Now, normally I don't mind vegetarians, but I really hate it when they get all superior and preachy about the evils of eating meat. Once I was on a date with this girl and she was a vegetarian, and she started on my about the steak I was eating. So I looked at her and said, "If you want to only eat vegetables, that's fine with me, but the way I see it, this cow used to be a vegetarian, and look how things turned out for him."
RO 14:1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2 One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. 4 Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

My church friends think its wierd, for some reason ever since i was little i didnt eat any type of meat,(much like many people dont want to eat brussel sprouts lol). Just thought it was odd, wonder if anyone else was the same as me, cause i dont know anyone!

tinkerbell said:Did someone actually say this? This is so not true for so many reasons:
#1 Jesus ate fish
#2 This means that we have salvation by faith, not works
#3 The health message is not a message of salvation. The Bible does say that our bodies are the temple of God and that we must take care of them, but I'm sure there are some non-vegitarians who take better care of their bodies than vegetarians
Yes, I am a vegetarian for health purposes but it has nothing to do with me going to heaven or not.

I knew a few people who just didn't like meat. As long as you get your protein and are healthy, I don't think there is anything to worry about.

Cliff2 said:If you are a very strict vegetarian then you need to be aware that you will not get all your B group vitamins from vegetables.
Take a good B vitamin suppliment to go along with good vegetables.
I take one as now after many years I found out that I am B12 defficient and it needs to be built up. It is not so bad that I need injections but it is still below what it should be. I have only recently found this out, so be careful.
Lack of vitamin B12 will affect your nervous system and growth. Long term it can also have an impact on many aspects of a persons development.
