Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. There is nothing that indicates equality between man and beast, not here nor anywhere else in the Scriptures. The idea of equality is insane. Even so, it is the prevalent teaching, and widely accepted opinion of the day. The new age people, the green peace folks, and the animal rights movement, would have us believe that these creatures have intellect, emotion, and will just like man. They would say that all living things have evolved within a delicately balanced environment. Then they threaten us with unfounded predictions of destruction. For that reason, man, beast, and environment are of equal importance. "Mother Earth" their goddess, must be protected, preserved, and revered, even at the expense of mankind, because all are dependent upon Her. Is "Earth Day" a universal day of reverence toward their god? Today's man does not see himself as superior to animals but rather that he is himself an animal. This includes his moral and ethical accountability. If an animal, then why not behave like one. -- C.A.R.P. Co-founder Eat more meat! http://www.geocities.com/ncenginear/carp.html |

Go to a dictionary and look up the world. It also the concept "not to cause any unnecessary pain on animals". It says to give the animals a day of rest. It says not to muzzle an animal working a field. It is a book of kindness to animals. If you're going to quote Torah, know something about it. |

It says not to cause unnecessary pain. It says not to muzzle animals working field. Further, even in killing animals, if the animal suffers unnecessary pain, it is no longer Kosher. The Shechet must kill in one slice with a sharp blade and not to cause pain. Clearly you don't know the meaning of dominion. I hope this free education is helpful to you. From http://ar.vegnews.org/dominion.html Doesn't the Bible say that humans have dominion over the animals? Yes, the Bible states this in the story of Genesis after God creates Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. Although I myself believe in the theory of evolution, there are some vegetarians and animal rights activists who do believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. These individuals would point out that according to the literal interpretation of Genesis, no animal ever died in the Garden of Eden. Therefore, in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve and all the animals were vegetarians. In this context, the phrase "dominion over the animals" could not have referred to killing and eating them. Many would argue that "dominion" is more accurately interpreted as "stewardship" rather than tyranny. Furthermore, since the Garden of Eden represents the highest ethical ideal, some people who believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible interpret this to mean that vegetarianism is the highest ethical ideal. A Jewish View Weren't people given dominion over animals? Didn't God put them here for our use? Dominion does not mean that we have the right to conquer and exploit animals. Immediately after God gave people dominion over animals (Genesis 1:26), He prohibited their use for food (Genesis 1:29). Dominion means guardianship or stewardship - being co-workers with God in taking care of and improving the world. (Shabbat 119; Sanhedrin 7) The Talmud interprets "dominion" as the privilege of using animals for labor only.(Sanhedrin 59b) It is extremely doubtful that the concept of dominion permits breeding animals and treating them as machines designed solely to meet our needs. Rav Kook stated that dominion does not imply the rule of a tyrannical ruler who cruelly governs in order to satisfy personal desires. He also indicated that he cannot believe that such a repulsive form of servitude could be forever sealed in the world of God whose "tender mercies are over all His work." (Psalm 145:9) Rabbi Hirsch stressed that people have not been given the right or the power to have everything subservient to them. In commenting on Genesis 1:26, he stated, "The earth and its creatures may have other relationships of which we are ignorant, in which they serve their own purpose." Hence, people, according to Judaism, do not have an unlimited right to use and abuse animals and other parts of nature. Commenting on Genesis 1:26, Rashi stated: "If a person is found worthy, he has dominion over the animals. If he is not found worthy, he becomes subservient before them, and the animals rule over him." > http://www.themodernreligion.com/an_main.htm A Muslim View: ll of the Koran's 114 chapters except one begins with the phrase "Allah is merciful and compassionate." A Muslim is expected to recognize the brotherhood of man and should treat a non-Muslim as a brother. Showing compassion and charity, Muslims believe, is doing service to God. Therefore, it is written in the Koran "No man is a true believer unless he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself. God will not be affectionate to that man who is not affectionate to God's creatures. Assist any person oppressed whether he is Muslim or non-Muslim." Mohammed repeatedly forbade cruelty to animals, saying in the Hadith popular tradition, "Whoever is kind to the creatures of God is kind to himself." Similarly, Mohammed taught "A good deed done to a beast is as good as doing good to a human being; while an act of cruelty to a beast is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being." The Koran (6:38) explains that such benevolence flows directly from God: "There is not an animal on Earth, nor a bird that flies on it's wings, but they are communities like you." The Koran does permit meat-eating, but its also encourages healthful foods (which, many Muslims conclude, does not include animal products). Given these traditions, many Shi'ite Muslims and the Islamic mystics, such as the Sufis, see vegetarianism as the Islamic ideal and choose this diet.

