I never had an opinion about this before but I was thinking this morning, in nature carnivores hunt and kill but it serves a purpose. It strengthens the collective of both parties involved. The stronger thrive/survive to pass on genes and the weaker die so they don’t. We humans already have an unfair advantage in this survival game. We already eat to excess, probably two to three times our required calorie need (foregoing a necessity), then we aim for the stronger, trophy worthy animals. This messes up God’s design of natural selection. We could argue that the medical industry is plenty guilty of this but for now I’m just interested in your thoughts on hunting.
But a Christian should not hunt for sport whether to display a trophy or not,for that is not right,and even the sacrifices of Israel,like bulls,God allowed the priests to eat the meat,and the Lamb's blood in Egypt on their house they got to eat the Lamb,for they had to have their sins washed by the blood of animals,but God was not going to let the meat go to waste.
Hunt for food,not for sport,and trophy,for there would be no difference if someone else provided food for you,or you providing the food yourself,for you would have to go along with the person that provides the food,and if a Christian should not hunt to take an animal's life,then if they eat meat provided by someone else then they are an accessory to the crime,lol.
