I nowhere said I did not respect the eating habits of others. It is not for me. Farmers slaughter all the time so I believe in most cases they are immune to the killing/pain animals go through. It is understandable. Enjoy eating what you wish. As far as our teeth, we do not know exactly what they were like when God created Earth. It may be they adapted/changed over time.
I do not go to church nor Bible study. I have found too many fanatics at churches over the years and have given that up. My church is outside in nature, with the animals and God. Though I would agree that the conversation I would bring up would be stimulating and out of the regular regimen of Bible studies. Have a blessed weekend!
I feel Gods presence and magnificence in Nature. It’s kind of my church. All the churches near me bowed to the so called experts and governments so that I can barely walk into them anymore. Maybe I will someday, but for now, my daily school, so to speak, is in Gods creation. I have had lovely conversations with other hikers. Moments of true discernment and joy. Little miracles displayed when I ask Him if I can see something different or what does He want me to know today. God is good—all the time. My last Bible study had too many woke liberals spouting pro abortion and isn’t it great you have a trans grandkid. I will tell them what it really is when I go next time. Blessings. HE IS Risen. Eat what you like.
Your comment reveals the sad state of the church in the US. The vast majority seem to have a lot in common with the kind you describe, there's no point going to them.
Equally sad for me, I live near several churches that are conservative, they teach and appreciate the Bible, but they seem to want to avoid utilizing what they learn from the Bible. I find that to be at least as frustrating as the liberal churches. I could go on for a while on this topic.
These are interesting times we are living in. That's one reason I enjoy the "Thru the Bible" programs. McGee is good, he's funny, and he is imperfect. I'll yell at him some times given some of his perspectives; he grew up during the depression and died in the 1980's. But when it comes to the true lessons of the Gospels, the man is spot on.
Most people try to bring God down to their level. Personally, if I could bring God down to my level He would be no better than me; I wouldn't waste my time. But God can't be brought down to our level, and we can't comprehend Him and everything about Him. He is too massive and amazing, yet He loves us enough to send His Son to die, and be raised, for us. I can't grasp it mentally but I cling to it spiritually!
I feel very sorry for, and don't understand people who want God to be like them.
So well put. You put into words some of what I feel. I look into the sky and the mystery of it all takes my breath away. That He knows me and Christ cares for me. It’s the unknowing that actually calms me. The unknowing that helps my faith. The words I can’t express because who of us really could? The Holy Spirit must speak for me. Pease and blessings.
So well put indeed! I live in the country, have 15 dogs 3 horses and a cat; I love animals. I'm a meat eater, wish I could be only a veggie eater but I would starve to death.
I say that to echo your words. God's creation is beyond fascinating, it's beyond words. I can't explain Him, but after years of ignoring Him, now I can't ignore Him, and won't live without Him. And I surely can't try to bring Him to my level.
In Hebrews we are told the Son of God was made a little lower than angles; aka human. That's as close as God needed to get to my/our level; I embrace it! Thanks!
Love this Janet. Another kindred Spirit that revels in the joys of Nature and what God created. It is the best church I can think of. Blessings to you also on this Holy Weekend where God made us clean and forgiven. Indeed, He is risen.
I believe staunchly it was not God's intention for us to feast on any kind of flesh until we fell. What passages are those you speak of as I would like to read them WS? God and I will just continue to agree to disagree on this subject matter. It is our sore point.
Interesting. I am reading through the Bible but in the NT right now since it is Holy Week and reading Psalms. I will have to journey back through the Bible's OT to see how accurate that is. I am one of those I prefer to see it straight from the horse's mouth so to speak! Thank you for the info. Perhaps I will start at the flood to find the passages! Blessed Easter to All!
The internet has such wonderful resources for the Bible now.
I had my own bad experiences that separated me from any desire to explore anything ‘Church’ related. But there came a time when I hit rock bottom and this Prodigal Child had to claw her way up and go Home.
I didn’t trust anything to do with anybody explaining things to me at that time either, so it was just me and the Word.
It’s so good to have it at my fingertips on the internet now.
I’ve got a lot of miles on me, many of them spent with the source. And I feel confident in my developed powers of Holy Spirit directed discernment.
You’ll get there!
(I know Satan involves himself in the Church’, but he doesn’t want anything to do with areas that help people understand the Word. He’s all about the ‘cloud it up’ with catchy phrases about ‘love’ and ‘justice’ and ‘feel good’.)
Not just teeth indicating we are omnivores. The digestive tract is designed not as an herbivore's but as a carnivore and the enzymes we generate are designed to accomodate this. Fossil records provide indication of early man's teeth. They didn't change that much.
God made us, and our teeth clearly show we are designed as omnivores.
As a farmer for many decades, I respect your feelings about food but don't endorse them. Please respect the eating habits of others.

Lori….I can imagine the conversation you stimulate during refreshments at Bible study. 😁

I think in Lori's religion of self, she does all the talking.
Genesis reports that we became meat eaters after the Flood.
I believe staunchly it was not God's intention for us to feast on any kind of flesh until we fell. What passages are those you speak of as I would like to read them WS? God and I will just continue to agree to disagree on this subject matter. It is our sore point.
I ‘Duck, Duck, Go’ed the question; in Genesis when was man first permitted to eat meat.

With AI is full force which can be discretely manipulated, I will go straight to the source! I am not as trusting as you unfortunately:{.
I’ve got a lot of miles on me, many of them spent with the source. And I feel confident in my developed powers of Holy Spirit directed discernment.
You’ll get there!
(I know Satan involves himself in the Church’, but he doesn’t want anything to do with areas that help people understand the Word. He’s all about the ‘cloud it up’ with catchy phrases about ‘love’ and ‘justice’ and ‘feel good’.)
So, yes, you do very well to go to the source.
I spent about 5 years as a vegetarian in my hippie days. 50+years ago
Cooked and prepared food mostly guided by The Ten Talents cookbook. (Seventh Day Adventist author) I remember very tasty experiences.
That book is still available on Amazon, but quite expensive!

Thanks CC but I would need to see the fossils myself along with the enzymes if they are preserved. Appreciate you and your comment as always though!
