VEGETARIAN QUOTES IN THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE - 2005/06/14 01:20 VEGETARIAN QUOTES IN THE BIBLE ... A PARTIAL LIST
Methusaleh: The longest lived man in Bible was a vegetarian and achieved 969 years.
Proverbs 20: 23 Be not among the winebibbers nor the riotous eaters of animal flesh.
* Matthew 23: 25-27 What did Jesus call those who eat animals? The King James translates it as `whited sepulchres`. The Greek word translated is sarcophagi (flesh) phagi eaters.
Genesis 1: 29 Behold I have given you herb yielding seed. To you it shall be for food. http://www.matthewscully.com
* Genesis 9: 4-5 Flesh shall ye not eat. http://www.all-creatures.org
Jesus: Feed The Hungry (With 6 billion people in God`s world, we must now choose His food systems: Fruit orchards yield 450,000 lbs. per acre. Slaughterhouses yield 100 to 1000 lbs. an acre. http://www.acorn.net.cob-web.org:8888/fruitarian
* Daniel 1: Daniel was a vegetarian for 10 days in the king`s prison. http://www.jesusveg.com

* Jeremiah 10: Passage against purchasing butchered Christmas trees
* Psalm 104: God made the whale to frolic in the sea (not to be slaughtered by the US, JAPAN, NORWAY and ICELAND govts.) http://www.embassy.gov
Isaiah 66: 3: He that slays an ox is as he that slays a man.
* Acts 15: Do not eat the flesh of strangled animals. http://groups.msn.com.cob-web.org:8888/christianveg
* Peter`s Vision of animals in a cage, said Peter himself, related to reaching out to the Gentile world, not seeing Gentiles as unclean. http://groups.msn.com.cob-web.org:8888/catholicveg
* Acts 18: 18 Paul says that he has taken a private vow. Many scholars believe it was the same vow taken by Samson.. a promise to God not to eat the flesh of innocent animals nor to cut his hair.
* The 5th Angel of Revelation: Harm no green living plant.
* Isaiah 42: Break not the bruised reed.
* Jesus: Whatsoever you have done to these the least of My brethren you have done unto Me.
* Corinthians l If meat makes my brother stumble I shall never again eat meat.
* Exodus 16: 31 The desert manna was like coriander seed. (This was stated by Dr.Reginald Cherry MD on the Trinity Broadcast Network).
* Proverbs 12:10 The righteous one is concerned for his beast.
* Ezekiel 3 and 4: My body has never been contaminated by animal flesh.
*Isaiah 66: 17
* Leviticus 3: 17 commands to eat no animal fat or animal blood Many Jewish vegetarians such as Dr Richard Schwartz of Staten Island believe that it is impossible to drain all the blood out of tiny capillaries.
* Leviticus 11: prohibits the eating of the flesh of rabbits, pigs, shellfish such as lobsters (coprophagous or waste eaters whose consumption of human waste on the Atlantic seaboard is the 2nd annual cause of hepatitis). http://www.egroups.com.cob-web.org:8888/messages/fishesrights http://groups.msn.com.cob-web.org:8888/madfish9
* Leviticus: I will set my face against them that eat blood. http://www.meatout.com
* Judges 13: The breaking of the Nazarite vow (no flesh.. no hair cutting) was the cause of Samson`s downfall. http://www.jewishveg.com
* Job 12: 8 Speak to the earth and she will teach thee (of patience, nurturing, unconditional love, freely giving to all) http://www.compassionatespirit.com
* Exodus 20: 13 Thou Shalt Not Kill (This is not asterisked in the Bible... Later translations such as New King James diluted King James to "Thou Shalt Not Murder" http://www.ivu.org.cob-web.org:8888/recipes
Genesis 6: Noah was commanded by God to provide vegetarian food for the animals on the ark. Lions were given milk. http://www.vegweb.com.cob-web.org:8888/food
Hosea 2:28: I will make for you that day a covenant with the animals.
Jesus: My father`s House is a House of Prayer. You have made it a den of thieves and butchers (where animal sacrifice occurred). The original Greek word for plunderer was rendered `thief` by translators. (the Greek gemousin osteon nekronis translated as `full of dead men`s bones` when it is in actuality `full of dead bones`. Interpretations divide. The Spirit Unites. May The Holy Spirit Overshadow Us All and All Creation. May differences of opinion, Holy Spirit, be to us as pleasing as the apple tree`s making crimson apples while the vine makes royal purple grapes. The Nazarite diet is described in Numbers.
Deuteronomy 5: Thou Shalt Not Kill (later versions than the King James translate this as Thou Shalt Not Murder)
Exodus 20: 13 Thou Shalt Not Kill brought down the mountain literally Lo Tirtzach ... (this is nonkilling, not nonmurder) The Biblical command "Thou Shalt Not Kill" which J J Price cites as a reason to change diet ... is not asterisked "to include humans only". The Biblical command "Thou Shalt Not Steal" which Kathy Kurtz cites can be related to not purloining the eggs from chickens nor the milk from mother cows whose calves are then butchered for veal.
Genesis 6: Noah was commanded by God to provide vegetarian food in the ark for people and animals. (The lions drank the milk of cows.)
Genesis 9: 4-5 Flesh shall yet not eat. And surely your blood I will require at the hands of beasts. (God forgive us all and help us all to change.)
Hosea 2:28: I will make for you that day a covenant with the wild animals. I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land. I will make you lie down in safety. Isaiah: Isaiah is the prophet who more than any other forecasts the birth of Jesus. He is also the prophet with the most references to nonviolence and universal respect for life. Jesus quotes Isaiah`s "I delight not in your blood sacrifices" as He drives the animal killers out of the temple. Jesus refers to the vegetarian Isaiah more than to any other.
Isaiah: 1: 11: I delight not in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he goats (whereas Isaiah 66 involves not eating pigs ... and Isaiah 65 involves not eating any living thing) (In some Bible translations the word `blood` has been removed.) (In others it is "I delight not in thy blood sacrifices.")
Isaiah 42: He shall break not the bruised reed. Isaiah 59: We moan sadly like doves.
Isaiah 65: The wolf shall lie down with the lamb.. they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord. Many other passages of Isaiah speak of noneating of animals.
Isaiah 66: 3 He who slays an ox is as he that slays a man. (Another translation: He who kills a bull is as he who kills a man.)
Job 5: You will be in league with the stones of the field and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
Job 12: 8 Speak to the earth and she will teach thee (of patience, humility, forgiveness, universal nurturing)

