It's that time of year again . . .

I rarely agree to disagree in matters that include the topic of the life of anything that contains blood.

I know you may not wish to, but I haven't yet seen you take a view that includes thoughts on the nature of God and His word and apply it to this topic. Of course, I may not have read this thoroughly, so please point it out if you did so already. If not, I'd like to see you take it on with that in mind please.

 

Padre, that is how they got their food...hunting. They had no supermarkets. When I have a craving for a double cheeseburger, I let someone else kill the cow, and I go and buy one. There was no such luxury then.

 

...and I can claim the "thrill of the hunt" is sin loving sentiment.

 

Nope.. not enough.. .scripture please!

 

BTW. . I am with PETA

Animals have NO rights... But we are slowly becoming a feminized country that feels sorry for Bambi.

If I want to shoot Bambi, and no law is broken.. there is no scripture telling me not to...

We do have laws against shooting dogs.. but not deer.



Scripture stating that hunting for sport is wrong please? If you don't have any, all you have is your opinion.. which is just as good as mine.


Hey Padre, you should become a WV Baptist the WV Baptist Convention even has a Bow Hunter's retreat on our convention's official grounds.. "Parchment Valley in Ripley WV"... I would like for some of these Bambi lovers tell our whole convention we are sinners!... I'll try to find a link to the Bow hunt, and post it.

 

YOu could, but you would have NO scripture to stand on...

Scripture please that condemns hunting?

 

Tim, there is no law telling me it's wrong to cheat on my wife, but it is.

Also the argument from silence is invalid ("there is no Scripture telling me not to...")

I don't feel sorry for Bambi, I hate sin which caused death. To take pleasure in killing something...anything just for the fun of killing something is immoral and stems from the flesh, not the Spirit.

 

OH, and what about coon hunting? Many good Christians here do that...

 

You really need Scripture to know it's wrong to take pleasure in death and killing for fun? Really?

Is it wrong for me to punish my son if he were to pull the legs off of insects and burn them with a magnifying glass?

 

What about it? Is it done for the "thrill of the hunt"?

Let me ask you (not singular, all hunters) this...will there be hunting in Heaven, why or why not?

 

When was the last time you heard of someone eating coon meat... of course it is done for fun. This is obviously something we are going to have to agree to disagree on.

Hunting is fun.. although I haven't done if for 15 yrs.. It is relaxing, it heightens the senses, it controls animal populations.. and since there is nothing against it in the Bible it can only be someone's opinion that it is wrong.

For those of you that don't like Hunting.. (killing animals with NO soul)...

How much do you pay to see Boxing on pay per view.. the beating up of people with a soul for sport...

And if I may, isn't any sport self gratifying? Why do we watch NFL.. or Play football.. Isn't it for self gratification... Do we pride ourselves when our cities win sporting competitions...

Isn't pride a sin...

YEP...

So don't sit behind your TV on a Sunday afternoon watching football while claiming that other sports are sins.... That is not very consistent...

BTW.. I hope the Bengals kick the Steeler's butts today! LOL

 

I rarely agree to disagree in matters that include the topic of the life of anything that contains blood.

Then you will just have to disagree away. Have fun!!!!

 

God was the first one to kill an animal. He did so because Adam and Eve had sinned and were naked, and the animal skin was for their covering. So, the first animal to be slaughtered was not for meat consumption, but for clothing. Interesting. God also mandated the sacrifice of animals in the OT. It was a necessary evil to point to Christ's atonement for us.

I completely agree that the death of a defenseless animal shouldn't be the result of a sinful, barbaric thrill, but if it's wrong to kill deer, then it should also be wrong to kill a rat that gets in your house, or a snake that takes up residence in your basement or attic. You can't value the life of one animal over another and judge hunters while letting fisherman "off the hook."

 

No need to confine your question to heaven as we will live on earth as much as heaven (Rev 21:1). It is unlikely that we will eat meat at all as it is likely to return to the days as they were before the fall. But whether heaven or earth that future has no impact on what we should do know with regards to hunting.

 

This is one reason I hated it when my boys to watched Bambi, and had to de-install the animal rights junk that is prevalent in Bambi... In that movie, the hunters are the bad people while poor ole Bambi's mother gets it...

"mama... mama.... ".. Boo hoo... it's just a deer... I was yelling.. "don't let the buck get away!"

 

I've noticed something about you, sir. You cannot seem to debate with others without displaying a judgemental attitude or resorting to personal attacks. If you will read my posts in this thread more carefully, perhaps you would see that I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH YOU FOR ONCE about something, that is, that killing should not be a thrill. Good grief. Get over your personal prejudice towards me, ok?
