As to the morality of eating animals, as I age and see pain and sufferiing on this planet, I have a hard time justifing my lust for a steak from any animal that must lose it's life for my lust! I am not 100% vegen but I do eat fish and limited dairy products.
I do understand the sacrifices of the first testament times. Inocent blood was shed for the sins of the people pointing toward our Saviours inocent death on Calvary for "All" the sins of "All" mankind that ever lived or shall live! In the law of Moses nothing was wasted of those animals and the flesh was eaten by the preists mostly. The fat was poured on the altars not consumed by men. first Low fat diets, LOL!
Anyway, this is an individual sense of respecting all life on this planet and we don't do that! We as Christ followers need to understand more of what is here in this natural world and respect it more! Nuff said;
Grace and Peace
