Is it un-christian to hunt?

[Court2005]

I am a Christian and I love to hunt but other non hunters say it is wrong that I am killing an animal that God has created. I have looked online and have not found anything to better help me defend myself when it comes to this topic. I'm not sure if there is a thread on this already and if there is please direct me to it. I just want to gain more insight and knowledge so that I can back up my belief that hunting is not a bad thing.
If you are a christian how do you defend this?

Ummm....no it's not.



Genesis 27:3

English Standard Version (ESV)


Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me,

And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

Start in Genesis...wont take long to find your answer

God put man on earth to have dominion over all animals, including those we have slaughtered (cows) and those we hunt.....that's good enough for me.

[Atfulldraw]

no.

I don't feel the need to defend myself to someone without a clue.

Doesnt' that Gold Tip show start with a Genesis verse?

[DrenalinJunkie]

Nope.............



Genesis 27:3
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison

No it's not Un-Christian to hunt and harvest animals. My advice to you would be go to a local church in your area and ask to speak with the pastor of the church. Make an appointment so he can have time to pull scripture from the bible.

No. I don't think you need to defend yourself. Some people need to mind their own business.

I believe it was Peter that was told to "rise, kill, and eat"

[sneaky freak]

First time i've ever heard of such bs. I would laugh in someones ignorant face at this.

[Death from Above]

Nope. In no way shape or form.

Sounds like you have an awesome opportunity to share Jesus and hunting.

[Mayhem]

simple answer NO.
