I had an experience this year that led to me converting to Christianity. It’s been through reading the Bible and consuming media about the Bible and Christianity that I’ve actually been led to veganism. It’s still the early stages of my journey, but my interpretation of the religion is one that calls me to stop giving my money to animal exploiters. If we are to treat others how we wish to be treated, if we’re called to serve “even the lowest” among us... I find it hard to not believe that in 2020, that means a commitment to a vegan lifestyle.

This one definitely makes you think, but it definitely makes sense. If you have the option between choosing a meal made from death and choosing a meal not made from death- the more compassionate choice is obviously the meal with no death. The thing is, in our world, we do have the choice. As privileged Americans, we do have the choice. EVERYDAY. But people still choose the option laden with death.

@@VeganYak Unfortunately it isn't that simple. Your diet that consists of nuts, fruits, seeds, grains especially cause ALLOT of deaths. Rodents, frogs, insects, birds many of them die in the process of harvesting, or spraying pesticides. Or even straight killing of wild animals that are rushing into crops of nuts for example like hogs or deer, not even mentionig that organic farming of vegetables is totally exploiting and depended on blood and fecies of animals for the regeneration of soil and proper growth. If everybody would go Vegan it would not be sustainable, we can't eat all certain fruits like avocados and we can't live a healthy life on only grains not mentioning a really high percentage of people who can't eat legumes (IBS, Extreme bloating) and need vitamin D because of lack of sun. Supliments are not studied enough for us to be taking and relying on it instead of a balanced diet. As some Christians already said, it's a sacrificial world, something needs to die for us to live the message of Christianity is that final sacrifice was done where divinity shed his pure blood so we can have everlasting life, God humbeled himself so we can be lifted up, but this world will never represent the kingdom of God, it just can't because it's the kingdom of the Evil one, resisting temptations can be about overconsuming food, glutony and we should eat less, avoid fast food, factory farmed animals and so on. But Veganism is and should be a choice, it's an ideology and an extreme one, you can save allot of animals, love them but still eat the flesh to sustain yourself on this planet! sory for my English

I would argue that you don't really have any moral argument if you are an atheist/ agnostic, for the belief that eating animals is immoral. If there is no objective morality and objective law giver then there is no basis for objective truths in an atheists arsenal. Since the only metric for good without object truth claims is that something "feels good" (doesn't mean morally good), which is what many meat eating people may argue, they have no meaningful argument (without a God) to refute the claim. Not saying there can't be vegans that are atheist/agnostic, but rather that it's contrarian to their core beliefs.

Nice video! If I could add some points that I think you missed: In Christianity, "gluttony" is viewed as a sin, and self discipline is viewed as a virtue. The majority of people who eat animals do so for pleasure which goes against Jesus' teaching to shun material pleasure. And ultimately, veganism requires a lot of self discipline -- it might require skipping a meal if there are no options available -- but for Christians who believes God sees everything, they have more reason to not want to "cheat" (Christians also have a practice of abstaining from meat during Lent and other feast days so they recognise that veganism is virtuous). Some literature that explores similar themes are Dante's _Inferno_ (with regards to gluttony) and also Dostoevsky and Tolstoy's works in relation to asceticism. Like you say it is not just Christianity, but there are other religions (like Buddhism) that also value the self discipline required to abstain from animal products. To play devil's advocate, there are stories in the Bible (especially Old Testament) that seem to justify animal agriculture. The first is the story of Cain and Abel where God preferred animal sacrifice. Another example is in Exodus when God told the Hebrews to slaughter lambs and put their blood on the doorframes. I am interested in your thoughts on these examples, since you claim that God's ideal world is vegan, why would He require His subjects to raise livestock for the slaughter? The New Testament resolves some of this tension since there is symbolism that Jesus takes the place of the lamb of God. However, this justification does not apply for other Abrahamic religions, and even today, adherents generally believe it is morally good to sacrifice animals for God (hence Halal and Kosher).

Because some of the people who wrote the bible had a bias towards meat eating and raising livestock. You can't rely on the bible for God's word.

