There is no such restriction on Christians.....
Genesis 1:29 King James Version (KJV)
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed;
to you it shall be for meat.
I don't know of any instructions about vegetarianism given by Christ.
I pity the beast that Christ wound up eating!
At least saints are vegetarian.
BTW, I don't believe Christ ate meat.
Anyway here are the verses that support my position:
Please review the Greek & hebrew terms, and kindly, verify or deny their veracity:
I'd like to cut and paste the whole Bible text, but for here are the Chapter/Verse of mention of NONE-FLESH EATING:
Old Testiment RE-CAP:
gen 1:29 [vs. Gen 9:3 ~immediately after recovery from the flood].
gen 9:4-5
num 11:33
Isaiah 1:11,15
Isaiah 66.3
Leviticus 3:17
Regarding, "Thou shall not Kill" ---reference:
The hebrew words are: 'Lo tirtzach' ---according to Dr Reuben Alcalay's 'Complete Hebrew/English Dictionary', 'tirtzach' refers to any kind of killing.
Christ was vegetarian ---there are 19 Gospel references to 'meat' all have been mis-translated from the original Greek Bible text:
Greek (3 of references) - English meaning:
Broma (4) - 'food' Romans 14:15, 20-21; I Corinthians 8:8, 10:3
Brosis (4) - 'the act of eating' Romans 14:17
Brosimos (1) - 'that which may be eaten'
Phago (3) - 'to eat' Luke 8:55
Prosphagon (1) - 'anything to eat'
Trophe (6) - 'nourishment' John 4:8, Acts 9:19, Acts 27:33-36
and,
Trapesa (?) - 'table' "...They set a table before him ..." Acts 16:34
Thus, John 21:5 "Have ye any meat" ---is incorrect. it should have been translated:
"Have ye 'anything to eat'"
Regarding, "FISH" ---reference: The secret & mystical symbol/Password for "Christian" in Roman Prosecution Times, derived from the Greek word for fish, ICHTHUS ---forming the acronym: Iesous Christos Theou Uios Soter (Jesus Christ Son of God Saviour)
New Testiment RE-CAP:
Matt 3:4 ~(the word 'locusts' used here means Locust beans, aka, carob, aka, St John's bread)
Luke 8:55 ~the word used here is 'phago' (to eat).
Isaiah 7:14,15 ~prophets predict Jesus's diet: "... Butter & Honey shall he eat ..."
Luke 24:41-43 ~Note the words used, Jesus was offered two things 'Fish and a honeycomb' "... and he took it . . ." indicates that he choose one of the two judging from Isaiah 7:15 [the word used here is 'brosimos' (eatable)].
See the Offence for fleash eating:
Greek word for FLESH is: 'kreas'
I Corinthians 8:13
IMO it is crazy to think animal eating will bring anything except future Dukham [aka suffering].