Here you go, ****.... Hallelujah Acres Research Casts Doubt On "Ideal Diet" By Greg Westbrook Former Health Minister If you are a newcomer to the Gen 1:29 Diet, this article may not make much sense right now. Newcomers to the diet often feel like a frisky colt in the early going. Some even overcome serious disease on the diet. But if you've been on the diet for several years like we were, this article may be a godsend. After only three years on the diet, we sadly admitted to ourselves that we were losing ground; going backwards in our health, not forward. If you've experienced new and troubling symptoms in your health on the Gen 1:29 Diet, take heart. You haven't failed the diet. The diet has probably failed you. The Gen 1:29 Biblical Health movement is built on one single verse in the Bible, and sets itself at odds with the entire spectrum of Biblical teaching on diet. Although there is no moral harm in personal experimentation with the vegan diet, there is everything wrong with teaching the vegan diet as "God's Ideal Diet" that leads to "ultimate health." In this paper, we will closely examine a research paper by Michael Donaldson, PhD and highlight the nutritional deficiencies he found in 141 Hallelujah vegetarian dieters. As we shall see, the diet is not "ideal" because it has several deficiencies. It is: a.. Too high in carbohydrates b.. Too low in protein c.. Low in energy (calories) d.. Completely missing two essential micronutrients and low in seven others e.. Requires eating voluminous amounts of vegetables (over a gallon per day) if properly done. In spite of all the rhetoric from vegan diet teachers, there has never been a civilization in the entire world that has been able to survive on the vegan diet. Every culture depends on some type of animal products to a degree, be it eggs, milk, cheese, or meat (even insects in third world countries). This includes the Hunza people who are often falsely represented as vegan even though they eat dairy and some meat. [1] This paper is a bit lengthy, but it is filled with priceless information. I hope you read it in its entirety and print it out to use as a reference document. I hope you prayerfully consider all that is written herein. Sounding the Alarm For almost a year now, we have been sounding the alarm: The Gen 1:29 Diet (a vegan diet) is a good short-term healing diet, but inadequate for long-term use. We have been collecting Health Surveys [2] from long-term dieters this past year that show a large percentage of people developing health problems on the Gen 1:29 Diet. Many find that short-term health gains often give way to long-term loss of vitality on the diet. Because of potential problems with the Gen 1:29 Diet, we have switched to a whole-Bible diet called the Plan B DietTM. [3] We call it Plan B because it is the second diet given to mankind in Gen 9:3 in the context of blessing Noah. Also, it is based on three B's: Basic foods, the full spectrum of Bible teaching, and is a Balanced diet including clean animal products. None of the junk food and junk meats in the Standard American Diet is included in the Plan B Diet T As I point out in my book: When Hallelujah Becomes "What Happened?" it is not wholesome meat, dairy and eggs that has been making people sick, but the junk foods, junk meats, junk dairy, and junk eggs in the Standard American Diet. God did NOT give us meat to make us sick and die an early death. When people clean up their diet, get the sugar and processed foods out, and eat only "clean", properly grown animal products, the results can be explosive! (Note: Click here for my book When Hallelujah Becomes "What Happened?") We are seeing the same short-term testimonies on the Plan B DietTM that we used to see on the vegan Hallelujah DietSM [4] ! However, we now have no fear that our students will hit the wall of deficiency down the road a year or two as they did on the Hallelujah DietSM. All that being said, why do people crash on the vegan diet after several years? A new (2001) research paper coming from Hallelujah Acres Foundation gives us some great new clues. Even though this study was not designed to uncover problems with the diet, surprisingly, deficiencies were identified. I wish I had read it in 2001 when it was first published, as it could have helped us figure out why we crashed