Christians, should you be eating meat? In order to find out, answer this question for yourself: Is it right to enjoy the product of torture?
Because the animals we eat are undeniably and brutally tortured, many of them from the moment of their birth to their painful, terrifying death. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWwONMRJ33k&ab_channel=LinasKorta]
[quote][i] But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.[/i][/quote] Romans 14:23

I was brought up "southern Baptist" and have never head of such a thing before. As a matter of fact in the bible you'll find this......In Leviticus 11, the Lord speaks to Moses and Aaron and sets out which animals can be eaten and which cannot: 鈥淵ou may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud.
It's been a long time since I've done "structured religion" because I don't agree with it all.
Many biblical scholars believe that Jesus was a vegetarian. Jesus' message is one of love and compassion, and there is nothing loving or compassionate about factory farms and slaughterhouses, where billions of animals live miserable lives and die violent, bloody deaths.馃様
It's a pretty awful industry overall. I wouldn't be shocked to find that Jesus was a vegetarian but i don't know of any scripture that suggests it. I think his care and concern was pretty explicitly directed towards humanity.