@Vebunkd People may have sacrificed animals to sustain their lives and to God in an insufficient attempt to get forgiveness of their sin. They were going to kill and eat the animal regardless so they made an attempt to make this brutal and imperfect way of necessary living more honourable by inviting God into every aspect of their lives. It doesn’t mean this is Gods will for us to live this way as shown in the garden of eden of heaven which both demonstrate Gods intended vision. It makes no sense that as an all knowing and loving God, he would create feeling, thinking individuals who want to live and value their lives like we do merely for the purpose of appeasing our tastebuds. You can believe humans have more moral worth and still be vegan as well. If you believe we should bring heaven to earth, then that requires being vegan by default. There’s absolutely no need for killing and exploiting animals in this day and age when it’s for nothing but our own greed.

One of my favourite passages showing the kinship of humans an animals is Ecclesiastes 3:19-21: For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? Another really good one is Proverbs 12:10: A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. Proverbs 23:20 specifically admonishing flesh consumption: Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: if you go to the original languages, these passages are also a lot more meaningful than Western, pro-meat translators would have you believe.

@@isispotatos2783 Absolutely! I mean just look at God's ideal beginning and his ideal end. Genesis was vegan (maybe even frugivorous) and all the revelatory visions show a place with no death or suffering again as well. It's only the "messy middle" that reluctantly permits sin. Even the oft-quoted Genesis 9:3 is literally THE most reluctant permission ever granted in the Bible. It is prefaced by a warning in 9:2 (to both humans and animals) and concluded with several restrictions in 9:4-5. The latter basically stating that we will be held accountable for all blood spilled.

I’m a Christian and a vegan. I chose this because of wisdom. I see what is happening to our planet from the meat industry and fishing industry. Is it a sin? No, you CAN eat meat. BUT. If you really do research, why would you want to? God doesn’t say to eat it or don’t eat it but I believe He gave us His spirit and we have His nature in making good decisions. In biblical era, they did not have giant machine like industries like we do today. They weren’t filling the ocean with all this plastic and killing the rainforest. So it’s kinda hard to compare apples to apples when they fished and we MASS produce and mass kill. It’s very different nowadays. I chose not to eat animal products because if this. Because God said to have dominion. In His nature, if I am dominant over kids, (in HIS nature) I would love them and protect them. I would make sure that my “dominion” is for their safety and well being. Dominion doesn’t mean kill. I don’t “preach” that people should be vegan but I would love for them to because of many people chose to, we could save our planet.

I follow a lot of Vegan activists, advocates and influencers here on KZitem and the overwhelming majority talk about “Mother Earth” and “Kama” and “Yoga” and “Meditation” and a general irreverence for Our Lord with constant blaspheming. (I’m not a prude or trying to be judgemental but they bang on about being spiritual, sensitive to the feelings of others and not wishing to upset anyone while simultaneously using the name of our Saviour as as curse!) I am really struggling to look past their skewed worldview and find myself quite frustrated by their constant conflagration of protecting defenceless animals with gay, lesbian and transgender rights! These have nothing to do with Veganism but it dismays me when it is seemingly all part and parcel of the accepted norm!

Remove the beam from your own eye before pointing out the speck in your brother’s eye. Stop judging your brothers and sisters and open your heart to ALL. Love your neighbor as yourself. You are making it seem like you are somehow above others because of the Lord. The Lord’s love shines on ALL equally just like the sun. God’s love does not play favorites and you are not special. This is what most so called Christians struggle with- judging everyone and everything around them and general intolerance for anyone who does not have Christian beliefs, and thinking they somehow have special access VIP passes to God. This is a brainwashing job done by Satan/the ego tempting us to think we are special over our neighbor. If you judge and hate others who are not “Christian,” then you are not Christian yourself. There are NO exceptions to Jesus’s teachings. His law is love and his gospel is peace.

Nice Video. Thanks for explaining! I stopped eating animals at the beginning for 2018 and I’m Christian since I can think. ->I didn’t actually stop eating meat because I’m Christian.. I always asked myself „why those precious animals have to die, live a miserable short life and end up on our plates”? I grew up in a big city but I visited every summer my family in Poland on a farm. Typical polish farm live means EATING AND SLAUGHTERING POOR ANIMALS. I remember as a child how I pleaded and cried to my uncle, to let a chicken alive. I even took the chicken and wanted to run away with it. But my uncle took the chicken with it with a axe and you may know what happened sadly after.. the same goes for all the pigs, gooses and turkeys that my family has slaughtered. I never could understand it. But somehow I continued to eat meat because everyone around me ate meat. I didn’t even know that vegans exist back then... but yet I cried always when I knew that a animal got slaughtered and this with only 6-7 years old. When I was around 20; I started watching slaughter house videos and I cried the whole time. The screams were awful. Still haunting me. And what broke my heart too was seeing animals standing in line waiting to be slaughtered and the others saw it and they started crying because they didn’t wanted to end up dead like their friends.. how can this humane and tolerated???? I will never understand this. Now I’m 22 and I feel physical and mentally healthy too. Going vegan is the best for animals, the planet and for yourself too!!

