Our subjects cover: animals, religion (Christian, Jewish and
others); diet and lifestyle (vegan and vegetarian); and other miscellaneous
subjects.
Just to add one thing, it is important that we make our views fit the Bible,
not the opposite way around. God gave us His Word for a reason. I do not eat
meat because I believe God does not want me to. That does not mean I degrade
someone else who feels differently. God will deal with them if He needs to.
Again, I am not God. A good example is I have my nose pierced for a
spiritual reason. Years ago, I heard about the Year of Jubilee. Those who
were slaves were allowed to go free. If the person who was bound to slavery
chose to stay a willing slave, that person's ear would be pierce to show the
world that (s)he was a willing slave. I felt convicted that I needed this
type of symbol to show that I am a willing servant of Jesus Christ. So I
pierced my nose. Does this mean that everyone else will have the same
conviction? Of course not! I have Christian friends who do not celebrate
Halloween. I have Christian friends who say there is no harm.
It's all a
matter of personal conviction. I see no harm in telling others how we
believe about animals - out of love and compassion. And God is definitely a
God of love and compassion toward all creatures. There is no doubt in my
mind about that. But that does not mean that if there is a Verse in the
Bible that makes me question that I am going to disregard that Verse. God's
Word is God's Word. I may not know God's reasoning for that Verse being
there, but it has a purpose - even if it does not fit my own purpose.
I hope that makes sense. LOL
