One of the reasons i feel kind of squicky about Christianity is because of the cannibalism aspect. Communion rituals. The idea of pretending to eat jesus’ flesh and blood is revolting
Why? Is that your prepping strategy?If people can provide where it says explicitly in scripture not to eat another man post it here. Thanks!
Cannibalism is not a symbolism I am comfortable with. In fact, it’s barbaric.But that's completely different. It's not revolting. We are doing what He commands. It's symbolic of having His sustaining life coursing through us.
Did you actually read that book? Anyways, cannibal comes from the Taino language.Why? Is that your prepping strategy?
According to Alexander Hislop in his book, The Two Babylons, the word cannibal has its origin in the the cana baal, or priests of Baal. It was their ceremonial action to eat the flesh of the human sacrifices. Clearly Satanic.
That's not the reason at all.But that's completely different. It's not revolting. We are doing what He commands. It's symbolic of having His sustaining life coursing through us.
It is the identification with His death on the cross. It is making the breaking of His body and the shedding of His blood personal to us, and that as we are taking communion on Sunday morning we are saying that the body of Jesus was broken that we may be made whole, and that He shed His blood that we may be totally cleansed from sin. It is also in recognition that He took the penalty for sin that we should have had. He sacrificed Himself on the cross for us, so that we may take up our cross daily and live under His Lordship.
Yes. There is. We are to emulate Christ. And loving neighbor and brother means not eating them.Shouldn't there be scriptural clarity on such an issue?
And loving neighbor and brother means not eating them.
Not to eat the flesh of unclean beasts (Lev. 11:4)If people can provide where it says explicitly in scripture not to eat another man post it here. Thanks!
Not to eat the flesh of unclean beasts (Lev. 11:4)
But surely we are not, as mankind fell from grace and the animals did not.But then surely man is the cleanest of beasts given that we are made in the image of our creator
If people can provide where it says explicitly in scripture not to eat another man post it here. Thanks!
After the flood God permitted Noah and his descendents to eat meat from clean animals.
in Leveticus and Deuteronomy there are lists of clean and unclean animals. They tak about animals, not people. People are made in the image of God and are therefore not animals.

On a desert Island? Fish and coconuts.But what if we were stranded on a deserted island and we made an agreement with one another that we could use the flash of one another to feed ourselves to Stave off starvation. Will it be okay then?
This kind of goes back to the scripture that talks about food sacrificed to idols. If the food is to be eaten with Thanksgiving in order to survive in the wilderness of a deserted island would it then be acceptable in the sight of the Lord since all parties agree to it?