I guess my comment to you would be: how does a vegan lifestyle bring glory to the kingdom of God and how does being a vegan come into alignment in spreading the gospel across the world and making deciples of Christians? If Jesus was here today his main priority would be to save the lost, I believe he wouldn't be advocating a vegan lifestyle as it would be in contention to being a believer. Also in your closing hypotheticals about stabbing an animal and bleeding them... In OT God required burnt offerings but we don't do that now because Jesus died as the perfect sacrifice.

Hey Joanna! 👋 Thanks for watching and for your comment. My question back would be how does loving your neighbor bring glory to God? As mentioned in the video Jesus said the second greatest commandment was to love your neighbor as yourself. I would politely suggest researching what is happening to our brothers and sisters as a result of animal agriculture so it’s not just me saying it. But our decision to consume animals especially on the scale it is now hurts our brothers and sisters and I don’t think that brings glory to God. Workers getting PTSD, nearby communities largely populated with people of color and low income getting diseases, people dying of our number one killer heart disease, food and resources being wasted contributing to the starvation of certain populations, causing pandemics like coronavirus and other diseases like mers, sars, Ebola, mad cow disease, h1n1, avian flu, etc that are causing a ton of suffering and death can’t be what Jesus meant by living thy neighbor. So my answer would be because by going vegan you are acting out of love for your neighbor like Jesus did and said to do and sacrificing your selfish desires. That’s how it would bring glory to God. How does killing Gods creatures unnecessarily for our taste pleasure while simultaneously causing more suffering to humans and destroying our planet bring glory to God. I don’t think it does. To answer the other couple of points. Being vegan is not in contention to being a believer. It is in alignment for the reasons I bring up in the video and in this comment. And if Jesus was the perfect sacrifice and because of that he ended animal sacrifice then why are we still killing them if we don’t need to. Again especially if we know what we do about how terrible it is for humans, the environment, our health, and for the animals. Thanks again for watching and for your thoughts! 💚🌱

This is a great question. I think there are lots of ways a vegan lifestyle brings glory to the kingdom of God. With regards specifically to spreading the gospel, one way is through promoting the health benefits of eating a whole-food plant-based diet, helping people to become healthy. This is similar to medical missions, in which medical professionals cure people's illnesses. In both cases, the people who are helped are then far more receptive to the gospel.

The wolf will lie down with the lamb, the lion will eat STRAW like the ox. There will be no war & pain at HIS Holy Mountain.

You mentioned that Adam and Eve were invited by God to eat plants in Genesis. You mentioned the prophetic text in the book of Isaiah. Those two examples are not representations of humans' current state. Adam and Eve before the fall of man and introduction of sin into the world had perfect bodies. Animals were only killed after the fall to cover the realization of their nakedness in the form of clothing made of animal skin after Adam and Eve tried to dress themselves in fig leaves. God could have made tunics for them out of cotton or flax but did not. They were now under the curse of sin, they would surely die now, their bodies were no longer perfect. As we being children of them, our bodies are far from perfect and we have new needs that Adam and Eve before the fall maybe did not. Regarding Isaiah's prophecy, it talked about humans in perfect glorified bodies living eternally in the presence of God along with a new heaven and a new earth and animals. The animals that are now carnivorous will then not be. We are not in our glorified bodies yet. Are needs and tolerances do well with or without meat. All bodies do well without the gluttonous consumption of meat. Our Christian faith can be equally strong and our daily walk with Christ can be equally holy and approved by God with the sensible consumption of meat and animal products or plant based.

