FIVE COMPELLING REASONS WHY CHRISTIANS SHOULD
CONSIDER A VEGETARIAN DIET
To demonstrate our love for God
"God intends….our care of creation to reflect our love for the creator" John Stott
To help the poor and starving.
"It's officially estimated that should Westerners reduce their meat consumption by as little
as 10% that would free enough land, water and energy to adequately feed at least forty
million starving people."Anthony Neesham.
To stop the destruction of the environment.
"The time has come … for destroying those who destroy the earth "(Revelations 11v18).
To stop the cruelty and violence of the meat industry.
"We Christians talk a lot about holy living; sometimes about "baptized in the spirit".
However, our spiritual depth is mirrored for all to see. It's in the way we treat God's
helpless" Rev.James Thompson
To prevent further damage to your health, the temple of the Holy Spirit.
A vegetarian diet tends to correspond closely with current dietary advice for healthful
eating. Vegetarians are, on average, healthier than those who consume the typical Western
diet andenjoy a lower incidence of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and diet related cancer.
