It really depends on whose pet it is 

I had a pet pig when I was about 8 years old.  I kept it on my grandpa's farm.   Darn thing got up to a bit over 600 pounds and as mean as you could imagine.   It hurt to kill him, but he sure did taste good.

We Christians stand in the grace of God. That's why we can use resources that unbelievers have contributed to the production of.

I'm sure the car I drive wasn't fabricated and manufactured and delivered to me solely by Christians, and yet my use of it is sanctioned by God because of my faith in Him.

Christianity teaches that certain Old Testament (OT) dietary laws no longer apply to followers of Jesus. Here are a few New Testament (NT) scriptures that address this topic:

• Mark 7:18-19: Jesus says, "Are you so dull? Don't you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? For it doesn't go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body." In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.

• Acts 10:13-15: Peter has a vision where he sees a variety of animals and is told, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." Peter initially resists, saying he has never eaten anything impure or unclean. The voice speaks to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."

• Romans 14:14: Paul writes, "I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean."

• Colossians 2:16-17: Paul advises, "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ."

These scriptures highlight the belief that Jesus' teachings and the new covenant in Him supersede the dietary laws from the Old Testament. 

Thanks Michael

I had a similar experience other than the mean part... It was a Herford and Angus cross call lula bell I rode around on her and never bucked me off - it was like she was a big dog that would follow me around... She too went under the knife and was delicious

You may be right about this.

When a username appears in red, as the one above does, that means they no longer have access to the Inner Court main forum here and are restricted to posting in the Outer Court Pavilion.

We get a number of users who re-invent themselves once they lose Inner Court privileges, but unless they abide by the Terms of Service it's a case of rinse and repeat when their subterfuge becomes obvious.

The Bible allows you to eat meat, but you should not eat meat that has not been correctly slaughtered. For God said in Leviticus 17:13: “So if any of the sons of Israel or of the strangers who live among them catches an animal or bird that can be eaten while hunting, he shall shed its blood and cover it with earth.” The meat that is in the supermarkets was not slaughtered the way God wants it. The blood of the animals was not covered with earth as God commanded. For this reason, you should not eat meat from supermarkets.

The modern world is sick. Abundance is great. But no respect is given to the blood. The blood of everyone is the soul. The blood must be covered with earth otherwise the meat is not allowed. It would be better to obey God.

If everyone did follow the Makers Diet( there's a book by the name btw 👍) wed be a much healthier society for sure but that's besides the point

I don't know what religion you practice or what traditions you follow but your telling Christians that "we' are forbidden to eat meat that is not prepared as defined in Levitical Law- which probably means you're not a Born Again Christian or a very confused one indeed because we are not bound by the Law,we are under God's Grace because of our Faith in Christ Jesus

So firstly,I'm not even Jewish so I'm not even Free from the bondages of Law becausd I was never under it to begin with.Secondly, I (we) am not mandated or required to uphold any dietary restrictions,whatever I do to please God is not done out of obligation,not by rituals or traditions of men but because I Love God in Christ

His Grace is Sufficient
