[QUOTE="Beastt, post: 20508457, member: 28935"] Well, certainly different people have different opinions on this. My personal opinion is that he didn't. I see no reason to accept the Bible as other than the writings of men from a long, long time ago, who believed that there was a God who saw their enemies as they did, saw justice as they did, saw the world as they did and pretty much approved of whatever they did. Many people still seem to see it that way today. I can understand that people 2,000 years ago wouldn't know that you can't simply change what an animal eats without changing the digestive system of the animal. Of course, a dog can be put on a vegetarian diet, but I don't know that it's good for the dog. And a rabbit can be made to eat beef, but it does the same thing to the rabbit that it does to people -- leads to heart disease. So for me, this is but one more reason to believe that the Bible was the result of some well-intending, but somewhat ignorant men, who truly believe what they wrote. They thought killing a child was an appropriate punishment for cursing the parents. They thought the death penalty was appropriate for adultery. They thought it should be okay to attack the enemy and kill, not just the soldiers, but also the women, children, infants and animals. They thought that if they wanted to consume animal flesh, their God would approve. And they probably looked for signs as people do today. I remember when I used to believe, how I would look for indications of what I wanted and take them seriously. So my short answer is; God didn't. Men did. But that's my answer and it probably won't work for most people here. I base it on the evidence in human physiology, and in the Bible. God would have known what the authors of the Bible didn't know -- diet isn't just a matter of choice, it's also a matter of physiology. [/QUOTE]
