Is hunting a christian sport?

I dont want to call this person out, but they claim to be a 'christian' women yet in one of there pictures the are holdning a deer with a caption that jokingly oh deer.I dont think that is funny .and how on earth are you going to cliam to be a christian yet hunt? I dont belive that I have ever read any where in the bible that we should hunt for fun... Please help me out here im confused...

if you hunt and eat its christian if its for fun then no

ONLY IF ITS NOT FOR FUN OR TO SHOW OFF. IF YOU KILL A SINGLE ANIMEL TO EAT IT ITS OKAY IF YOU KILL 10 TO FEED 2 PEOPLE ITS WRONG. GREED IS A SIN AND SO IS KILLING FOR FUN AND SHOWING OFF.

My family is Catholic and my dad and brothers hunt. I don't see anything wrong with hunting if it's to feed your family.

My family hunts and eat the deer meat In the bible they catch fish so whats the difference?

hunting is hunting, no matter your religious beliefs.
I have fun hunting.
I eat what I kill.
occasionally I do hunt for a big buck, most times I settle for a small buck or doe.
the decision rests solely with me- no one else.
the world is getting way too sensitive.

im not exactly sure
because christians arnt all vegetarians, vegans, animal activists, ect
I would assume it would be okay for there religion
if it isnt though
its most likely a new rule to christianity

I think that you're going to find all varieties of opinion here from Christians, because I think that the Bible has nothing in particular to say which is anti-hunting. After all, in its earliest stages it describes hunter/gatherer communities, and then moves on to communities where animal herding (and therefore eating) were the way of life. A modern Christian has the luxury of deciding where their own ethics lie in terms of eating meat and /or hunting. For most of Bible times, there was little choice. Modern Christians will come up with a variety of ethical stances, depending on their background and inclinations.

My personal stance is that I eat meat but wouldn't hunt. I have no quibbles with Christian friends who are hunters or vegetarians, though - I think that there is no one Christian point of view on this issue, and that there need't be.

According to the Bible in the garden of Eden all the animals lived peacefully and ate only plants. After the flood that wiped out the vegetation God told man that he could eat every moving thing on Earth. So, according to the Bible, before the flood man was vegetarian and God only allowed us meat after the flood. One could argue that today plant foods are plentiful again and that Christians should return to being vegetarian.

Some Christian vegetarians take 'thou shall not kill' to include animals but otherwise there is no place in the Bible that I know of that condemns eating meat. Most Christians interpret the commandment as 'thou shall not murder' or unlawfully take another person's life (thus allowing war, self-defense, or executing convicted prisioners).

***Is hunting a Christian, sport?***

Yes, well every now and then I hunt Christians for sport, but with the rise of obesity it really isn’t much of a sport anymore but rather an act of mercy. :-)

This IS a joke

lol

lol! the wonders of punctuation!

its so irritating how if you say you are 'christian' people judge you. a long time ago christians hunted and fished... they made sacrifices...you can read about them in the bible...how they sacrificed their...cattle or whatever...of...fished and such.

just because someone is a christian, doesnt mean they sit in church all day everyday.

don't judge that lady. just because she is christian doesn't mean she can't do things that aren't related to church. she probably is a very believeing christian. she just likes to hunt. I know I am. I hunt every season. yet I also go to church and believe very much that Christ died for me and everyone. so don't judge it usually gets people into trouble anyway.

lol. This wins the FUNNIEST question award...

I don't care who is doing the shooting, hunting is not something I support...

In the Bible it states that God gave us the animals of the earth to eat, and blah blah blah.

Hunting for fun is okay with me, as long as you eat the meat. I'd rather hunt an animal that has had a full life than eat chicken meat that came from a chicken bred to die. That's just my opinion.

My take on it is just don't worry about it. I'm not a Christian, but I respect the religion and know a bit about it's main points. One of those points is that God will judge all people, so we don't really have to.

There's a group of guys that meet and they are members of the Christian Outdoorsmen Organization. Most of the guys a avid marksmen and they do hunt deer, moose, turkey, bear. They are fully licensed with the appropriate tags etc. They also have competitions using fake targets for sport. The rule is 'you kill it, you eat it'. { small disclaimer } This does not apply to fellow hunters.

personally I think that all people that hunt are sick in the head... hunting animals that cant deffend themselves...wheres the fun in that...its wrong and immorral

and people who get kicks out of it need their heads testing!!!
