Re: Check this out...okay found it
Well, considering that at this point in time 47,000 people die every day from starvation, and considering in THAT time when you had all these groups making up crazy crap that God never intended so that they could have power, (people LOVE to believe they know secrets) I think the context is that if you have something to eat, be glad, thank Him. HOWEVER, I'm one of the luckiest bastards ever and I can pick what I want to eat and I choose to believe that I was born into a garden and not a ranch, that God did not create animals for the sole purpose of killing them to eat, remember, around the globe people eat dogs and horses and cats, non are exempt. I also believe that I am a temple of the living God with a body that was scientifically (sp) not built to eat meat. I also know from personal experience that my now awesome digestive tract gets throw for a serious loop when I eat meat. So I add it up. If you can avoid meat and feel compelled to do so, do it!! HOWEVER, if for some REALLY weird reason I had to eat meat to live, I'd eat it and thank God for the food while others died died from starvation. My .02
Went hungry a lot as a child...
But not hungry enough to die...
