  11. Was Jesus a Vegetarian?

    Someone in another discussion seems to argue that Jesus was an unfallen human, ie was bodily Perfect as well, not just Spiritually. This made me think though, if you make this argument, shouldn't Jesus be vegetarian? We see in Genesis that God commands Adam and Eve only to eat plants and the...
