diet of the babylonians and after a certain amount of time, is shown to be in better shape. In the book of John, GOD tells John that we can eat any meat that we desire. Also, the reason that Adam and Eve did not eat meat is that, before they sinned and were cast out of the garden, nothing could have died, so where would they get their meat?? The thing about nothing dying does not apply to plants or insects because GOD told Noah that only to bring on the ark animals that were alive, THAT HAD THE BREATH OF LIFE. Truly, insects don't breath, they absorb oxygen throught their skin. Plants do the same and are classified scientifically as a SELF-REPLICATING FOOD SOURCE.

Answer 3

He told Noah he could eat meat:

Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

N.T, Doctrine:
Timothy I 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.

See it says, MEATS, God made it for thanksgiving, also why one must thank God for the meal

Answer 4

God did not want us to eat other people, but He still made people out of meat!

Answer 5

He has no problem with us eating meat. That wasn't the original plan though. You could say that we are made out of meat too but were not made to be eaten.

Answer 6

Dustin! come on! be real! just because they're made of meat doesn't mean they could be eaten! they don't have an opinion over if they die or not! they have a life too! that's why god put them on earth! what if God didn't create the thing of eating meat, you wouldn't be eating it right now! think about eating meat before you eat an animal next time!

Answer 7

God DOES want us to eat meat. It says so in the Bible.

Answer 8

Actually, it is a current scientific/medical fad that you've confused with God.

God told us what was good for us and what was bad, and how to prepare meat and how to be sanitary.

Science will eventually agree with God, again - it always does.

Answer 9

The Christian God allows the consumption of meat. However, He strongly suggested avoiding fat and blood.

Answer 10

To which "god" are you referring? A vegitarian god? I'm not familiar with this god.

The God of the Bible commands that certain meats be eaten during the Mosaic era, so the one true God cannot be said to condone the vegitarian life absolutely. Nor are we to condemn those who prefer such a lifestyle.
