Continues
from the previous post -
These quotes
suggest that the faithful should be controlling his/her conscious and
not lose control on it lest he commits a sin of indulging in hatred
and become equal to that evil doer. However, a faithful can react to
such bad behavior not by the feeling of hatred but as a measure of
punitive action on behalf of God to improve upon that evil person in
a constructive manner, that means without any rage and desire to
avenge he/she may treat him so that he improves in the name of God.
Jesus suggests a very controlled mannerism under such situations.
Jesus never encourages submissiveness in his followers in any of his
teachings. A very balanced mannerism he wants his people (followers)
to maintain while dealing with people in the society. Throughout many
stories, we see in different gospels Jesus has played miracles. It so
appears that these miracles were responsible for him getting the
trust of people. However, in modern times, we shall not get any
miracles to support him and so; we have to depend on the logical
sensibility of the teachings of Jesus as our guidance.
About what a
Christians might eat there, we have some quotes -
We find one
quote in Acts, Act 11:4-10, 'Peter Explains His
Actions'
Acts
11:5
“I was in the city
of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something
like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners,
and it came down to where I was.
Acts
11:6
I looked into it and
saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles and
birds.
Acts
11:7
Then I heard a voice
telling me, ‘Get up, Peter kill them without pain to them, and eat
them.’
Acts
11:9
“The voice spoke
from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God
has made clean.’
Acts
11:10
This happened three
times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
[This repeats
in, 'Peter's vision', Acts 10:9-16]
This vision
Peter received from God when he had decided not to eat meat as he
thought it is unclean to eat it. This shows that a follower of Jesus
is supposed to help nature in keeping the count, of these fast
growing creatures, in control by eating them. Human being is apart of
a food chain in nature as modern learning also accepts. He is a
predator of much bigger capacity than many other minor predators like
tiger, lion, wolf and many more. Nature or God, to use religious
term, wants to use these predators to help keep the number of these
fast breeding creatures who are mostly grazing animals. If their
number is not controlled, their number will disturb balance of nature
and so; to keep that count in control many predators are created by
god. Human is one most important of them. These predators eat these
fast growing grazing mammals however; the capacity of these minor
predators in controlling the number is limited. Therefore, human is
supposed to do it with efficiency. This message is given by this
vision that peter experienced.
