Do you kill insects?

[Not David]

So are bacteria and viruses and fleas and ticks and bedbugs. Your point?

I never denied that either, your point?

 

[Not David]

I'm sorry that you are going through this difficulty. Praying for you David. (((hug)))

Thanks Brinny!

It represents my sadness for my current situation.

Do you do it because it is necessary?
Remember they are creation of God.

I do from time to time. But I do recognise them as God's creation, and go easy on the little blighters, i.e. I let them live some times, and try to save the ants from the microwave before turning it on.

Generally I don't kill insects as I love most of them - including spiders, but I will kill ants, roaches & flys if they invade my home all the others receive mercy and are simply thrown out.

I always thought that a good way to get rid of tailgaters would be to have a bumper sticker that says "Warning! I brake for insects"....

 

[robycop3]

Yes, I kill mosquitos, flies, ticks, fleas, lice, etc.

Dio I believe it's sinful? Of course not! Something has died so we can eat! Somewhere a horse or cow died so little Fifi can eat. That's the way God set up the world. (But remember, God's gonna do away with both food & stomachs, according to 1 Cor. 6:13 !)

Spiders scare me. I always see them out of the corner of my eye before the quickly go scampering off. I go after them with whatever i can find (even windex) before they go into hiding and then come out again, and worse, have babies, etc.

I like that pic, LOL!

There's a huge spider living on top of the upper cabinets in our kitchen right next to the sink. My girls are determined to get him before he gets us!

American Christians believed in the dominion mandate for North America. Sometimes they negotiated Native Americans to move to new territory. Sometimes they slaughtered the resistance.

WADR, we don't know that these people were actually Christians, i.e. truly following Christ. It's obvious that some of them were not. I don't want to turn this thread into a debate about this, but comments like this really bother me.

we have to kill in order to survive. Remember, even plants are God's creation. We are stewards of his creation and there are responsible ways of doing this. I don't see killing a mosquito biting your arm as an irresponsible

We kill them.
Also don't think that God thought too highly of snakes.

I don’t generally but occasionally a certain spider looks particularly menacing and I kill it out of fear that it will harm my cat. But then I feel guilty.

Which is all quite silly, since I eat meat..

Yeah,sometimes, if they need killing. I kill animals too. And eat them.

Nor do I. It is merely a part of the unspoken question about life being sacred, tho, specifically on insects.

 

[Kenny'sID]

Do you try to take them out of your house as harmless as possible?

Sometimes I take them out, and sometimes I "TAKE THEM OUT"!

It all depends on the insect.

 

[Lost4words]

I have chased a few spiders in my time. Fought with some too. Woken with them on me. Found them trying to steal food from my bowl. They are a bit chewy but overall i like the taste.

It is a self-defense mechanism, I cannot help it. The passions of my flesh are too strong.
