The New Testament teaches that Christians' food choices should express love towards others and honour God (Romans 14; 1 Corinthians 10:31). The original biblical ideal is that humanity should be vegan and one day all violence and death will be eliminated from creation (Isaiah 11:6-9; Romans 8:19-21).

I feel more spiritually closer to our creator when I fast & eat clean instead of being clouded by the chemicals forced upon the animals as well as consuming the animals emotions & trauma of sadness… fear … anger…

Thank you for this review, I did not get to watch the film so this was very insightful. I have always felt it was sad to celebrate love and rebirth with the slaughter of lambs and other animals. Really enjoyed watching this.

it's simply less cruelty, less violence, less cruelty to not consume animals - it is more love, more kindness, closer to god

Great presentation Brother 🙏🏾 the original Hebrew was actually Fish Weed (a seaweed) Jesus was raised an Essene, whom are Vegans 🌱

As a vegan and Serbian Orthodox I have no other choice but to subscribe to your channel brother! sorry I didn't do this before.

I like the new direction of your videos!

As a Christian, who is vegan, when I first saw the advertisements about Christspiracy, I was hesitant to show support for it before I watched it or knew more, because I was afraid that it would be heretical, but after listening to a debate between the creator of the film and another Christian who eats and hunts meat, I was more intrigued, as some very interesting points were brought up, including a few that you have mentioned here. I still haven’t seen the film, but would like to soon, and study more.

as A vegan who is a Christian first I want to see this.

Thank you for making this video 🙏🏻🙏🏻 it’s making me question things

Excellent video here; glad this popped up in my feed 👊😁

Very neat video! Nice to see you back here with fresh energy

It's not so much a question of "if" Jesus was vegan, but could he be vegan. Since His human nature was unaffected by original sin, His body would have had no need of animal products. As for Passover and the Last Supper, I thought a Catholic mystic/visionary said Jesus refrained from the Passover lamb because He WAS the Sacrificial Lamb. I can't recall the source however.

I've been vegan since 2012 as well and recently more interested in Orthodox theology. Glad to learn more. What is the stuff you're hinting at with Hagia Sophia?

Great video! Happy Easter.

Welcome back,Amazing video and information,I send my love from ATHENS GREECE. Can’t wait for mor of your videos.

Very interesting analysis. I think deep down you tend towards the scenario that he was/is indeed vegan. I recommend you to read the book "why every christian should be a vegan".

Prayer and fasting was speaking of unbelief

Very interesting video. I’m not Christian but I study different religions and I love hearing your point of view

He grilled fish for the apostles after his resurrection.

Yes "robbers"/"thieves" is a misleading translation of the Greek word lestes; Strong's Greek 3027: "...an unscrupulous marauder (malefactor), *exploiting the vulnerable without hesitating to use violence*." The violence of course being toward the vulnerable animals at the slaughterhouse-temple.

Me and my now deceased father would argue over eating meat and not eating meat. Then one day, God turned round to us both and spoke through my father who was his messenger. God informed us that it is acceptable to Him for a person to be a vegan or a meat eater. But what is not acceptable is arguing over it and forcing each other to accept the other person's stance. So, if you want to be a meat eater in Jesus, then be so with peace of mind. If you want to be a vegetarian in Jesus, then be so with peace of mind. If you want to be a vegan in Jesus, then be so with peace of mind. Respect each person's choice when it comes to food consumption. Romans 14:3 International Children’s Bible 3 The one who knows that he can eat any kind of food must not feel that he is better than the one who eats only vegetables. And the person who eats only vegetables must not think that the one who eats all foods is wrong. God has accepted him.

I am so happy to see you back! I am Christian first too, then vegan. Thank you for this video, lots of interesting points! I believe Jesus was either plant based or ate very little meat/fish. I don’t think he was vegan, as they did sacrifice animals for different reasons. I think it is our choice whether to eat animals or not without condemnation from God because He gave us authority or dominion over them.

Finally saw the movie and it exposes the truth about religion, life, and the world. Go whole food plant based vegan diet. Cut out all the crap! We thrive! You might want to rethink your commitment to christ. Commitment to life and justice is what Jesus did. No killing.

Ask AI Yes, the Bible can be interpreted as promoting a vegan lifestyle. Old Testament: In the creation account in Genesis 1:29-30, God initially provides a plant-based diet for both humans and animals. This suggests that veganism was part of God’s original plan for all living beings. New Testament: Jesus’ teachings in the New Testament, particularly in Mark 7:18-19, indicate a shift away from Old Testament dietary laws. He declared all foods clean, emphasizing freedom from strict dietary restrictions.

does the documentary address eggs and milk too, or just meat? I've watched podcast where the guy said that Jesus indeed was against slaughtering of animals but that he was a proponent of eating eggs and raw milk

Did you say “as the people on the left”?

Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing

4:32 your timeline is missing an important data point. While it isn't explicitly stated that Adam and Eve and their children EAT animals, Abel, their son whom God favored, did keep flocks and offer animals as burnt offerings to God (Gen 4:4). It can be reasonably assumed that these animals were a food source as giving them to God was considered a sacrifice that pleased Him. 4:43 You claim that people start raising animals for food here, but God specifically tells Noah to take extra food animals on the ark (Gen 7:2) implying that he expected Noah to eat them. 8:20 I think you may be forgetting the purpose of those animals being sold at the temple. People would buy those animals specifically to offer them as burnt sacrifices to God. Jesus getting mad at them for being "violent in the temple" would be kind of silly considering those animals were going to be killed at God's specific request (Leviticus 16). Considering the rest of his ministry, it's more likely to me that he was angry about turning the sacred act of offering sacrifices for the atonement of sin into an opportunity for profit. 9:43 This is a dramatization of the events added by the (excellent) web series "The Chosen". It's not actually ever stated in the Bible that Simon had outstanding debt. 10:10 True, but not necessarily because Jesus was against killing fish (after all, he just killed a ton of fish in this very chapter). Jesus wanted Simon to give up his old life and follow him and Simon obviously couldn't keep doing his old job. Jesus would have said the same thing if Simon was a farmer. If killing fish was a sin, then Jesus wouldn't have done it. 11:48 Bread was commonly used as a synonym for "food" back then. It's common in many languages to refer to the most popular food when talking about food or meals in general. In old English, they would refer to meat when talking about any food. In Japanese, they say the word for rice. Jesus does use the literal word for bread, but he was likely talking about food in general. I don't think there's a very strong case for Jesus being vegan. God explicitly approves of eating meat. In Leviticus 11, he gives clear guidelines outlining which animals are fit to eat. In Acts 10:10-16, God commands Peter to eat all kinds of animals. While this is almost certainly a metaphor for fraternizing with gentiles and not a literal demand, it is still important to note that God chose eating animals as a formerly unclean act made clean.

Wow ❤ For Orthodoxy ☦️🛐👀❤️👍 Priest the lord.👌🤍🤍 Best information 👍 God bless you.

How come you don’t question belief in Jesus. Don’t make olive oil eat the olive. Question everything A few men wrote the Bible.

Read the book

MEMO: Unleavened Bread [as in no yeast, animal milk &/or eggs] & wine are definitely vegan.

Amazing🎉

Congrats on becoming an RD! I am an RD2B and a vegan myself. I am amazed that any people were vegan before B-12 was synthesized from bacteria which only happened in 1973. I can see how vegetarian diets developed in earlier times but not a vegan diet very successfully given B-12 is essential and the world did not know how to get it back then without eating animals. Now that science can synthesize B-12 veganism is a great option but even in 1944 when the Vegan Society was first formed a vegan diet seems risky as they were not getting B-12 from their diet or taking a supplement. Given this reality, I doubt early people were vegan. It is a modern possibility, and I am glad we can evolve to a vegan diet today, but do not expect earlier times to have followed it. I do like your humbleness about not shaming others about food.

Just curious, do you speak Greek fluently?

Gospel of the holy 12 also known as the gospel of the Nazarene first century vegan gospel it has not been lost. Only vegans know about it only ones that care about it.. I was Greek Orthodox up until about three months ago now I just follow Yeashua. killing a goat is pagan the Bible warned us about the Greeks and the Egyptians..Constantine added Mithraism fourth century Paul changed the dietary laws and he never met him confirmed in the Clementine homily all first century. Godbless Genesis 1:29 page 1

🙏

How can we be humble towards each other when were are not humble to other being how are sentient like us, and have same emotions we have. Today saluter houses absolutely diabolical. The way animals are kept in cages and the cruelty behind it. The people who suffer working in this places and all of the evil that comes out of it within cause and effect. It is something christians should never be a part of.

Orthodox Christian here. I am a Carnivore all year except for a couple weeks during Great Lent. I water fast a lot - you want to talk about a lifestyle that is truly healthy... Please study the old testament in more depth. Even many new testament saints were carnivore - St. Theophan the Recluse, etc... These people did not choose a vegan diet because they were on some kind of a health kick. Fasting is a sacrifice of good physical things for the sake of acquiring spiritual things. Fasting quiets our minds because it is not an optimal condition for humans, from a dietary perspective. Christ is Risen!

If vegan is the way to go then why do vegans eventually have so many health problems??

I believe Jesus was at-least vegetarian * Just based on extending imagination & food history of those places. It might be tough to be vegan in those days & vegetarian was practiced in parts of world like India * There is some book as 'Gospel of Holy 12' or some documentary like lost years of jesus, which presumably discovered more than 100yr old back. Written in aramic language of Jesus time, which says about vegetarian teachings * There are pictures of Jesus in our times, that shows Jesus with lamb & lamb seems to be comfortable as if they are not going to hurt. Moreover, someone who taught about mercy & compassion, wouldn't make mercy exclusively on human & slaughter animals * Lastly, there might be things lost in translation, might be covered up to present different meaning. Since the empires i assume wouldn't be straight enough & remain corrupted for long period of history. 'Doctrine of Discovery' is an example of it, after 1400 years, things has been done in his name, which he won't like for sure. There would be more fact, someone with deep interest & research oriented mind can add more

this is a movie made by vegans purely for vegans and takes advantage of the ignorant who don't read the Bible, and those include the "church leaders" who didn't know what they were talking about. The Old Testament is quite explicit in God telling Noah in Gen 9:3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. And nowhere in the Old Testament nor New Testament were there ANY instructions against eating meat (other than the clear ban of eating UNclean meat and the obvious warning of eating in EXCESS). oh, and that red thing that God COMMANDED the Jews splatter on their door posts during the Passover? that was blood. of a sheep (or goat). which God COMMANDED be sacrificed THEN EATEN. and here's another inconvenient fact. the God of the Old Testament is none other than Jesus Christ Himself. (John 1:1-14)

GO BACK TO THE VERY BEGINNING CAINE offered wheat to God and God was Displeased... ABLE offered one of his lambs 🐑 and God was pleased.... HONOUR OUR ANIMALS LOVE THEM AND TREAT THEM REALLY WELL when we eat them we eat EVERY PART and use skin for clothes and bags and we HONOUR ANIMALS by doing this.

He was Greek and Yes most Greeks wer vegan

He wasn't vegan. as a Jew he ate lamb and fish.

No .. This is scripture taken out of context
