Frequently Asked Questions
I personally never saw this perspective until I became a Christian
Universalist. I always mocked anything animal rights or vegetarian in
nature prior to becoming a Universalist. The Hosea 2:18 and Jeremiah
31:27-28 covenant are fairly straight forward in the Scriptures.
However, for a lot of very thoughtful Christians, it would be nearly
impossible for them to embrace this, as it was for me, while the eternal
hell issue still looms on the horizon. If some of the people that you've
ever known and cared about are going to be torched forever for failing
to follow a prescribed behavior from any evangelical organization that
you can think of, irrespective of their sincerity, integrity, and
meekness before the LORD and their fellow man, then a lot of people are
going to frantically and erroneously conclude that this covenant is
utter rubbish in the light of the gloomy gospel that they entertain that
tells them that no matter how hard they pray and love others, that
there's inevitably going to be a lot of people that you cared about that
are going to be pushed away by God for all of eternity. While you might
not go there, and while you may possibly be able to miraculously keep
the two issues separate and distinct in your mind, there are a lot of
people who emotionally would see no relevance to the animal gospel,
while to them the gospel of Jesus Christ is only potentially good news
to each and every creature, rather than actually being good news to each
and every creature. Go on to Why is it wrong to call
someone either a bitch or a jack ass? Why are the names of animals used
in slang, frustration, or anger considered profanity? |
