Kill and Eat

How does killing and Eating relate to the redemption of the Church? Let's examine.

KILLING AND EATING: SALVATION IN CHRIST?

Lu 15:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

De 12:15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill <02076> and eat <0398> flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.

De 12:20 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

De 12:21 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill <02076> of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat <0398> in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

De 27:7 And thou shalt offer <02076> peace offerings, and shalt eat <0398> there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God.

2Ch 30:22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat <0398> throughout the feast seven days, offering <02076> peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.

Ac 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

Ac 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

Ac 10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Ac 10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,

Ac 10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

Ac 10:20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

Ac 10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

Ac 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Ac 10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

Ac 10:31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

Ac 10:32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

KILLING AND EATING: JUDGMENT OF FALSE PROPHETS WITH FALSE ASSURANCE OF SALVATION?

Eze 34:3 Ye eat <0398> the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill <02076> them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.

Eze 34:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

Eze 34:8 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

Re 9:5 And to them (locusts) it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

Ex 34:15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice <02076> unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat <0398> of his sacrifice;

Isa 22:12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

Isa 22:13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

Isa 22:14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

1Co 15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

Heb 9:27 And as <2596> it is appointed unto men once to die <599>, but after this the judgment:

Mt 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Ho 8:13 They sacrifice <02076> flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat <0398> it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

Mic 3:1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?

Mic 3:2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

Mic 3:3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

Re 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Re 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be associating killing and eating with sharing the gospel. In the context of judgment, it would point to the wicked partaking in strange flesh (false gospels). The Elect kill and eat as they feed on Christ and share the truth with others unto salvation.
