“Veggie Tale”

Saturday, February 09, 2013

Hi, I was wondering if it is a sin to eat meat.  I have come across a video that says it uses Bible verses to say that it is wrong; it would take too long to type them all out, but here is the link to the video that I am talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb6dWrace38&feature=related

Please help me understand this; thanks and God bless!

Sincerely,

Dear Bring On The Bacon,

The video that you referenced is a great example of false teaching.  It uses a few Bible verses out of context and combines them with a lot of quotes that look like Bible verses – but aren’t actually from the Bible.  Jesus’ teachings are clear; it is okay to eat meat.  Mk 7:19-20 states that all food, including meat, is clean to eat.

While Jesus walked this earth, He regularly ate the Passover (Lk 22:15), which was a Jewish feast.  Part of the Passover meal involved eating lamb (Ex 12:5-11).  Jesus ate the Passover every single year; Jesus was definitely not a vegetarian.
