Bible Reading: Acts 15:29, Ezekiel 47:12, Rev. 22:2

Memory Verse: And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden. Genesis 2:16 (NIV)

Reno Omokri did a very good research on today’s topic. Below is an abridged version: In the beginning, God did not create humans and animals to be natural enemies who attack and kill each other for food. In Eden, and even after the fall of man began, both man and animals were created to be vegetarians (Genesis 1: 29-30). God put a little difference between the food of Man and animals. Man was only to eat fruits and vegetables that had seed in it while animals were allowed to eat any fruit and vegetable whether or not it had seeds. From Genesis 1 to Genesis 9, you will not find even one verse where any man or animal ate meat. God allowed man and animal to eat meat because the Great Flood that occurred during the time of Noah had destroyed all vegetation on earth and it took a while for the earth to be revegetated.

Noah and his children were the first set of human beings to ever eat meat (Gen. 9:3). Noah and his ancestors all lived extraordinarily long. It was only after Noah and his children started eating meat that their lifespan began to reduce. Doctors will tell you that if you want to live a long and healthy life, you must stop eating or reduce your intake of meat, especially red meat. What makes meat red? Blood. And what did Scripture say about blood? Read Deuteronomy 12:23. Japan is the nation with the highest life expectancy in the world. Why? They hardly eat meat and mostly eat their fish raw. It was illegal to eat meat in Japan until 1872, when Emperor Meiji lifted the ban. You will also notice that Jesus Christ ate twice after His resurrection. And at both times, He only ate fish (Luke 24:42-43, John 21:13). If you want to live a long, healthy and happy life, your chances are increased (but not guaranteed), if you can eat only fruit and vegetables, and fish with scales for animal protein. Eat organic fruit and vegetables (Dan 1:8, 12,15).

Quote: God did not create plants only for food, but also for medicine.