on the diet. Michael Donaldson, PhD, Exposes Deficiencies In Hallelujah Vegetarians In his 10-page article entitled Food and Nutrient Intake of Hallelujah Vegetarians [5] , Michael Donaldson, PhD, explains the results of a study he did on 141 people on the Hallelujah DietSM (84 women and 54 men). Dr. Donaldson is the director of the Hallelujah Acres Foundation. You can read the full article at: http://www.hacres.com/nutrient_intake.pdf . After evaluating the 7-day food diaries of these Hallelujah vegetarians, Dr. Donaldson sounds an ominous note of alarm: "Some modifications of this dietary pattern to provide vitamins B12 and D, and higher intakes of iron, selenium, zinc and protein may be necessary for successful long-term health." [6] (emphasis added) In stark contrast to Dr. Donaldson's warning above, the following summary of his findings appears on Hallelujah Acres' website: Source: http://www.hacres.com/articles.asp?artid=114 "What this study reveals is that intakes of most vitamins and minerals are adequate while following The Hallelujah DietSM. "Only vitamins B12 and D were extremely low. Hallelujah Acres recommends a vitamin B12 supplement and sunshine, the natural source of vitamin D, to make up for these low intakes. Unfortunately, Hallelujah Acres makes no mention that calcium, iron, selenium, biotin, zinc, pantothenic acid, iron and protein were also found deficient in Dr. Donaldson's study. Rather than sweeping this valuable information under the carpet, it needs to be highlighted in bold neon lights. This is a classic case of calling the tank "half full" when it is actually "half empty." Of the 24 vitamins and minerals tracked by Dr. Donaldson, there were significant shortages in 9 of them: calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, biotin, zinc, pantothenic acid, niacin and iron. It was also low in protein, fats and energy. How would you like to have enough money to pay all but 9 of your bills out of 24 bills at the end of the month? You would soon be in debt over your head. Similarly, when our body fails to get 9 of the essential nutrients, it is only a matter of time until deficiencies mount up. Dr. Donaldson agrees that vitamins B12 and D are the "most critical" deficiencies [7] , but he voices serious concerns about other deficiencies as well: [8] "Protein intake was very low in this population." Page 297 "Further studies are planned to evaluate the long-term effects of this low protein diet." Page 300 "Further studies are needed to ensure that a positive calcium balance is achieved following this dietary pattern." Page 300 "Further studies are required to determine if zinc status is compromised following the diet surveyed here." Page 300 "Iron utilization could be impaired by sub-optimal vitamin B12 status." Page 300 "Vitamin D status of this population has not yet been investigated." Page 301 "On low energy diets, great care must be taken to ensure adequate nutrition; if energy intake is too low (<50% of DRI [Daily Recommended Intake], one is at risk of seriously compromising their health." Page 301 How serious are these deficiencies? I believe after reading this article, you will agree they are very serious! We will examine these deficiencies in detail below and show how our own Health Surveys surprisingly confirm these deficiencies. One more topic in this article involves the inability to stick to the diet (frequent cheating on the diet). Again, from the Hallelujah Acres web site comes this statement: "Many times a diet that is lower in calories will result in widespread deficiencies, causing hunger and inability to stick to the diet." Source: http://www.hacres.com/articles.asp?artid=114 Indeed, this appears to be exactly what is happening on the Hallelujah DietSM. If we did nothing but focus on the protein deficit, this alone is staggering. Dr. Donaldson found that protein intake of the 141 Hallelujah vegetarians (at .66 grams/day/kg body weight) was only slightly above the minimum physiological requirement for protein. [9] This should be considered a glaring red flag. How can a pregnant mother or growing child or athlete expect to thrive on a protein intake barely above minimum physiological requirement? Not surprisingly, Dr. Donaldson found that most of the Hallelujah vegetarians actually ate animal products during