Hi FredVB, great to hear from you again
Here's the train of thought, as best as I can reconstruct it
In addition, we have this passage. Abraham believes that meat is a good thing to serve to your honored guests
Here's the train of thought, as best as I can reconstruct it
To be clear, all the permission to have meat from animals that there was ever from God is Noachian, that from the time of Noah, that is the only permission for anyone to have meat from animals
It looks to me like in some places the law of Moses goes beyond permission into imperative.
There were commandments for eating meat because there were the sacrifices and meat was still being eaten
There were commandments for eating meat, and I think that was my point.
So the thing I was getting at, I believe, was that there were Commandments to eat meat and they aren't all from the time of Noah.The commandment, focused on sacrifice for blood related to atonement, in which there was meat then, to be eaten or to be thrown out, was for Israel, and it is a memorial now. There is no general commandment to eat meat, it would not be within the design from God, which was shown.
In addition, we have this passage. Abraham believes that meat is a good thing to serve to your honored guests
Bible Gateway passage: Genesis 18:7 - New King James Version
And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it.
