Ok, a while ago I stumbled upon this video. [link]
I already commented at this but after just seeing it again a moment I saw I got a reply from someone saying that Jesus was a vegetarian and that I "like being decieved because of your LUST for (FLESH) FOOD MATH 5:22"
When I first watched it I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The video claims that not only was Jesus supposedly a vegetarian but he also died for the animals.
Jesus was not a vegetarian. Anyone who has read the Bible can clearly see that. Now yes, there was a time when all humans were vegetarians. That was before the Flood. After the Flood if you read Gen. 9:3 God says to Noah "Every creature that is alive shall be yours to eat..."
God did forbid eating some meat such as pigs but He never forbade eating meat in general. In fact eating pigs became allowed when Jesus said "It's not what goes into the mouth but what comes out that defiles a man." Matt. 15:11.
Scripture also records Jesus multiplying loaves of bread and fish to feed thousands. Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:34-44, Luke 9:12-17 and John 6:1-14 affirm this. If Jesus was really an advocate for vegetarianism he would have only multiplied the bread.
Scripture also says God instituted animal sacrifice. Much of this is prevelant in the Old Testament. In fact, if you read Genisis 22, God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Just as Abraham was about to do this God sends an angel to stop him and gives him a ram to sacrifice in place of his son.
As for the claim of Jesus dying for animals... Come on! What Bible were these guys reading? Jesus died for man's salvation. Not to stop the eating of animals. Seriously, read the Bible.
Now to address the comment directed to me;
First, Matt. 5:22 says nothing about lusting for flesh. This is what Matt 5:22 says;
"But I say to you, who ever is angry with his brother will be liable for judgement, and whoever says to his brother, 'Raqa' (meaning "idiot" or "Fool"), will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, "You fool", will be liable to fiery Gehenna." As for "lusting for flesh", that has nothing to do with eating meat. That phrase is actually condemning sexual immorality.
I'm going to share a Bible verse with you all."Welcome anyone who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions. One person believes that one may eat anything while the weak (in faith) person eats only vegetables. The one who eats must not despise the one who abstains, and the one who abstains kust not pass judgement on the one who eats; for God has welcomed him." Rom 14:1-3
There is nothing wrong with being a vegetarian. In fact, Catholics during Lent abstain from meat on Fridays. However, if your going to claim that Jesus was a vegetarian and died for animals, then you seriously need to reread your Bible and stop spreading mistruths about it.

Jesus dying for animals, is quite a misunderstanding.
Or a great insult, if the claim is made with full knowledge.
Considering I'm fairly certain that the entirety of animal life since Creation, is worth less than any human's eternal life (even Hitler's), in God's eyes.
