Will- Is there not a cause?

I am not an expert, but I don't believe God created the lion with a digestive system complex enough to break down hay.

 

Yes I have two dogs now. I have had 6 dogs through the years and about 5 cats, 5 fish and a bird. Cats will not LIVE if keep them from meat.

 

That's simply not true. There are tons of people that feed their cats and dogs "vegan" diets and the cats and dogs adjust to it and live healthy, happy lives.

 

This is the point of the new birth.

Isaiah 65:25 (King James Version)


25The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.


Amy...why is this is Scripture? Because in the OLD nature, this does not happen. The NEW Nature will allow it.

Lion - Diet and hunting

Female lions usually hunt at night or dawn and in packs. Their prey consists mainly of large mammals, such as antelopes, gazelles, warthogs, wildebeest, buffalos and zebras, but smaller animals like hares and birds are also taken occasionally. Carrion is readily taken and often recovered from other predators like hyenas and wild dogs. In some areas, lions specialise on rather atypical prey-species; this is the case at the Savuti river, where they constantly prey on young elephants, and at the Linyanti, where they hunt hippos.


An adult female lion needs about 5 kg (11 lbs) of meat per day, a male about 7 kg (15 lbs).

I'll check back later

 

What's your point with that article? It does not prove your point of "without meat a cat will die".

 

If a person can't take the time to make sure all their arguments are factual, then how can we believe any of their arguments?

Also, still waiting for you to answer my questions.

 

I would still like an answer to my question as well.

 

Getting back to the original post...

I think this particular original post is a really good one that productivly stimulates thinking about cause and effect with clarity and rigor.

We always need to challenge our paradigms on cause and effect to sharpen our thoughts and see God's Glory more clearly, or as clearly as God allows us to see through our dim glass here are earth.

Of course we have to balance our "thinking" with practially loving people, but there are times that God invites our spirit to see His loving Spirit more clearly, and we should be amazed!

 

You never answer my question in post #91

 

"The Lion That Wouldn’t Eat Meat," by David Catchpoole, Creation ex nihilo 22(2):22–23 March 2000.

 

So anything good a man does, that desire comes from God? Anything bad a man does, that desire comes from Adam?

yes or no will suffice.

 

Pretty clear that protein was a integral part of the diet, at least in the form of eggs. But, "by and large" lions are in fact designed to be carnivorous, the way in which they obtain their protein.
