Science is right and religion is wrong and religion is right and science is wrong. That's what I always try and avoid. I prefer the third, middle path option. Anyway, no problem, carry on. You're correct on one level, that's fine we can leave it at that.

yes that is correct. God has forbidden the; meat of a dead animal that is rotting, blood of any kind, the flesh of swine, and any animal which is slaughtered as a sacrifice on which God has not been mentioned while slaughtering. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, and not transgressing, then it is allowed, God is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.

I always mention peoples who's environment isn't suited to agriculture... which means there is no universal morality to this diet issue.

I see now, the Bible was written to turn people into vegetarians. After reading that.

That's the answer... to every question of this kind.

It's a nicer way of living for sure and I am like it too. We are lucky we found this way to live. The Peace and happiness it brings along with being christian is so much better.

And God said, "Just listen to thy inner voice and do whatever the heck it's telling you."

i think when the bible cites things you should not eat-it isn't from a spiritual aspect but a common sense one. god just want people to be healthy. ie do not eat pork. undercooked port can make you ill.

The core issue is spiritual evolution.
As we grow in wisdom, love and understanding things which 'we' once viewed as 'acceptable', 'we' come to see as error and unacceptable and 'we' abandon them for a better and higher way of living.

Colossians 2:16......."Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink"
For a more complete understanding of the teaching read the remainder of this passage......Colossians 2: 16-23
This is what seems to make the most sense to me.

I think the fact that kills this discussion is that the chimpanzees eat meat as part of their diet. As far as "eating rotten meat" goes, our remote ancestors were probably scavengers too, eating the left-overs of the major carnivores. Add too, that they were also cannibals !