the week. A whopping 58% of the Hallelujah vegetarians (82 out of 141) ate animal products even though many of them were health ministers. While they probably felt guilt and failure over eating animal products, the lack of protein in the diet may have been a major factor in driving them to cheat. Let's take an in-depth look at the deficiencies on the Hallelujah DietSM. The Tank Is 27% Empty! Low caloric intake by definition means low energy. Dr. Donaldson found the diet on average only supplied 73% of RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) for energy. [10] This means the energy tank is 27% empty, just over ¼ tank low! At first glance, this doesn't seem too severe, but on second thought, how would you like to take a 27% cut in pay? Similarly, if you cut 27% out of your caloric intake, it will have a severe impact on your energy level. The Gen 1:29 Diet is often presented as a high-energy diet, but there is a triple whammy working against the typical Hallelujah vegetarian. First of all, the diet is inherently low in energy intake (calories) at 73% of RDI. Secondly, as we shall see, deficiencies of zinc, pantothenic acid, niacin, and iron are common on the diet. Each of these deficiencies can lead to fatigue in itself. Finally, with protein quite low at only 9% of calories, [11] there is too little protein to build muscle. (Note: Nutritionists commonly recommend a 15% protein diet) Perhaps this triple whammy is why we see a high percentage of people reporting poor energy and lack of strength on our own WOW Health Surveys: [12] a.. Don't feel like exercising or working: 63% b.. Lack of stamina, endurance and strength: 64% On top of the above triple whammy comes another blow: The dieter is told the diet isn't working because he isn't exercising enough. Unfortunately, exercise is not the silver bullet to correct a deficient diet, and it will only drive a person further down the deficiency curve, leading to worse problems. Vegetarian athletes are often cited as "proof" of high energy on the vegetarian diet. This is very misleading, because vegetarian athletes invariably eat dairy and eggs and/or large amounts of soy isolated protein powders (a highly processed food). Yes, they are lacto-ovo vegetarians eating milk and eggs, but they are absolutely NOT vegan athletes. To imply that a vegan can do athletic sports at a world class level is misleading at best and dishonest at worst. Lacto-ovo vegetarian athletes are highly competitive, but a vegan athlete is not, simply because of the low energy in his diet and inability to get enough protein. A popular vegetarian website warns that vegans will lose weight if they expend more than 1000 calories in sports activity (roughly the amount of energy to play a round of golf if you carry your clubs). Source: http://www.afpafitness.com/articles/Vegetarians.htm Protein Deficiency As already noted, protein intake was very low, barely above minimum physiological need for these 141 dieters. On average, men ate an average of only 47.2 grams per day (Table IV). [13] But the average dieter is not the one that loses his health; it's the dieters on the lower end of the scale. How much protein did those on the lower end of the scale eat? From Table IV, we can estimate that 9 men (16% of the men) consumed less than 33.8 grams per day (based on standard deviation) [14] . This is extremely low! At 55 years of age and 153 pounds, my protein need is approximately 55-73 grams per day [15] depending on physical activity level. If I were only getting 33.8 grams per day like some of the Hallelujah vegetarians, I would likely suffer serious long-term problems on the diet including muscle wasting and lost vitality. In fact, this is exactly what happened to me! Before my years on the Gen 1:29 Diet, I always had several building and repair projects going on around the house and farm, but after a few years on the Gen 1:29 Diet, they all came to a grinding halt for lack of energy. Eventually, I became so weak and feeble that I couldn't even operate some of our equipment, such as our trencher. Work around the house became limited to very light work: changing light bulbs, taking out the trash, sweeping out the garage, and picking oranges from the orchard. Muscle loss is a big concern on the Gen 1:29 Diet. A separate study by Dr. Donaldson: