#9)- JESUS THE VEGETARIAN;
There are many references in the Bible that would indicate that vegetarianism is the holy diet of the Biblical saints. -(Gen. 1:29, 8:20-9:6, Dan 1:12-15 & 1:20, Ex. 16:14-35,
Is. 11:6-9, 65:25, 66:3, Ex. 47:12, Mat. 10:29, John 1:1-3, Acts 10:6-10, Rom. 14:21, Col. 1:15-16, 2nd Tim. 4:1-5, Rev. 2:4
Now many people will point out that the Bible says that Jesus ate FISH, however it is equally true that he said he spoke in parables (metaphors) that only the Apostles could understand -(Mat. 13:10-13, 13:35, Luke 8:10). It is important to note that half of Jesus’ Apostles were fishermen and that the fish represented the soul of Man to early Christians. Therefore many of these “FISH-STORIES” were obviously not about fish, but rather about fishing for souls.
In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve were vegetarian, “Ha Adam” means “THE FARMER” and “Ha Eden” means “THE FARM” in Hebrew. This was the “GENESIS” of agricultural societies on Earth. Jesus’ apostles came from a Pre-existing CULT called the “ESSENES”, of which Jesus’ cousin John the Baptist was the leader. It is well documented that the Essenes were vegetarians.