Hey man - Incredible video! I researched this for a couple years actually and made a website about it. I finally got around to making a video compiling all this information last month and got it posted. Can't believe I'm just finding your video now, but we hit on all the same points! I think you will really enjoy my video as well as we seem to be quite like-minded regarding our interpretation of the views, and I'll add a few more for you! Hosea 2:18 states that killing animals will be banned in the future - this future is talking about the same time as God's Holy Mountain that you reference in Isaiah, so not only will all animals be "vegan" at this time, humans will as well! Further, Ecclesiastes 3:18 and Genesis confirm that animals and humans have the same breath of life and spirit (Ruwach and Nephesh in Hebrew) and it's just as likely that animals will go to heaven as it is that humans will, according to the Bible! Otherwise, in heaven we can see that it's described as "Eden Restored" in Revelations 22 - A couple other points, you had mentioned Daniel I believe eating plant-based against meat-eaters and coming out stronger and more spiritual - This also happens in Exodus/Numbers, God offers people manna (which is also described as angelic bread and is more literally a white sap stuff you get from trees more in the middle east) and they chose to eat Quail instead and were struck down with the meat between their teeth. I also touch on Romans and not only that, but I respond to the parts of Romans, Timothy, and Corinthians that anti-vegans commonly use against vegans - as these verses calling people eating plants "weak" was referring to Jewish peoples' faith as they didn't believe Christ's sacrifice was enough and that the meat was offered to idols, and Timothy is speaking about False Asceticism, which also includes banning marriage, so not talking about vegans at all. I also mention why Jesus ate fish, how it related to prophecies he had to fulfil and how this wasn't actually his first choice, and how he doesn't explicitly eat meat at the Last Supper in any of the four accounts, besides being "Eager to partake in the lamb" in Luke's account. Otherwise, Jesus's brother James the Just was definitely an early Christian vegetarian (considered vegan by today's standard) and the Bible would likely be more clearly vegan slanted had he not died in martyrdom like Jesus, allowing Paul to be the vessel through which most of the new testament was written. I think that's about all I can remember in summary of my video - check it out if you have time - I subscribed to your channel and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance through this comment - Great work with this video and awesome visuals by the way!

But if you’re aware of how those animals were treated and it was horrible and you still eat it then that’s on your heart.. these days we can get all of the vitamins and nutrients we need and still not eat meat.

The God of the Bible was certainly cruel to animals. He required the slaughter of hundreds of thousands if not millions of animals, as sacrifice of burnt offering, claiming that he loved the aroma of burnt flesh. In Joshua 11:6 God tells Joshua to hamstring horses. The pain, suffering and slow death that results from such torture mean that only a sadist could request or perform such an act on an innocent animal. Jesus is no better than his Dad since he too displayed extreme cruelty towards animals by driving thousands of pigs over a cliff to their deaths in Matthew 8:32. If you do not want to hurt animals sure listen to that inner voice of empathy and let your actions align with it. Do not rely on a Religious book or someone else's thoughts.

Todays' lesson, for Flexitarians, Vegans and Vegetarians. "2 Some people believe that they can eat all kinds of food. Other people with weak faith believe that they can eat only vegetables. 3 People who eat all foods should not despise people who eat only vegetables. In the same way, the vegetarians should not criticize people who eat all foods, because God has accepted those people. 4 Who are you to criticize someone else's servant? The Lord will determine whether his servant has been successful. The servant will be successful because the Lord makes him successful." Romans 14:1-4 (GW)

Re: Loving your neighbor. Would it be considered love to encourage or enable someone to use drugs or alcohol (or anything known to be unhealthy)? Of course not, right? If we look around us, we see people with heart disease, diabetes, cancers, and so many other diet and lifestyle diseases which could be reduced and/or eliminated by a whole foods, plant-based diet. So in the same way as with drugs and alcohol, it is not really loving others if we encourage or enable them to consume unhealthy items that the world calls “food”. And for those who say they just cant give up cheese (or other addictive products): ok, so don’t give them up. Just crowd them out. There are so many amazing foods out there, and we dont need to worry about “avoiding” or “eliminating” things from our diets so much, if we are so busy filling up on the truly good stuff!