Fibromyalgia syndrome improved using a mostly raw vegetarian diet: An observational study seems to confirm muscle loss after just 7 months on the diet. In this study, subjects reported that hand strength was down significantly (by 23%) in the right hand, and down by 17% in the left hand. [16] With this much muscle loss after only seven months, one can only wonder how much muscle wasting would occur after several years on the diet. (Details are in note 16 at the end.) I have a friend who is very meticulous in recording his workout weights and repetitions. After a few months on the Gen 1:29 Diet, he realized that he was losing strength since he could no longer perform at his previous level. Now that he is no longer on the Gen 1:29 Diet, his strength is coming back in force, and his muscular build (noticeably absent in long-term Gen 1:29 dieters) is also returning. Since the data in Dr. Donaldson's study lumps 59 vegans in with the 82 non-vegans who ate animal products, we can only wonder how little protein the vegans were receiving. It is most disappointing that Dr. Donaldson did not separate the data for the 59 vegans who participated in the study, as this surely would have painted a more accurate (probably more grim) picture of the vegan diet. Signs of Protein Deficiency Early signs of protein deficiency include: [17] a.. Increased secretion from nose and mouth b.. Edema of hands and feet c.. Muscle cramps and/or menstrual cramps d.. Low tolerance for exercise e.. Bleeding gums Severe long-term protein deficiency with low carbohydrate intake can lead to a condition called Failure to Thrive. Symptoms include: [18] a.. Extreme hunger b.. Gross weight loss c.. Growth retardation (in infants) d.. Wasting of subcutaneous fat e.. Muscle wasting f.. Reduced insulin secretion g.. Reduced thyroid function h.. Recurring persistent infections On the other hand, if dietary protein is low, but carbohydrate intake is relatively high (much like the diet of the 141 subjects), symptoms are somewhat different: a.. Edema (water retention, swelling). Edema is much more common in women than men because of the effect of female hormones on the body's metabolism and circulation. Edema is deceptive because it gives the appearance of being "chubby", making a person appear fully nourished. [19] b.. Chubbiness from overeating on carbohydrates with low protein c.. "Flaky paint" dermatosis (skin flakes off like bad paint) [20] d.. Thinning, decoloration, and reddening of the hair e.. Enlarged fatty liver f.. Petulant apathy (bad-tempered, cantankerous, cranky) g.. Retarded growth (in infants) h.. Impaired immune response i.. Recurring persistent infections A number of the symptoms above are fairly common on the Gen 1:29 Diet. Fortunately, most people begin to cheat on the diet out of necessity as they slip into deficiency. Those who cheat by eating animal products will tend to pull out of the deficiency, whereas those who cheat with more fruit will only fall further into protein deficiency. Few Gen 1:29 dieters reach this point, but severe prolonged protein deficiency in a low-energy diet can lead to a serious medical problem called Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM). This condition is common in developing countries due to deficient diets, but can also be self-inflicted by adherence to deficient diets. Food Sources of Protein Animal products including beef, chicken, turkey, fish, eggs and milk are the primary source of protein although small amounts can be obtained from fruit and vegetables. Protein is relatively abundant in nuts, but nuts also contain large amounts of fat, making them a less desirable source of protein. For example, almonds are approximately 13% protein, but they are 74% fat. Walnuts are even higher in fat at 81% with only 8% protein. Grains and legumes, if properly combined, are the best source of protein for vegans, although they are not a significant part of the Hallelujah DietSM. Note: As we shall see later, the Hallelujah Diet is not precisely defined in some areas, yet followers are encouraged to do the diet 100%. Grains and legumes are somewhat ambiguous since they do not appear at all in the ideal diet column on page 65 of Recipes For Life [21] , but they do appear in the food pyramid on page 63 of Recipes For Life in tiny amounts. This, of