What would Jesus eat?

Jesus ate meat--well, almost extremely certain He ate meat. The Last Supper was Passover and the meal contained Lamb, so......

anyway, I've heard of biblical based diets before. Ok I guess if they work for you, but I love my pork!

Interesting side note--humans were vegetarians until after the flood.

are you serious? I didn't know that. Can you give em some references on that, I am curious.

Ont eh humans were vegetarians part, I know Jesus ate meat.

Very--yes, here's scriptural quotations for you.

Gen. 1: 29: (Pre-flood) Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

Gen 9: (after the flood) 1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. "

Thanks I think I missed that. I will have to have a discussion on this with the Pastor.

Sweet! UMC rocks! That is what I am. I have an awesome Pastor that I love to talk to about stuff like this.

Where are you at?

Actually, In those days, meat was only consumed during celebrations. Meat was not a common food. I don't remember reading anything about what was on the menu at the Passover??? What passage is that in???

Lamb was and is the traditional dish served at Passover, which Jesus and the disciples were observing at the Last Supper. In fact, two of the disciples were instructed to go get the lamb and "prepare it for the meal." This is to remember the original Passover in Egypt, when the Hebrews were instructed to sacrifice a lamb, and smear the blood over their door posts so the "angel of the Lord" would "pass over" their house.

It is also why we refer to Jesus as "the Lamb of God"--He was and is and always will be, for Christians, the final and only perfect sacrifice for forgiveness of sins and salvation.

So, Jesus and the disciples sat down to eat the Passover Lamb but the disciples didn't understand that Jesus was the Perfect Lamb.

I would imagine it to closely resemble a medeterrainan diet which was the area the bible is in....

considering the lifespan of humans at that time, I'll choose NOT to eat what Jesus ate. No offense, but not everything was better in the good ole days.

I don't know. Wasn't Abraham supposedly like 100yrs. old when he had Isaac? or who ever it was?
Sorry. Haven't been to church or studied the bible in a looooooong time. :blushing:

Check out my previous answer with the biblical citations--basically, it seems God told them not to eat animals until then. In fact, one could argue that even animals ate "grass" until then.

Yeah. I just caught that. I scrolled up after I posted.

People lived to be a ripe old age back then. Methuselah (sp) was the oldest person recorded in the Bible. I don't remember how old he was but over 800 or 900 years old. I would look it up in my Bible but I'm at work right now and I don't want to get in trouble for looking at my Bible instead of working.

Should have added--Jesus' blood provided the sacrifice needed to cover us, just as the blood of the lambs in Egypt did back then.

It's all about the blood, right??

In Biblical times, there wasn't the processing and chemical treating and sugaring up of foods that goes on today. From that aspect, it should be healthier than the average American diet today!!!

Only if you consider what the "average American" eats. If you eat like the RDA recommends, that's not the case. I.E. fruits, vegetibles, whole grains, dairy (non-processed dairy that is), and lean meats then I would be confident in saying that we are better off. Considering the average life expectancy in the time around 0 AD was about 25 to 35 years old. Granted this included infant mortality, but still even if you take that out it was somewhere between 35 and 40. So I think we're doing a little better.
