Animals are here for our benefit. I say we use them in all possible ways that may increase our standards of living.
Christ came to save us humans, not animals!
Keep digging into your piles of roast beef, my brothers and sisters!
Keep skinning your pets for use for clothing during winter!
Just stay alive! God cares more about us than these animals anyway!
I highly doubt the lord will smite us when we shoot those birds up in the trees in desperate times for food, since we're just be trying to survive!
Just be sure to eat, hunt, and live responsibility...

thats right 2Thewaters, kinda, God gave us dominion over the animals, that means made us kings over them, do we want to be good kings that give our subjects life and freedom? or kings that pen up our subjects and slaughter them? i've seen people say well Jesus ate fish. So i researched that over the years, the diet that Jesus may have chose. when i see Jesus eating fish, i think it was a kind of relish they put on bread called fish weed. i really don't know that is just what i've come up with searching, and seeking. Christ Jesus is the Prince of peace, so in my opinion He is a vegetarian.
What happened to the people that wasn't happy with the manna God was feeding them with in the desert? they wanted flesh, so God sent them quail.

Just look at your dentures: you're 'equipped' to both eat meat and veggies. That's the way God created you. However, that doesn't mean you HAVE to eat meat. As long as you get the nutrients you need you may CHOOSE to be a vegetarian. Enough biblical references already have been made to prove you wrong by the way.

Well, I'm not sure about the other types of Christians, but for us catholics, we're not allowed to eat meat on Lent, if this means anything.. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't think eating meat would be against God in regular times.
It's true that vegetarians have longer lifespans than meat eaters, but I still like to eat steak regardless of my lower life span.. I just want food..

i'm not sure why the Lord saw fit to give me incisors and canines instead of just a bunch of molars, if it's not to eat meat.
nor why the Epistles call the one afraid to eat meat 'the weaker brother.'
but i am sure that when we are with Him, in eternity, the Bread of Life will be our food, and in that time i won't be eating roast beast or bean-sprout salad.

LOL, indeed, although the KJV translation is even funnier:
...another, who is weak, eateth herbs
(Rom 14:2)

Fish weed? This is beyond ridiculous. Jesus ate fish, not bread relish. Fish - as in the type of creature that swims in the sea (and other bodies of water). You don't need to eat meat, but please don't think you're more godly than others because you choose not to eat meat.

The first sentence makes sense. But pets aren't our children. They're not made in the image of God. So your analogy comparing the eating of animals to the eating of children is both disturbing and rather silly.

it doesn't matter to me what a person chooses to eat, i'm not judging just sharing, just be thankful in eating.
Hang on that is kind of incorrect thing to say, people could proberbly prove the moon is made of cheese by cherry picking verses from the Bible, you see it all the time on here especailly with cults like King James Only who pick on a couple of verse through the Bible to claim King James of 1611 is perfect final authority.
NO what you should be asking is show me where God has specifically told us not to eat meat. There is none. If we were not to eat meat then why did God give the Israelites quails, that's a type of bird,to eat?
If God told man "you can not eat meat" then gives meat to people to eat, then that would make God a liar and hypocrite.

I apologise. As for the fish relish comment, it sounds like you're just trying to find a way around something you disagree with. Like those who say the wine Jesus turned was actually just grape juice or very mild, not like today's. That's not how it works.
Numbers 11:31-35, is where agricola is talking about, but we must keep reading, what happened to the people that chose to eat the quail in verse 33?
No I was from Nebraska, not Arkansaw, LOL. That may be a local joke that you have never heard of. It was an expression where I grew up that if you shot a bird on the set, you Arkansawed them. I think that expression came from the depression era when it was legal to commercially hunt and even shoot ducks on the water, and then sell them to grocery stores or trade them for groceries. My grandfather used to tell me stories about those days of commercial hunting. I was raised after it became illegal to shoot a bird on the ground or the water. At one time I was very good at knocking down quail, pheasants, and ducks on the fly.
Wild duck breasts actually make VERY GOOD jerky.

Actually the most common way large amounts of fish were preserved from the Sea of Galilee, was sun dried after soaking them in a salt brine. Some may have smoked them in the same manor as Native Americans smoke Salmon today. However to VALIDATE that HE really did resurrect from the DEAD PHYSICALLY, Jesus did eat boiled fish in front of the Disciples to remove their doubt:
Luke 24:38-43 (NASB)
[SUP]38 [/SUP]And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
[SUP]39 [/SUP]"See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."
[SUP]40 [/SUP]And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
[SUP]41 [/SUP]While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"
[SUP]42 [/SUP]They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish;
[SUP]43 [/SUP]and He took it and ate it before them.
Salt was commonly used as a preservative for meats, fish, and vegetables including olives as early as 2000 B.C. The lack of refrigeration, made preserving foods with salt an ABSOLUTE necessity. http://tna.europarchive.org/20090810121540/salt.gov.uk/history_of_salt.html
Matthew 5:13 (NKJV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP] "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
Lamb was on the MENU every single Passover for sure as well as boiled eggs. So, the false idea that GOD does not wants us to vegans is blown completely out the window. Oh, by the way how many vegans eat Horse Radish on a regular basis, that was also on the Passover menu.
As for me, I will always continue to thank GOD for fresh meat. Believe it or not, two of my favorites when I was growing up, were Snapping Turtle and Bull Frog Legs.
