The flood, and meat eating.

Hi all! I'm new here to the board.I grew up in a christian home. My father was a baptist minister with a masters degree in biblical studies. Everything in my life was about my faith, worship and creationism. But since childhood, many questions popped up in my mind that challenged what I had been taught.The animal kingdom and man were all herbivores before the flood, according to the belief of some Christians. This stems from the passage where God tells Noah that man can now eat the flesh of animals. This implies that before the flood, Man was not allowed to eat meat. Some Christians have taken this a step further, and have made the assumption that all living creatures did not eat flesh.This brings up the topic of flesh eating plants. Were Venus Flytraps vegetarians? I think not.Let me hear your thoughts on this.This message has been edited by SantaClaus, 07-07-2005 03:45 PMThis message has been edited by SantaClaus, 07-07-2005 03:47 PM

"you have to remember that when Moses wrote Exodus "writing" was a new form of communication"
-JimSDA

I don't remember the question of meat eating plants coming up before so I'll give you some points for originality. Your last statement though ... seems to imply that all Christians believe that there was a pre-meat eating time. You might want to drop that since many Christians do challenge that belief.You also metion 'First Question' which implies that you are going to ask a series of them, but there is no 2^nd. question.Edit the OP and add a space between questions and paragraphs and then post a reply to me here and we'lll take another look at the topic.
