Nature's Trinity

“Thou Shalt Not Kill”

One of the Ten Commandments states “Thou shalt not kill.”

According to the Bible, in the beginning, humans and animals were plant and fruit eaters and in the first chapter of the first book of the Bible, Genesis 1:29 and God told the first people:

“Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.”

thou shalt not killSo obviously somebody got the translation of the texts wrong and instead of being a plant and fruit-eating earth as was God’s will, it now became flesh-eating. Read the text where it says I have given every green herb for meat it does not include every beast or fowl as meat; it says green herb which means all life on earth should be on a plant and fruit diet.

In antiquity, when the earth was still fertile by itself, no man ate flesh but lived off the fruits and plants that grew naturally.

When you kill or cause others to murder for you for your desire to eat meat you incur a karmic debt, this will have to be paid back in some form at some stage in your life or the next incarnation.

By continuing to eat meat, you condemn the next animal to be slaughtered to satisfy consumer demand.

The Discourse gave the following observations on the Origin of Inequality – The Notes by Jean Jacques Rousseau

Among the four-legged animals that eat meat, there are two distinguishing features; the formation of their teeth are pointed, like the dog, cat, wolf and the fox their intestinal tract is short to allow faster elimination.

The plant-eating animals such as the horse, cattle, sheep, and all the other land eating animals have blunted teeth and designed for eating vegetation.

Another observation between meat eaters and plant eaters is their number of young being born. With the flesh eaters such as cats, dogs, etc. they have six to eight litters, and plant eaters have one or two offspring at a time.

The number of teats which is two for each female in the plant eaters and it is six to eight in the meat eaters, such as the dog, cat, wolf, and other meat-eating animals.

Humans have blunted teeth, and the body is not built to accept the flesh of animals.

Ask yourself this question; why have so many of our creative geniuses of humanity have been vegetarians?

What Famous and Influential People are Saying About Vegetarianism

Here is a listing of famous vegetarians: Jesus, Buddha, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Leonardo Da Vinci, Plato, Socrates, Pythagoras, Emerson, Tolstoy, Gandhi, Thoreau, Voltaire. Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, and so many others.

George Bernhard Shaw said: “Animals are my friends …. and I don’t eat my friends.”

Albert Schweitzer said: “We need boundless ethics which will include the animals also.”

Albert Einstein said: “Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”

Leo Tolstoy, Novelist and Philosopher said: “Vegetarianism serves as the criterion by which we know that the pursuit of moral perfection on the part of humanity is genuine and sincere.” A human being can be healthy without killing animals for food.

Mahatma Gandhi said: “I hold flesh-food is unsuited to our species.”

Leonardo Da Vinci said: “I have from an early age abstained from meat, and the time will come when men will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the killing of people.”

Essene Orthodox Faith: Do not believe in the slaughter of animals are themselves, vegetarians.

Richard Gere, the actor, says: “As custodians of the planet, it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness.”

Alec Baldwin, the actor, says: “Every time we sit down to eat, we make a choice. Please choose vegetarianism. Do it for the animals. Do It for the environment and do it for your health.”

John Robbins, the author of ‘Diet for a New America’, wrote – It takes less water to produce a years’ food for a pure vegetarian than to produce a month’s food for a meat-eater.

As these famous names cannot fail to impress, we assume it is worth to take note and perhaps follow their example.

However soon you choose to become vegetarian/vegan make it for all the above reasons of the famous mentioned above, and you will feel less guilty for not killing another animal.

There are a lot of good reasons to switch to a vegetarian/vegan diet, health and well-being, ethical, environment, religious, concerns for the animals, vitality and longevity.

Your food choices determine the outcome of your health and wellbeing.

 

To the best of your health,

    The sad reality is we live in a society which continually hides the truth from us. Millions upon millions of innocent defenceless animals are tortured and abused every single day of their lives, resulting in their short time on earth full of pain and suffering to then be “humanely” killed all for no reason apart , from selfish human desire because of the way they taste. THERE IS NOTHING HUMANE ABOUT IT, imagine being kept inside a cage so small you can’t even stand, for weeks, lying in your own urine and poo, starving, dehydrated, cold and sore from lying on the stone cold concrete floor, no fresh air, no sunlight, just kept prisoner, before being sent off to be strung up and have your throat slit, and your beaten if you cry out in pain. How can people think this is OKAY??? Are humans so evil that they think this is acceptable? That this is right? STOP BUYING MEAT, the only way to end this unnecessary suffering is to stop paying for it!! There are so many alternatives to meat it’s unbelievable. Why choose to eat something that is more likely to give you cancer and diseases? That is full of carcinogens? That was once a precious little innocent baby just like the rest of us. Think about it. Make the right choice!!!

    No matter how you look at it. Humans are wrong for killing animals for food. There is no way in any part of history looking back for a million years that any God or Jesus allowed mass breeding of animals for others to eat. There is no where in religion where it’s okay to make a profit from slaughtering animals. Man has convinced themselves it’s okay to slaughter billions of animals for food. The majority of humans kill animals and eat their flesh even though they’re far from starving. They eat it for the enjoyment. Too many over eat and are over weight because of eating animals flesh. I have never met or do I know one human that only kills an animal because there is no food to eat. Every fruit tree produces fruit and it will eventually fall off the tree and rot. The tree/plant doesn’t die when it gives us food. The fruit would fall regardless. We were meant to eat plants, but man is selfish and greedy. Every priest, rabbi, etc. are not teaching their people honestly when they teach it’s okay to kill for food. They are not in the image of God. God never said it was okay to kill animals daily to eat. So they are lying to themselves as well as millions of others. They’re truly living in sin. There is no God that would approve of mass farms, factory farms or keeping of animals just to eat their flesh. Until every man comes to realize that. We will never advance to a higher plane. And most of all. Man is living in a lie day after day their entire life by believing it’s not a sin to eat animals that are mass produced, abused, neglected, slaughtered, put in a package and shipped al over the world and sold in a fancy convenient store. Man has created a mass slaughtering on a daily basis for their own selfish needs and then convinced each other it’s not a sin. All that eat meat are selfish, lying, greedy sinners accept or not. There would be no sin if you lived a vegan life, but eating meat daily several times a day no matter how you look at it. Is wrong. Even if you twist the words of the Bible for your own wants. When I leave this body I won’t be judged for killed g and eating flesh daily. It so amazing how our religious leaders have even convinced themselves and everyone else it’s ok to kill, over eat and think they are free from sin, because they practice a religion. Millions of sinners for millions of years. No wonder the world can never change for the better. If every man we’re kind to all animals. Our world would change rapidly for the better, because that would mean they have become peaceful beings and cause no harm and we could all live in peace. Imagine a world where every man was kind to every animal. That would lead to kindness across the world. Surely a higher power couldn’t judge you for becoming kind to all. Sadly man will continue their selfish ways to satisfy a hunger for flesh and blood because they’ve convinced themselves it’s ok.