course, leaves the dieter without clear direction. Vegetarians (not to be confused with vegans) commonly eat eggs and dairy to help get enough protein. Without eggs and dairy, vegans have no significant source of protein except for soy products. We do not eat soy products since they are highly processed, far from a basic whole food. Vitamin And Mineral Deficiency Several serious deficiencies were identified in the diet of the Hallelujah Vegetarians. Table 1 shows all the deficient nutrients along with the approximate daily need for each nutrient. High-risk individuals are highlighted in yellow, and Extreme-risk are highlighted in red. I strongly recommend you read this table thoroughly and understand the risks of the vegan diet. Calcium: Referring to Table 1, note that all 87 Hallelujah women were low in calcium intake. On average, daily calcium intake for the Hallelujah women was 577 mg; about half of normal daily need depending on age. However, some women received as little calcium as 421 mg per day, placing them at extreme risk. Calcium deficiencies can lead to brittle nails, cramps, delusions, depression, insomnia, irritability, osteoporosis, palpitations, periodontal disease, rickets (can lead to permanent bone deformities in children), and tooth decay. **Warning** Pregnant or lactating woman need 1200-1300 mg per day of calcium and should be highly cautioned to consider the risks in light of the scant calcium available on the Gen 1:29 Diet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vitamin B12 Looking again at Table 1, we see an extreme risk for women for vitamin B12, even more so if pregnant. The average intake of vitamin B12 was 0.51 mcg/day; however, this is due to the fact that over half of the Hallelujah vegetarians ate animal products. Those who ate no animal products and did not supplement received no vitamin B12 whatsoever, a nightmare scenario for repeat vegan pregnancies. Vitamin B12 deficiencies can lead to anemia, constipation, depression, dizziness, fatigue, intestinal disturbances, headaches, irritability, loss of vibration sensation, low stomach acid, mental disturbances, moodiness, mouth lesions, numbness and spinal cord degeneration. **Warning** Pregnant women need 2.6 mcg per day of calcium and should be highly cautioned to consider the risks in light of the scant B12 available on the Gen 1:29 Diet. Of all the essential vitamins, B12 is the most interesting one because it can only be obtained in appreciable amounts from animal products, not plant sources. Yet it is an essential vitamin! Without B12, we become host to a number of deficiency symptoms. The fact that this vitamin is missing altogether in the vegan Hallelujah DietSM is evidence that the diet is neither "ideal", nor viable for long-term health maintenance. Of course, the simple "fix" is to take a synthetic vitamin B12 supplement manufactured in a laboratory. Would God give us an "ideal" diet that depends upon the existence of laboratories to manufacture substances that are missing altogether in the diet? |

You wrote God hates Peta.
Then justified it by quoting Genesis, and said dominion. The association was made by you.

Even if man has been given absolute ownership over animals that does not mean that it is right for man to do whatever he wants to them, only that he is able to. Using that absolute ownership to hurt them seems pretty abusive. |

They aren't necessarily the same. It's like me assuming that you are an NRA member. (Which actually seems like a more reliable assumption to make.) I disagree with PeTA but I have been a vegetarian for many years. I guess I really don't understand the point of your posting then. You started out saying something like veganism is a sign of a general moral decline but you quickly abandon moral, philosophical, and biblical arguments in favor of just calling people "****" and asserting that you "hate" so and so. What kind of background are you coming from? It seems like your hateful rhetoric is kind of hypocritical for a person who would base their argument on a bible verse. It seems to me that the argument of a general moral decline would be better evidenced by pointing out those who flaunt how much they kill and who use scripture to back up their hatred. |

I don't care for Peta's actions. But who are you to say God hates Peta.
