No, but if a vegetarian is offended by seeing a believer eat meat, that meat eater must not consume meat in front of them. To disregard their conscience would violate scripture, in that situation.What are your views about it?
What is the scripture you are seeing violated ?No, but if a vegetarian is offended by seeing a believer eat meat, that meat eater must not consume meat in front of them. To disregard their conscience would violate scripture, in that situation.

Wow----we better remove these verses from the Bible then because young vegetarian believers might get offended reading it:No, but if a vegetarian is offended by seeing a believer eat meat, that meat eater must not consume meat in front of them.

My response to the OP seems to have offended you. I do apologize. Please forgive me.On what grounds can a Christian vegan object to other Christians eating meat?
There is no spiritual reason for there objection.
If it is on the grounds of cruelty, I think one would have to demonstrate that the meat being consumed was ethically raised, killed etc.
How often do you invite vegans round for Sunday diner or for a barbecue?
I would want to know why a vegan thought they should dictate what others ate.
Agreed and to add to that, in Romans 14:3, Paul writes, "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them." This teaches us to respect each other's choices and avoid judgment. Let us support one another in our journey towards health, respecting the diverse ways we honor God with our bodies.I believe the answer is no and Jesus declared all foods clean.
Mark 7:19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and goes to the sewer?” (Thus He declared all foods clean.)
1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Christainas can eat what they want, but not to excess leading to obesity.
Proverbs 23:20-21 Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat; For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty, And drowsiness will clothe them with rags.
I have read studies (weather true or not) that veganism and vegetarianism is not healthy. Most vegans and vegetarians I know are obese. As an Executive Chef, I have seen this more times than I would like to admit.
These studies came from much research on the Carnivore diet, which I have been participating in. I mean, who does not like rare meat, butter and water.
Personally I could never live on a vegan/vegetarian diet.
Back to the OP, no it is not against Christianity.
Definitely a false doctrine from the devil. Animal products are sanctified by God as long as you eat organic and kosher. Meat, dairy and eggs are necessarily for our sustenance, bioavailability of animal protein is much greater than plant protein. At least four disciples were fishermen, and Jesus ate fish during his ministry.What are your views about it?
Yeah, the greatest sin of vegetarianism and veganism is identity politics. Don't form an identity around what you eat and seek a sense of belonging from such identity groups.Agreed and to add to that, in Romans 14:3, Paul writes, "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them."

The purpose of that was to reassure them that Jesus was truly risen - in a new body; they were not hallucinating or seeing a ghost.Wow----we better remove these verses from the Bible then because young vegetarian believers might get offended reading it:
"And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
And he took it, and did eat before them". (Luke 24: 41-43)

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. (1 Tim. 4:1-5)
Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. (Gen. 9:3)

My reply was actually a little "tongue in cheek" above. But I do have to share this: my sister was a follower of Indian Gurus and a strict vegetarian. She and her boyfriend would not even take vitamins that contained "fish oil". They stated that anything that had "struggled" to die should not be eaten. But she also stated that Jesus was indeed one of the ASCENDED MASTERS in the line of incarnations sent from God. You can imagine her surprise when I showed her in Luke 24 that Jesus had eaten FISH! Her eyes became huge and she didn't know what to say. The Bible does indeed have an answer for any question, or anything that is questionable.The purpose of that was to reassure them that Jesus was truly risen - in a new body; they were not hallucinating or seeing a ghost.
Kosher law, Lev. 11. As for organic, anything that reads “created by God,” that does NOT include any GMO food or ultra-processed food like Twinkies.Where in the Bible does it say it has to be organic and kosher?
Are you suggesting Christians cannot eat any meat but kosher and organic?Kosher law, Lev. 11. As for organic, anything that reads “created by God,” that does NOT include any GMO food or ultra-processed food like Twinkies.
Are you suggesting God’s instructions on what is fit/unfit for human consumption are merely a fad diet?Are you suggesting Christians cannot eat any meat but kosher and organic?
So your not going to answer the question?Are you suggesting God’s instructions on what is fit/unfit for human consumption are merely a fad diet?
What are your views about it?
