Adam and Eve, the first vegans on this planet, resided in the Garden of Eden, the world’s first vegan paradise. They were living testaments to Genesis 1:29, God’s first dietary law: “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.”
Isaiah 11:7, God’s last dietary law, states, “The wolf will live with the lamb, the cow will feed with the bear, the lion will eat straw like the ox, and a little child will lead them. And neither will harm nor destroy on My Holy Mountain.” The beginning and the end are vegan because veganism is the only way to live without bloodshed and cruelty.
Many other scriptures profess God’s love for animals. “God tests them [humans] so that they may see they are like the animals. Man’s fate is like that of the animals. The same fate awaits them both. As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place. All come from dust and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth.” Ecclesiastes 3:19-21
“In that day I will make a covenant for them. With the beasts of the field and the birds of the air, and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land so that all may lay down in safety. I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.” Hosea 2:18-19
“A righteous man cares for the needs of the animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.” Proverbs 12:10
“Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf filled with hate.” Proverbs 15:17
