How is it possible that God created a nature where animals can live only by killing other animals ?

If men kill each other, it is sin; they need not. But, animals cannot live without killing the other animals for food.How is it possible that God created a nature where animals can live only by killing other animals ?
It`s the cycle of life. Kill or be killed. They have to eat some-


where, nobody Is going to feed them. If I didn`t feed my dog she would go out and kill a squirrel or a rabbit or bird. Because she Is well fed she can exist In the same yard as the other animals.How is it possible that God created a nature where animals can live only by killing other animals ?

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽That is not what God created. That is the result of sin coming into the world. Sin caused an imbalance which required the roles of the animal kingdom to change -- some became scavengers and some were required for population control of other animals.





聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽Witness this:





Gen. 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.





聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽Thus, man was to eat only fruits, grains, and nuts. You see, originally, not even vegetables were to be part of man's diet -- and definitely not flesh foods (both were added to man's diet only after the Great Flood; Gen. 9:3,4). God created the animals to all be herbivores:





Gen. 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.





聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽Thus, animals were to eat only plants and vegetables.





God bless.
death is a natural process, it is not morally good or bad itself,


Animals kill for food and men can also kill animals to eat, that is not a sin


On the other hand either men kills animals or another men not being necessary it would be a crime / sin (and I'd remark there are few reasons to kill another human being moved by necessity)
Not only animals, but most organisms, plants included, live of of the death of others. Then of the rest, many of them are parasites, only a very few can live without any other organism to feed off of in some way.
Wow...you still sport the MULLET! Join us here in 2008! We will welcome you!





Animals did not, in the beginning, kill each other...this was something that was introduced later, after Noah's flood and after Jehovah gave man permission to eat animals.
Because the whole Creation is in a fallen state, a lower state than what Creator intended. There is a healing that must take place; Creator has a plan in store for the restoration of the creation. That's when the Lion will lie down with the Lamb.
humans don't need to kill each other because we don't eat each other. we are pretty high on the food chain. if we lived amongst lions, you bet we'd be eaten! we ARE animals...we kill other animals...





by the way...this is called evolution
He didn't. There were no carnivores or death until after sin. All animals, including dinosaurs were herbivores to begin with.
Not all animals, only carnivores.


Omnivores really should eat both, but don't have to.


I don't believe in sin though.
Read the Old Testament. It is full of killing, war, rape, plunder and more. That's the nature of god.
The world was perfect, or good, before Adam sinned.





This sin enabled misery, pain, and death.





God bless!
Wake up dude.... Don't you eat meat!!!!





Really - animals hunt/kill for food and that's it. They wage wars, or kill their own kind over religion. Their morals are superior those of the Christian.
It's just another God anomaly!
Simple. Life is a death sentence.
that's life for them. they have to eat in order to survive.
Flesh only died after we sinned
Men killing animals is not sin either.





If you look at the animal kingdom it is a near perfect system. Death itself is the perfect part of it. All things die. If all things did not die the world would become overpopulated. In the animal world it is typically, though not always, the old and weak that are killed as food. Hardly anything in the animal world dies of old age. Death from old age is arguably the worst way to die.





Man is the only animal made ';in the image of God';, and man has the obligation to refrain from acting like an animal. I believe that when mankind was brought out of the animal world and placed under the obligation to act ';human';, man did not, and fell back into the state of being a ';beast';.

That has got to be the lamest and most hilarious mix of an evolution and christianity attempt at reasoning yet!!! LOL LOL





By the way, Plants are living creatures and scientific studies show they respond to pain too.





What a god!!!!
Because ';nature'; has a different function for God than what you have decided as what is reasonable in your own eyes.


God has different plans than what you would have had if you wanted to be god.





Romans 11:33


[ Doxology ] Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.








God gives all His animals a fighting chance even if it is just the ability to run the fastest!
yeah, but it's not all animals. many animals forage for food and don't hunt. it's only... PREDATORS. i believe there's a human analogy here somewhere...
If you believe in God then you have to remember that God is hard on us, god is not a fluffy bunny, God is both death and life made into one, lets just hope the plans involve good thoughts
animals tend not to kill their own kind, their own kind hold their genes too, but it happens under certain conditions.
it isn't possible, there is no god therefore there is no gods creation.
god created animals for survival of more intelligent animals... our bodies require protein to keep us healthy..............
Humans are also designed to kill or die. Nice plan, god.
evolution...APRIL
Because he was high at the time.





Just like your haridresser.
The stronger kills the weaker, for ANY purpose
';The Food Chain'; seems a Cruel method of 'Living'...!!
