Is cannibalism a sin?

Question

I don't think it's mentioned in the bible. And if so, then why did god make man out of meat?

Not killing and eating, just eating human flesh.

Answer 1

You can eat my liver with a nice chianti, otherwise, you're going to hell in a handbasket.

Answer 2

All life is sacred all life feeds on life,.
Vegatitians eat sacred life that just cant run away.
Its not a sin when a cannibal eats another cannibal. They know what there doing and they know there is no death,
Its A sin for me. Unless the flesh is of my God. Bread or Flesh? To a God whats the differance, ALL life is sacred.
To us well eating brians makes people nuts not good for society.

Answer 3

If you kill the person to eat him or murder him for another reason or if other sources of protein are available and one is not starving(at least potentially) then cannibalism is banned and wicked.
Cannibalism is contrary to kosher/kashrut laws of the Torah and Prophets.

Jesus was accused of teaching cannibalism in John 6 and when He would not say that the whole "eat my flesh" thing was just poetry and metaphor many abandoned Jesus.
The ancient and constant Christian tradition and interpretation of John 6 were that Jesus actually does give His Body and Blood to eat under the sign of bread and wine.

! Cor II also more than implies that Communion is a literal communion with Christ actually and truly present under the forms/signs/species/chemistry of the consecrated bread and wine

Answer 4

That depends....

Who are you planning on eating?

If its me, then yes, it is a sin, a really, really big, bad sin.

If its George W. Bush, then no. In fact, I think it would pretty much be the opposite of a sin...

Actually, from a Biblical standpoint, I think it is acceptable for Christians to eat any sort of meat as long as it has not first been sacrificed on the altar of a pagan god. So, as long as the person wasn't sacrificed to a pagan god, then bring out the A1 sauce and steak knives :)

Its also OK if you only do it by accident. So, after you finish devouring your next neighbor, don't forget to say "oops".

Answer 5

This is a question Christianity struggled with from the beginning. You are not the first to ask it. The Church has been pretty much unanymous that in exigencies of survival, the recourse to eating human flesh is not a sin.

Answer 6

I don't know. But did you know that the Mexican dish, pozole was originally made from stewed human flesh? it was only after Spanish priests suggested the natives should use pork instead. Did yo know pork and human flesh are very simlar in texture and flavor?

Answer 7

Why would you even ask something as insane and depraved as this?

That's frighteningly sick and I think you should solicit yourself to be eaten on the internet if you wanna know so badly. Since this happened to a man in Germany, somebody there just might take you up on it.

Answer 8

I would agree that if you are murdering people, just for a new dinner entree- then it is probably a sin. But in certain circumstances- for survival reasons, and the person is already dead- I am sure it is OK to partake.

Answer 9

it particularly is unlawful at first. And as for being a sin, i think of in case you would be able to desire to consume the lifeless to stay, like those adult men interior the snowy mountains years in the past, this is okay through God. yet to kill a guy just to consume him is a sin.

Answer 10

Of course they mention it (Mark 14:22, John 6:48).
