Hi Patty:

Yes, God can do anything, but He doesn’t change the basics of how He created the heavens and the earth.

And part of this is giving human beings free will. We either have free will or we are robots; there’s no middle ground.

Human beings were given the responsibility to protect and care for the whole of God’s earthly creation, but most people have chosen (free will) to do the opposite and dominate the earth cruelly.

You and we have chosen (free will) to follow God’s intent and as a result we care deeply for the wellbeing of all other living beings. The pain, suffering, and death that we see bothers us greatly. And, because of this, we cannot give up; we must move forward to change the world by eliminating as much of the pain and suffering that we can and by encouraging other to do the same.

God has provided us with all kinds of wonderful plant foods that even make us much healthier than the people who eat animal products. All people can choose to eat plant foods and reject animal products, and we need to let them see the light.

The hardness of heart that you are encountering comes from people becoming indifferent to the suffering of animals, so that they don’t care about the animals that they put on their plates.

We know that there are other people and groups around that do the same things that you are doing. Check with http://www.animalkind.info

We hope this helps, and we look forward to hearing back from you.

In the Love of the Lord,

Frank and Mary
