Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

From a Biblical standpoint, Genesis would pretty much argue that hunting is just fine. However, since a lot of people don't take Genesis literally due to the numerous glaring inaccuracies, I'm not sure whether or not this could be used as justification for hunting.

Most inaccuracies seem to arise from trying to make it something it is not. For example, oral personal perspective History is not a Science textbook and neither "label" shows intent.

Grabbing from early Genesis...

Genesis 2:16-17 (King James Version)

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

At that time, it is reasonable they could live on that diet but....

,as of now(man's current condition), I can't say explicitly fruit and nuts is the optimal thing to eat in our current condition(just by the text) but our current understanding has a lot of benefits associated with eating them.


You will love this thought...

Genesis 2:15-19 (King James Version)

15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

What kind of animal would you personally keep and name?

Killing an animal isn't a sin. Animals are not humans.

life is an amazing thing. from an insect to an elephant.

life itself is truly remarkable. to me, all life is precious so i tend not to kill anything

except spiders. i fucking hate spiders.

When we are in the wilderness, we will have to hunt.

Remember, you will only be able to buy or sell if you have the mark of the beast, otherwise you're an outcast from society.

The One World Government (Beast System) is gearing up to enforce the mark already. It will be mandatory, and if you don't take it you will be imprisoned.

What about hunting animals to preserve the eco-system
Such as killing seals to lower their numbers so that they don't destroy the ecosystem
In this case, people are not killing for thrill nor killing for survival.

You don't intentionally sin knowing that you will be forgiving. (I am not saying that hunting is sinful. I haven't really studied it.)

No it is not a sin.
