My question is from Genesis 1 vs 29-30. Is this saying we are to be vegetarians?

Thank you.

1 Timothy 4:3-5 In the Last Days just before Jesus Returns to Earth; the "world will".

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.

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

This is another sure sign that Jesus is soon to appear.

To begin with we were all vegatains. Or the people alive at that time. But, if you read on you will find where we are allowed to eat meat.

Lynda Simple answer is no

The answer to your question, in the beginning everything ate grass, herbs of the field, and fruit from the trees, there wasn't any need of meats. Adam was immortal like the creator (God) and when God created Eve she was immortal too. Adam and Eve did not need nourishment for the body they were like God's, the animals ate grass and herbs, the lion would lay down beside the lamb. But like everything that God does humans get into it and it becomes a mess. After the sin of the forbidden fruit Adam and Eve became flesh and blood, God took their immortal away from them and block the way to the tree of life which would have gave them immortal back. After Adam and Eve lost their immortal there was a need for meats and a need for nourishment for the body. hope this clears up the scripture for you.

God Bless

stay prayed up and ready to go up

Thank you!

I once beleived in the teaching of the Bible. The stories i was taught about the bible were not as perfect as stated. And of all the not so correct teaching. i find this to be the most insane thing ive ever seen or heard

2 Peter 3

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Romans Chapter 1

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Philippians 3:2

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

1 Timothy 6

3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

1 John 1:6

1 Timothy 2:2-6

2 Peter 3:10

Hi Allen Not trying to change your mind but I'm curious what don't you believe and why?

Dear Allen, thanks for sharing. If I am understanding you correctly, at this time, you do not believe the Bible stories as written in Scripture? If this is your belief now, I will pray for God to help to believe what is really true about God, our world and history as recorded in Scripture. You can ask God for the same thing, that He will help you to know and believe only what is true. It is o.k. to have doubts. We should admit our doubts to God and to believers.

If I have misunderstood what you we trying to say, please let me know.

Hi Lynda. We are in the new covenant. You have to remember, at that time Adam and Eve were perfect. So they probably were not in need of any protein. Today even those who say that don't eat meat have to get their protein somehow or they will end up in the hospital and even die. You cannot mix old wine in new wineskins, but new wine must be placed in new wineskin. Jesus said, It's not what enters the mouth that defiles the body, but what comes out.

Thank you!

Genesis has to be read slower. God created everything necessary for all creatures and man to be able to eat herbs, grass, nectar, meats, etc. Every creature right down to a snail or smaller, had exactly the perfect food.

Romans 14:2

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth HERBS.

Romans 14:15

But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

Romans 14:17

For the kingdom of God is NOT meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 10:31

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Colossians 2:16

Let NO man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

1 Timothy 1: 1-4

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the LATTER TIMES, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of DEVILS

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

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.

4 For every creature of God is good, and NOTHING to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

See, everything God made is good for us. In an agricultural society, people are very active and work off extra calories.

Not so much now in high-Tech society. If we eat too many calories, it stretches the stomach and the ribs and we walk leaning backwards.

My only comment is: I pray the Lord's Prayer over my food faithfully, because of things like covid and flu, ecoli, wisteria etc. I'm not paranoid; I just want to enjoy mealtimes. :D

Thank you
