Is It Wrong to Eat Meat?

Well, your answer to that question is going to depend on your starting point. If man is your authority, then truth is subjective and completely arbitrary. One person might say eating meat is wrong, while another says it’s completely fine. Who’s right? Without a standard—an ultimate authority—both are equally subjective.

His Word is the ultimate standard for morality.

But there is an ultimate standard: the Word of the God of the universe. He is the Creator, and he alone has the authority to say what is right and wrong. His Word is the ultimate standard for morality. And this is what his Word says regarding meat consumption:

God, who owns everything, has given us permission to eat meat, just as he originally gave us the plants to eat (Genesis 1:29).

How inconsistent! I responded to this deadly inconsistency (and the hypocrisy of the person speaking) in a recent video:
