Not all animals were created to be eaten - man's body has all the tell-tale signs of a vegetarian creature, but by His love we are allowed to eat lamb on Pesach, and otherwise certain other animals who can "take it" on a global level without minor dwindling of their numbers adversely affecting the eco system.
Consider mankinds abuse of the swine - the pink, fat and muscle-less to the extent of which they barely can stand pigs being raised by modern man were not really created by Elohim - they have been abused and bred by men. God created boars / swine, which also had long tusks like elephants - mankind bred these teeth away, like they are cutting off and taking away the elephants tusks and the rhino's horn. Their removal from God's divinely planned and carefully balanced eco system is a blasphemy.

The book of Joshua told the Israelite army invading "Canaan" that they should not cut down more TREES* that necessary to create their siege weapons - why would we cut down more animals than necessary? Why hunt to extinction? Why hunt so many different types just to satisfy our tongues and pleasure-senses?

* - We should consider mankinds abuse of the rainforest in direct contradiction of the principle established in Joshua.

So what are you suggesting? That we all become vegetarians except at Pesach?

I take all my lessons from Yah'shua and I observe how He ate. Admittedly, we don't have a whole lot about His food likes. However, from all that we do know, he was not only an omnivore during His mortal walk but also ate meat (e.g. fish) after His resurrection. I must also consider those like the Inuits and Lapps living in the Arctic where there are no vegetables and they must eat fish, whale, seal or reindeer.

Personally I believe in eating in meat in moderation. And whenever I have come across advocates of vegetarianism in the Christian or Messianic community I have, in most cases, encountered New Age spirits, especially when such vegetarians intimate that their are either living a 'higher' law to meat-eaters or that meat-eaters are somehow sinful. My retort, when such intimations are made, is that they are accusing the Son of Man of being inferior or a sinner.

I have no objections to people living a vegetarian lifestyle if they do so for personal reasons provided they do not load their practice with spiritual claims. I do wonder what they will do at Pesach and how they would have responded had they been on the boat with Peter and the other apostles when Yah'shua cooked them a fish breakfast.

Finally, I note what Paul said: ""he who is weak eats only vegetables" (Rom.14:2). That pretty much sums it up IMHO - vegetarianism leads to physical feebleness. He adds that this is not a judgment, just a biological fact - people must eat (kosher) meat or not eat meat as they see fit. So spiritually it does not matter either way, but healthwise it is clearly better to eat meat just as Yah'shua did.

I did NOT suggest vegetarianism, no.
I did write "by His love we are allowed to eat lamb on Pesach, and otherwise certain other animals who can "take it" on a global level without minor dwindling of their numbers adversely affecting the eco system."

"Otherwise" might have been a confusing term, but it means on other days and times than Pesach, whenever you feel it is appropriate to.

OK, got you - understood. We may be on the same base here. I certainly believe in moderation. And I do believe that AFTER the Millennium there will be no meat-eating any longer (as there won't be any need to). Sorry if I picked you up wrong.

Lev, I am thankful that you care enough to keep me in check ;) I wish you would have asked for me to clarify my obscure language so that my position became more clear, since my language can indeed be abstract at times.
Moderation is, as you say, a part of our belief - the Biblical way is the true Middle Way which is hypothesized by many thinkers and philosophers.
And yes, we're also in agreement regarding the Millennium.
