And God Said: I will give you Plants and Bread! And man said, "We'd rather have our meat." What about you?
~~~Genesis 1:29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for meat. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for meat." And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning-- the sixth day.
~~~Daniel 1:12 Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the carnivores. 14 So the king's steward tested Daniel's men with vegetables and the rest with meat, for ten days. 15 After ten days Daniel's men looked healthier and better nourished than the men who ate meat. 16 So the king's guard replaced their meat with vegetables instead.
~~~Proverbs 12:10 A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
~~~Proverbs 15:17 Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred.
~~~Psalm 78:24-25 God rained down manna for the people to eat, he gave them the grain of heaven. 25 Men ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat.
~~~Numbers 11:4-5 But the rabble among them began to lust for meat, and they started wailing: "If only we had meat to eat!
~~~Exodus 16:3 The Israelites said, "If only we had died by the LORD's hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat."
~~~Their lust for animal flesh so dominated them, they would rather live without God in slavery than do without tasty meat. For preferring taste over life, GOD, whose will they were defying, STRUCK THEM DEAD.
~~~Psalm 78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
~~~Psalm 78:27-42 God rained meat down on them like dust, flying birds like sand on the seashore. 28 He made them come down inside their camp, all around their tents. 29 They ate till they had more than enough, for he had given them what they lusted for. 30 But before they turned from the food they craved, even while it was still in their mouths, 31 God's anger rose against them; he put to death the sturdiest among them, cutting down the young men of Israel. 32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; in spite of his wonders, they did not believe. 33 So he ended their days in futility and their years in terror.
~~~Numbers 11:18-20 "Tell the people: 'Consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The LORD heard you when you wailed, "If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!" Now the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, 20 but for a whole month-- until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it-- because you have rejected the LORD
~~~Num 11:33 But while the meat was still between their teeth and before it could be consumed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague. 34 Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah (which means: GRAVES OF LUST), because there they buried the people who had craved meat instead of God's bread.
The Number of Animal Souls in Heaven is staggering.
Eating Animals is like Slavery and Killing Witches. Christians used to do it Quoting their Bible (INCORRECTLY), all the way.There is no killing in the New Testament, once you understand LOVE.
If you are a Christian and can still feel good about eating animals after reading this page, your heart is seared, as with a hot iron. If you point to the Old Testament you've not yet realized the Old Testament was a lure: a bait that would appeal to the babaric, superstitious, legalistic, blood-sacrifice heart of mankind BEFORE Jesus walked the earth. It had one purpose: to lead men to Christ. Slavery, eye for an eye, amputating of limbs, stoning people, animal sacrifice, killing of witches, certificates of divorce: all of these were concessions to man's ideas of justice. These savage-minded practices, need I tell you, were not in God's heart! But men's hearts were HARD, just as Jesus says, so God permitted them to retain the things of the Patriarchs, also as Jesus tells us.
When you point to crude merciless things in the Old Covenenat to justify them in the NEW AGE of the NEW COVENANT established by Jesus Christ, be sure you are pointing to God's preferences and heart and not a concession; a reflection of the cruel darkness in the heart of man.
Hebrews 7:18-19 The former regulation is set aside because it was WEAK AND USELESS 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and A BETTER HOPE IS INTRODUCED, by which we draw near to God.
Anyone who listens to Jesus knows what he said: I desire worship in Spirit and Truth expressing itself in Love. And love does no harm.
Ecclesiastes 3:19-21: A View of the Souls and Spirits of Humans and Animals - By Michael Shaw
http://www.all-creatures.org/discuss/svtecc3.19-21ms.html
Revelation 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the creatures and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.
Revelation 5:13-14 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Some are happy to make Jesus, who abolished the obsolete ways of the Old Testament, out to be a heartless personality who throws animals away like trash. They do this to justify their lusts for animal flesh. Don't degrade God to justify your murderous evil.
Are there Animals in Heaven? Of course.
Rev 4:6 Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. NIV

Rev 4:8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." NIV
Rev 4:9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, NIV
Rev 5:6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. NIV
Rev 5:8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty- four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. NIV
Rev 5:11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. NIV
Rev 5:13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" NIV
Rev 5:14 The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped. NIV
Rev 6:1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" NIV
Rev 6:3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" NIV

Rev 6:6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" NIV
Rev 6:7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" NIV

