Is it un Christian to be a vegan?!


Question: no


Answers: no

i don't know...

no, of course not.

It is un-Christian to be so clueless about Christianity.

Yes, because you cant take communion since it is Jesus' body...which I would say is meat. (at least symbolically)

No, because it is a choice that you make. You are supposed to make good choices in your life, and as long as what you do isn't detrimental to your body....it is a good choice. You also have "free will", which enables you to do as you see fit for yourself....."God helps those who help themselves"....good luck with your endeavor!

Hmm... Interesting question. The bible contradicts itself on this, and I think that that's enough reason to forget the whole thing.

No, just has it is not un Christian to be a meat eater.

If it is, then find another religion. There are plenty of them out there.

do vegans believe in transubstantiation or eat animal crackers? I dont think it is un christian, and i am a mail-order reverend, so i would know. If it was un-christian would you stop doing it or would you believe in your own view of whats moral? I think if there is a god that he would be cool with you taking what is usually translated as "dominion over" to mean "care for," dont you?

Im a christian and im a vegan, I beleive in god and i also believe that all animals are equal including humans. I believe in the big bang, evolution not creatisiom(I spelled that wrong i think) But i also beleive there is a higher being like god, Krishna, Buddha etc.
Just most animals are incapable of intelligent though except us and we should know better then to kill for the belly. OVERALL if someone tells you thats it unchristian tell them that the way i beleive in god it isn't(And who are you to tell me if im unchristian).

I don't see why not it's not a sin not to eat animals. It's perfectly fine

no there is no dietary restrictions on christianity. nothing you can't eat or have to eat. it all comes down to personal convictions.

This is actually a difficult question. Some people think that yes, it is unChristian to be a vegan. There are many Biblical references to eating meat and other animal products. There is a passage in the Bible in which G-d promises to deliver Israel to a land flowing with "milk and honey" which indicates that those are both good things. G-d also gives man dominion over land and beast in a passage in the Bible.

But if you look at Genesis, you notice something interesting...

And God said, "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 food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so." Genesis 1:29-30

This indicates that plants are supposed to be food for all living things, including people. Notice that G-d does not indicate that animals are food for people. In fact, in the Garden of Eden, the Garden (not the critters) was what was for eatin'. (Yuk yuk... garden of eatin'... sorry.)

In essence, it depends on who you ask and where you look. I guess that from a Biblical standpoint, you could make a case that G-d initially intended for humans to eat only plants. However, after humans got kicked out of Paradise for eating from the wrong tree, all bets were off. So I think you can in good conscience be a vegan Christian.

No! I don't see why it would be un-christian!

No ... just uncouth.

No. There is nothing in the teachings of Jesus that dictates what one should or should not eat.

Yes because jesus ate meat and eggs and milk and suff but mostly bread and wine
