Whatsoever Is True

Veganism & Christianity

Jason Korol

"...through the insecurity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.  For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer." 1 Timothy 4:2-5

The way to spot all false teaching is simple: it always diminishes the reality of sin and, therefore, the majesty and necessity of Christ.  All forms of asceticism have this in common.  They attempt to "fix the self" through abstaining from something that God created.  There's nothing wrong with the foods God has created - including meat.  It's not what goes into us that's the problem, but what comes out of sinful hearts.
