Jesus...would he approve?

Thou shall not kill.


Jesus would certainly want as little suffering as possible in this world.


If we desire to please Jesus then we should take a look at all aspects of our lives and assess whether our actions resonate with his mood and desires. Our diet is a good place to start. If the content of our meal involves the killing of a living entity that would otherwise run away if it knew you were trying to kill it, should you still indulge? Remember, the reason why it would run away is to avoid pain and suffering.


If you decide to go ahead and indulge in this meal then my question is, what does it mean to accept Jesus into your heart?


This is an important question.


Whether Jesus was a strict vegetarian or not may or may not be convincing by the following clip. What is convincing about the clip is that factory farms for "raising" or "farming" any type of animal meat causes extreme amounts of suffering to the animal.
