Did jesus eat meat or was he a vegetarian?

Asked by jumpinjesi over 2 years ago, 14 answers.

I am still convinced that Jesus was a woman but not to argue that right now, did jesus eat meat or was he/she a vegetarian? Was it a sin or something to eat meat and be the son of god/daughter of god?

There isn't significant evidence of jesus being or not being a vegetarian. He did eat fish in the Bible though on a few occassions.

And about the whole Jesus was a woman thing... Jesus was a historical figure and was a man. (I'm athiest... so that's pretty much all I recognize him as.)

In those days, meat was the primary means of nutrition. There's a lot of talk about sheep, fish and other animals in the bible. More than likely he ate meat.

One thing though... There's a lot of talk about fasting as well.

Jesus a woman ?

Here's what the Bible says: John 3:16 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.

If you don't beleive it, obviously you either 1) don't beleive the Bible is the word of God....or....2) you're calling God a liar

What part of "HIM" is not understandable ?

While AmBlessed takes it literally without thinking, I have another take.

If you think about it, in those days, women were more like property. So chances are, it was a man. Even it it were a women, because of the paternalistic nature of the church, it would have been changed in the texts to be a man.

Thanks for the attempted insult, but that's what the word of God says....He said it, I beleive it (God led man the words to write - divinely inspired)....He doesn't make mistakes

Feel free anytime to belittle me for my belief in God's word and the Lord Jesus Christ for He too was ridiculed....say and do as you will but someday you (as well as I) will stand before the Judgement Seat of God....you have every right to ridicule me (for I am not perfect - far from) and the choice to either accept or reject Jesus Christ....there's no 'riding the fence'

Whooaaaahhhhh!! No insult intended. I apologize. (Sorry for being an agnostic)

I just wanted to offer a non-belief based perspective on the matter based on my reading of both the bible, and also other literature on the subject.

I certainly accept your apology....it would have been helpful if you had indicated ' I am an agnostic' in your answer....you see your answer carries the label "ADVISOR"....you do say above 'no insult intended' but what is (your words) "amblessed...without thinking"

God Bless You !!

I'ts just that (as an agnostic), I tend not to take anything as gospel (pardon the pun), without thinking and researching it first from several sources.

If you believe the Bible Adam and Eve were vegetarians. In early Genesis God tells Adam and Eve that they may eat every seed bearing plant and fruit. After the flood when Noah emerges from the arc God tells him that every creature of the earth is his to eat.

Well Jesus did eat meat. I'm not sure what he ate it at his home but what those whose houses he went to he ate what they served.

Fish was a staple in the diet of the region, and there are many references to this in the bible...

and it is dangerous to try to make the scriptures say what they don't say... many are doing that, but, it will be to their own peril...

It says what it means.. and means what it says...

Stick to it...or be led astray...

Blessings..

Yes Jesus ate meat! Lol.

He did however follow the dietary laws laid out in Deutoromony. He was a firm believer/follower of the Torah ( first five books of the bible).

I'm sure (I'm assuming XD) that he ate chicken, and beef, and lamb.

However, pork, lobster, shrimp, scavangers and such - he didn't eat.

Look it up, it's in there.

Fish and lamb to be sure. Actually fish is eaten by some vegetarians. But lamb is a red meat.
Jesus a woman? "Him" is often translated from a nuetral word, but "son of," "only begotten son," leaves no doubt.
The Holy Spirit is the "feminine" part of God, but really can't be a "woman" because it is a nonmaterial thng: a Spirit.
