Good for food

gallenwalsh:
In Genesis I believe it is, that God gave the man all the fruit bearing trees and herbs etc. to eat from nothing was mentioned regarding meat of any kind. I have thought about this for a while now is there any thing that negates the eating of animal flesh? I personally have been unable to find anything regarding that. Certainly the Israelites ate a bunch of meat and God fed them quail as well as manna.I just cannot help but think of the statement in the new testament regarding the lamb lying down with the loin and nothing shall hurt on Gods holy mountain.Am I mixing apples with oranges?

Hi gallenwalsh,

Here are a few Scriptures for you to consider.

1Co 10:23  "All things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up.
v. 24  Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.
v. 25  Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience.
v. 26  For "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof."
v. 27  If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

Rom 14:13  Then let us no more pass judgment on one another, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
v. 14  I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for any one who thinks it unclean.
v. 15  If your brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died.

mercy, peace and love

It would be a fruitful exercise for you to practise checking what you say. There is no such statement in the New Testament regarding a lamb lying down with a lion. You are among students who are exhorted to pay attention to the words. :)

Isa 11:6  The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

The Isa 11:6 Scripture is prophetic and symbolic. It speaks of a time when “the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”

Just an observation, the Scripture speaks of “that day” not today.

Not so. :)

Gen 1:29  And God said, Behold! I have given you every herb seeding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree seeding seed; to you it shall be for food.
 
Gen 1:30  AND (properly the whole, all ) to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which has in it a living soul every green plant is FOR FOOD; and it was so.

Greg, you did state one thing wrong.. God did not give the israelites Quail for manna.. He gave them the quail because they whined that the only thing they had to eat was manna..God sent them the Quail to satisfy their whining..I just thought I'd clear that up... You can read it there in Exodus 11...
