Adventist
Church is not vegetarianism in confession of faith but a very large
number believers of this church are vegetarians according to the
recommendations of Ellen White.
Vegetarianism
is not an invention of our time, it is known for thousands of years,
especially for religion East. At the beginning I want to say my
position on this issue. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle,
especially clean and unclean foods. for many years I was a
vegetarian. but deliberately I walk up to the pros and cons and here
are my conclusions:
The veggie you could be the
reasons, religious, health or humanitarian grounds. I particularly
interested in biblical look at this issue, About vegetarianism has
accumulated a lot of myths. I try to explain
Vegetarianism
makes such a man is gentler, has a better character
This
is not true vegetarians were the greatest despots in the world, does
not change the way of thinking does not make that person does not
lie, it is not lusty, not greedy, less anger. Vegetarians rely on it
that before the flood, people do not eat meat, so when Cain killed
Abel and the cause was jealousy and hatred. his vegetarianism did not
help him it has not changed him.
The most famous vegetarian in
Poland is a politician and MP Janusz Palikot, someone wrote in a
commentary. "I do not know why, Palikot is to be among the
most famous of meatless diet? And what will die healthier? Palikot is
more known for his vulgar and aggressive statements and this is the
most famous.
Vegetarians
are healthy people from other
Not entirely
true, vegetarians are not immune to viruses and colds, suffer from
the same diseases as the rest, you know that If other people drink,
smoke or Drug themselves, in which case a vegetarian actually live
longer. Medically, such people what they
eat chicken or goose, there are not more sick than those who did not
eat. / if chicken was not fed chemicals /
Vegetarianism
is biblical.
The Bible nowhere
encourages vegetarianism. Every Israelite had to eat meat, it was an
order from God, at every Passover Israelite necessarily have to eat
the paschal lamb meat.
Before
the flood, people do not eat meat
This argument occurs
most frequently, but the Bible does not have the text, that the
people before the flood did not eat meat, only text what it is saying
to Noah that "give you meat for food," which suggests as if
he has not eaten meat, but this text says that God now gives the meat
Noah. the reason is one, when the flood waters were abated there was
no plants or vegetables or fruit, so what Noah had to eat? He had
only meat of animals from the ark. Since vegetarianism is healthier
that's what God would change for the worse diet, less healthy and can
continue to eat vegetables. God changed from necessity, not from the
termination of vegetarianism.
Now a
small inconvenience for the Adventist vegetarians E.White wrote that
the people before the flood they were eating meat, so Adventist or
deny Ellen White or you lose your only argument for biblical support
of vegetarianism.
"Polygamy
began relatively early, despite order decided by God in the
beginning. The Lord gave Adam one wife, and clearly
He
announced its willingness in this regard. However, after the fall of
the people they have decided to follow their own sinful desires,
resulting in crime and wickedness spread rapidly. They not respected
bond of marriage or ownership.
Who wanted a wife or goods of his
neighbor, took them by force, and people indulged in cruelty. To
answer the pleasure of living animals and eating meat made them even
more cruel and bloodthirsty, until they began to treat human life
with equally terrifying indifference.
World existed briefly,
but crime has become so big and widespread that God has already
He
could no longer stand it and said, "I will destroy man whom I
have created from the face of the earth" Genesis. 6.7

The Bible says that in the time
of Old Testament for Nehemiah meat was the staple diet Neh.
5.18
(18): Every day one ox, six
select sheep, and some birds were prepared for me, and every ten days
all kinds of wine in abundance. Despite all this I did not require
the food allotted to the governor, for the work was demanding on this
people.
A
vegan diet is the healthiest
There is no scientific
evidence that eating cheese, eggs or drink milk is a health risk, of
course, if it is not a diet extreme, how one eats only apples that
get vitamin deficiency, or only the cheese, but in a normal varied
diet there is no evidence that dairy harm health.
The Bible says prophecy about
Jesus in Izaj.7,15 "eat cream and honey shall he eat" and
these are of animal origin
Health reform includes a whole, and
it is a wide range and also applies to mental health, stress,
physical movement, because just not eating meat can not be anything
if one eats cake cream that are worse than meat or drink colored
drinks created at the same chemistry
Animal
flesh is harmful
There
is no scientific evidence that eating meat from animals clean is
harmful, that there is something harmful in mutton, chickens, goose
or fish, skipping is that livestock from farms are fed hormones and
antibiotics, but I'm talking about pure meat which recommends the
Bible.
The Israelites generations did not eat the meat of animals
unclean, and yet Jesus healed from dozens of different diseases, not
eating unclean meats did not protect them from diseases.
Clean
and unclean meat with 3 Moj.11
Adventism
says that health reasons God gave the list of clean and unclean
animals and cites in this regard on the text of
2Moj.15,26
(26):
He said, "If you will diligently obey the LORD your God, and do
what is right in his sight, and pay attention to his commandments,
and keep all his statutes, then all the diseases that I brought on
the Egyptians I will not bring on you, for I, the LORD, am your
healer."
But
the text does not have any connection with a list of clean and
unclean animals. what does this tell - of all the commandments, which
is the whole law and not about foods, | If you follow my rights, "or
all the provisions including both sacred, sacrifice, washing,"
does not affect you plague that fell on Egypt '/ translation. Polish
Tysiąclecia Bible /
So
is not eating PORK has an effect on it that does not touch us plague
of flies, frogs, or hornets ?. Our healthy lifestyle does not protect
against these plagues. God says that He is the protection and the
doctor and not our diet.
Reason
for clean and unclean
The only rationale there are in the
end of the list of clean and unclean animals is holiness rather than
health
3Moj.11,44
(44): for I am the
LORD your God and you are to sanctify yourselves and be holy because
I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any of the swarming
things that creep on the ground
Holiness
is a spiritual matter and not care. Likewise, animals identified as
unclean was not allowed to make a sacrifice, and there is nothing to
do with health. So let's look at it from the spiritual side. After
the fall of man the world was divided into what is sacred and sinful,
they are poisonous and medicinal plants, bacteria that help in
digestion and damaging the body. animals clean and parasites. Demons
have access to what impure, why would through unclean foods give
access to our interior demons. It is certain also that if something
is unclean and it is poisonous, everything that belongs to Satan it
destroys. But the important thing here is that this list of animals
is not given for reasons of health,
Vegetarians
live about five years longer
And what does it matter that
someone dies at the of 83 or 88 years old , and so they both have
sclerosis, if it were that vegetarians are about 5 times wiser than
the others it would be just an argument. But because of being a
vegetarian wisdom does not come. This argument would make sense only
for people who were born in the house Advent and lifelong the person
did not eat the meat, then one could compare the life expectancy meat
eaters and non-eaters. But most are people who came to Adventism at
the age of approx. 30, 40 or 50 years old they all have their lives
destroyed health, so their life does not matter. Currently, lay
persons aged 80 or 90 years old eat meat and there is no impact on
their life expectancy.
The Bible does not endorse or
humanitarianism or that in times bibliinych animals had to be
slaughtered for sacrificial, and it was order from God