I'm on the cristian bible path, that is kind of a way of life, and yes it include the genesis or the eden diet...a plant based diet just how the bible describe it...i'll say that was easier to change that aspect of my way of life than different other aspect of it. For me starting with 'back to basis' and returning to loving and respecting the creation was the starting point to change my life away from different sin that were in my life. As there is dozen of bible verses old and new testament about food topic it is clean and clear that the will of the Creator of heaven and earth was as describe in genesis...especially now that all christian believers wait for the coming of our Lord and savior better than ever to be ready for the restablishment of the original lifestyle that God the Creator intended for us! don't be a fool as the prophet Isayah warn us long time ago; But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a person, and whoever offers a lamb is like one who breaks a dog's neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig's blood, and whoever burns memorial incense is like one who worships an idol. They have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations...And as Jesus of nazareth remind us; 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

After the great flood, God now introduces and so welcomed all meats into our diets. "God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things." Gen 9:1-3 (KJV) Hurrah!

Eating animals is not a sin. It is viewed as unethical, but we have free will. It is much better for us to eat plants as it is our original dietary plan. After men's sin, we did a lot of things we were not designed to do. We should focus on repentance and the Gospel.

Jesus was not a vegetarian. The Bible records Jesus eating fish (Luke 24:42-43) and lamb (Luke 22:8-15). Jesus miraculously fed the crowds fish and bread, a strange thing for Him to do if He was a vegetarian (Matthew 14:17-21). In a vision to the apostle Peter, Jesus declared all foods to be clean, including animals (Acts 10:10-15). After the flood in Noah’s time, God gave humanity permission to eat meat (Genesis 9:2-3). God has never rescinded this permission. With that said, there is nothing wrong with a Christian being a vegetarian. The Bible does not command us to eat meat. There is nothing wrong with abstaining from eating meat. What the Bible does say is that we should not force our convictions about this issue on other people or judge them by what they eat or do not eat. Romans 14:2-3 tells us, “One man’s faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him.”

So, in your take, Jesus would knowingly elect to be part of animal abuse.

This is the best argument for Christian veganism I've heard. There's a popular argument for Christian veganism at the moment that is throwing doubt on the word of God, I don't believe this helps and I don't believe it's necessary. In fact, it will only alienate vegans in the church more. As a Christian vegan I've faced hostility in church, I even had to sit through a sermon where a pastor was teaching that veganism is linked with paganism and contributed to the escalation of sin before the flood, which is why God told Noah to eat meat. This was done in a small church where everyone knew I was vegan. I pray that I will be able to answer people in the clear, well-articulated and non-confrontational way that this speaker does.

I think as a Christian and also a vegan I think going vegan my decision was for my health and taking care of the planet. Although other parts of the Bible permits eating animals its not ideal for us. I loved the fact that you mentioned its not about eating meat as a must but permitting. And yes were much healthier on a plant based diet.

"Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer. 6 If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed :" 1 Timothy 4:6+

It's pretty clear cut what it states in bible. It states God gave us every seed-bearing fruit, herb, plant, vegetable for our meat(food.) Every ancient scripture condemns killing animals for their flesh. It is an abhorration in the eyes of God.

The early church came out of the Essenes or Ebionites and they were vegetarian. Jesus’ brother was a lifelong vegetarian and drank no strong drink, and John (the Baptist) was part of the same clan and was also a vegetarian. How do Mary and Joseph raise James as the only vegetarian? No parent would do that, the whole family ate the same food. All of the animals who were acceptable for sacrifice were vegetarian animals. Jesus was described as the “Lamb of God”. Peter, the apostle, ate bread and olives and occasionally vegetables. John who Jesus gave his mother’s care to, he was a vegetarian. Most early Christians were vegetarian. Let’s face it, they did not have refrigeration or freezers and preserving food with salt was expensive. Eating plants was what most did except for the wealthy Romans. Now Roman soldiers and gladiators were “barley men” - ate beans and barley. But Roman citizens were getting meat from temple sacrifices. Why did Rome like their people to eat meat? Because it allowed a smaller Roman army legion to be able to control people who were fat and sick. It was a reason why Rome felt threatened by the Christians who were vegetarians, they were fit enough to fight back which Rome could not understand. Was this enough of a reason to change the text? Syrian manuscripts of the New Testament do not have Jesus multiplying fish but only the loaves, it does not have Jesus eating fish after his resurrection though if He did that is was to prove He was not a ghost. The Bible does not see fish as creatures having the “breath of life”. Even so in Jesus’ day, eating fish was safe, it clearly isn’t now.

Romans 14:1-3 v New International Version 1 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 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. 1 Timothy 4:1-4 New International Version 4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving

Daniel 1:11-15 11 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 12 "Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see."E) 14 So he agreed to this and tested) them for ten days. 15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.