Rev 14:3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. NIV
Rev 15:7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. NIV
Rev 19:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: "Amen, Hallelujah!" NIV
Carnivorism Fuels World Hunger
What Makes Nations Free and Prosperous with plenty of food? Notice the level of Jesus in them. The less Jesus the more of everything bad. The more Jesus, the more earth's citizens wish to climb over their walls to get the good stuff.
It's also the level of oppression of the most vulnerable: the animals. In fact, giving edible nutritious grains, which people could eat directly, to instead cycle through animals for a nutritional fraction, is so dangerously inefficient, it's the number one reason A CHILD DIES from hunger related diseases every 10 seconds. Want to starve people? Give billions of pounds of their grains, oats and corn to livestock.
Does a child die of hunger every 10 seconds?
By Ruth Alexander BBC News
~~~Does the Bible say Animals have SOULS?~~~
"If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body." 1Cor 15
Ecclesiastes 3:18 As for men, God tests them that they may SEE THEY ARE LIKE THE ANIMALS.. the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so the other. ALL HAVE THE SAME BREATH; man has no advantage over the animal. All go & return to the same place; Who knows if the SOUL OF MAN rises upward or the SOUL OF THE ANIMAL goes down into the earth?
Genesis 9:5 I will demand an accounting from every animal.
Habakkuk 2:17 Your destruction of animals will terrify you.
Isaiah 66:3 Whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a man, and whoever offers a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck.
Proverbs 12:10 A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
~~~So animals have souls. But do they know God?
Job 12:7-10 "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; 8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. 9 Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? 10 In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
~~~If God's BREATH ENTERS INTO YOU You are a living Soul
Genesis 2:7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground & breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, & the man became a living SOUL.
~~~Does God make Covenants with Animals & Humans?
Genesis 9:9-10 "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you-- the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you-- every living creature on earth. 12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you.
Genesis 9:15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
Is God's Ideal Non-violent Veganism?
Isaiah 11 Righteousness will be his belt & faithfulness the sash around his waist. The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf, lion & yearling together & a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together & the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra & the young child put his hand into the viper's nest (and laugh.)
~~~Does God want Destroyers or Protectors of Life?
Isaiah 65 "Behold, I'll create new heavens & a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. Be glad & rejoice forever in what I'll create, the sound of weeping & crying will be heard in it no more. 25 The wolf & the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the LORD.
††† You can happily enjoy the BEST MEALS OF YOUR LIFE, all using plants and plant based "meats" leaving you missing NOTHING except fat, disease and cancer. Veganism, is cheap, easy and healthy so you have no excuse to embrace the ANIMAL HOLOUCAST created by flesh eaters needlessly destroying earth, sky, species, forest and children.
Go Love. Go LIFE. Go Vegan!!

*ALL* cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens and besides fat and cholesterol, most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides, dioxins (up to 200 times the safe levels), up to 53 powerful antibiotics, blood, pus, feces, bacteria and viruses.
Why keep the murder machinery in place for milk we don't need when we have nutritionally superior and better tasting alternatives such as: Almond Milk, Hazelnut Milk, Coconut Milk, Hemp Milk, Oat Milk, Rice Milk and Soy Milk?

I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him. –Napoleon
Albert Einstein on Jesus
"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know his thoughts. The rest are details." (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, 2000 p.202)
"In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognise, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support for such views.". (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, p. 214)
"As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene....No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life." --Albert Einstein
"If one purges the Judaism of the Prophets and Christianity as Jesus Christ taught it of all subsequent additions, especially those of the priests, one is left with a teaching which is capable of curing all the social ills of humanity. It is the duty of every man of good will to strive steadfastly in his own little world to make this teaching of pure humanity a living force, so far as he can. If he makes an honest attempt in this direction without being crushed and trampled under foot by his contemporaries, he may consider himself and the community to which he belongs lucky." -The World as I See It (1935) - Albert Einstein
"Then there are the fanatical atheists whose intolerance is the same as that of the religious fanatics, and it springs from the same source . . . They are creatures who can't hear the music of the spheres." (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, 2000 p. 214)
"I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's pantheism, but admire even more his contributions to modern thought because he is the first philosopher to deal with the soul and the body as one, not two separate things." - As quoted in Glimpses of the Great
†homas Jefferson, thought Jesus' teachings the most sublime set of morals ever offered mankind and like Tolstoy and Jesus, devalued miracles (Matthew 16:4 "A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign..").
In a letter to John Adams, Jefferson compared his Academic education to Jesus' teachings:
"We must dismiss the Platonists & Scholastics, their essence as nonsense. Let's reduce our libraries to Jesus' words, paring off the amphibologisms & misconceptions. Then one finds the most sublime & benevolent code of morals ever offered man.
I have surgically cut out, verse by verse, words evidently from Jesus, distinguished as diamonds in dirt." - Thomas Jefferson
Gandhi called himself a Christian and a Hindu and called himself a Disciple of Jesus and Tolstoy
Lord Irwin asked Gandhi what he thought would solve the problems between Great Britain and India. Gandhi picked up a Bible and opened it to the fifth chapter of Matthew and said: "When your country and mine shall get together on the teachings laid down by Christ in this Sermon on the Mount, we shall have solved the problems not only of our countries but those of the whole world."
To use Gandhi's words, "Today supposing I was deprived of the Gita and forgot all its contents but had a copy of the Sermon on the Mount, I would deprive the same joy from it as I do from the Gita." Gandhi loved Christianity because of its absolute emphasis on love as the most ethical virtue.
"As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud.
