First, when it says Thou Shalt Not Kill, it means the people...or do you think God will punish somebody for killing an animal. I wonder how many cockcrouches (spelling?) you've killed, or mosquitoes, ants on the road? Then you've done wrong.

Second, if a vegetarian is in the hospital with a broken bone, that is a sign of weak bones. I wonder why they would be weak. Unless of course and beam of steel fell on it!

Third, I wonder how many beauty products or other products for that matter you use which contain animal products. Unless you make EVERYTHING you use. What about the clotes. Do you own anything that is 100% leather.

Fourth, is fish included in your list of killing animals? Then Jesus certainly very wrong for feeding thousands of people with fish.

Fifth, Romans 14:1-2 "Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgement on disputable matters. One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables". And if you keep reading it mentions not judging the other person, just like you're judging people who eat meat. I don't mean to judge you, you've chosen to eat vegetables only, but that only shows you're a weak person.

I found your post to be very informative. I am glad I stumbled across this.

The Garden of Eden was the Biblical age of innocence, it had it's own set of 'food rules'. The first death on record was when God killed and skinned animals to make clothes for Adam and Eve after they had lost their innocence. They were expelled from the Garden and entered the age of the Mosaic Law (yes, even though Moses was later) with it's own set of 'food rules'. When Jesus returned from the dead, we entered the age of Grace, this is where we remain today. All foods are permmisable in this time according to the Bible. If you are convicted that you are not to eat meat, wonderful. No one has the right to force their ideaology on another.

Thanks!!! Although I have to admit I don't believe eating meat every single day is healthy. I know that it takes the body almost 2 days, if I'm not mistaken, to digest red meat, so it would be healthier to avoid eating it everyday. I do switch from red meat to chichen to fish and other days I may not eat meat at all.

Anyway, each person has its own battles in his own time at his own pace. My goal is to live the best way I can until I reach my end, knowing that my goal is not on earth, but in heaven.
