There are many discussions going on today about what God’s stance is on vegetarians and vegans. Some people believe that eating meat is a sin. However, others believe eating meat is okay as long as you are doing so in a responsible way. There are many scriptures in the Bible that talk about food. There are also many interpretations of what they mean. In this blog post, we will explore what the Bible says about vegetarianism and veganism.

What Does God Think About Vegetarians and Vegans?

The first thing we need to understand is that the Bible was written in a different time. That means it was also written alongside a different culture. Meat was not as readily available as it is today. People did not have the same understanding of nutrition that we do now. Because of this, it is important to read the Bible in context, and not take everything literally. With that said, there are still some clear principles that we can glean from the Bible about God’s stance on vegetarianism and veganism.

The second thing we see is that God created animals for our use. In Genesis, we read that God created the animals and then gave them to Adam for him to name and rule over. This shows that God intended for us to use animals, and that they are not equal to us. However, we are also told in Genesis that we are to be stewards of the earth, and this includes taking care of the animals. This means that we are to treat them with respect, and not abuse them.

The next thing we see is that God does not necessarily require us to eat meat. In Genesis, we are told that after the flood, God gave Noah and his family permission to eat meat. However, later on in the Bible, we see that God tells Israelites not to eat certain kinds of animals. This shows that while God does not require us to eat meat, He does have specific guidelines about which animals we should and should not eat.

Final Thoughts

So what does all of this mean? Well, it is up to each individual to decide what they believe. However, it seems clear that God is not opposed to vegetarianism or veganism, as long as it is done in a way that is respectful to His creation. Whether or not you choose to eat meat is a personal decision, but it is something that you should prayerfully consider. Thank you for reading, and I hope this has been helpful! God bless!