Re:VEGETARIAN QUOTES IN THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE - 2005/06/14 05:56 In real life I have seen and met many individuals and its interesting to know that there is a greater number of vegetarians who are intelligent if compared to meat eaters . Even in the imaginary world the vegetarians lead , Take note: The cartoon show; The Looney Tunes in a particular the episode of Bugs Bunny Show , with carrot munching Bugs bunny always outsmarting the rabbit hunting(and maybe rabbit eating) Elmer Fudd!

Re:VEGETARIAN QUOTES IN THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE - 2005/06/14 07:27 individual can practice it. All these passages from that so called religious book may intimidate believers to change their eating habits and to follow the precepts of these biblical personalities for their own good. That is a sheer folly. Are these scriptures telling the people that if they do not toe in line they will suffer from eternal damnation?Let these individuals who expound such silly beliefs burn in their self created hell. What ever are the religious and dietary preferences of every person is his own prerogative if he is deemed intelligent enough to see which is good and bad. Regarding the morality of eating meat and not partaking in it let each individual learn from his own experience how this diets affects his health and well being.If he find that it causes him much distress( health and moral reason) if he consume and use animal products then he will find a way out of it in a gradual manner that will be harmonious with his lifestyle. What is the rush anyway?I am partial to the doctrine that Man has a countless lives and can live and die continously for ages to come.These continious cycle of death and living provides much more answers to the mystery of life than the doctrine of a dictatorial god presiding over his creations (who are unsure if the burn in hell or wander endlessly in heaven). A manvantara is such a very long period of time. Roy

Re:VEGETARIAN QUOTES IN THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE - 2005/06/14 08:51 There seems to be something wrong here. Neither the NIV nor KJV version of this passage say anything about "those who eat animals", they are talking about "teachers of the law and Pharisees" or "scribes and Pharisees". And I think the reference in the previous verse to those who "strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel" is metaphorical.
There seems to be good evidence that Jesus ate fish at least, if you accept the truth of the Gospels; see Luke 24:41-43.

Re:VEGETARIAN QUOTES IN THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE - 2005/06/14 11:11 thereof, shall ye not eat. 5: And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man`s brother will I require the life of man.
That is, flesh must be drained of blood before it is eaten. That is the part of the procedure for kosher(and halaal) slaughter of animals. Peaches: 19,000 lbs./acre Tomatoes: 90,000 lbs./acre Legumes: 9,000 lbs./acre Oats: 79,000 lbs./acre Wheat: 80 bushels/acre (approx. 60 lbs./bushel, depending on moisture content) part is in Daniel 1: 20 e0
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
So does this prove that astr
1134 ologers eat meat, or are endemically stupid? To put it in context, one needs to read verses 2 and 3 together:
2: For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. 3: He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog`s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine`s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol.
So the man that kills an ox as if slaying a man will be looked upon well, given certain provisions.
I don`t need to go through the remaining "quotes" to show that they have been interpreted, manipulated and wilfully mistranslated.
