I didn't realize that Genesis had a prohibition on eating meat...9:3 Says we are suppose to be vegetarians and 9:4 Says we shouldn'teat animals that have blood... Oh, I'm aware that as part of theprocess of butchering an animal you drain their blood but there isreally no way to get it all out..."Right! Well, it is really not very politically correct today to bad mouth the enormous fish, chicken, beef industries. Not to mention the vast food processing, advertising, marketing, distributing industries, insurance, and doctor/medical/hospital industries. They employ countless millions of people, who might have to get a real life. From the Book of :1:8 But purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.1:12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.1:13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.1:15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.Besides Genesis, this was one of the Biblical passages that led me to vegetarianism.
