Hi. I'd like to share this topic from a different perspective. I have been a christian for a number of years and came to know the Lord whilst an avid and passionate animal rights activist. I was guilty of loving animals more than God. Although…

Robert Byers replied to Victoria Mabry's discussion 'Is Keeping Pets Christian?'

i've thought about this over the years. I don't agree that any animals we now have looked like they did before the fall. The animal before the fall must of been for special reasons and couldn't just be the dumb brutes we see…

Someone said that if TV or Sports or anything (including Pets) takes us away from contemplation of God it is sin and idolatry. I have two cats. These two cats have often caused me to be in awe of God. This is along the lines of Paul's comments…

David: Thank you for the contribution. For other readers, the reference David mentioned, James 3:7, reads: "For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind." …

This is an excellent topic to research. As a farmer, I have paid attention to this sort of thing when I saw it in Scripture, and would like to add to the good words already posted here. Throughout Scripture we see folks with…

Floyd: This is excellent research and information. We can learn much from the Bible about animals, but we also need to remember to be careful to not presume or to add to what the Bible has to say. There are many things about which…

Floyd replied to Victoria Mabry's discussion 'Is Keeping Pets Christian?'

The bible does say quite a number of things concerning animals. For example: God breathed life in both man and animals.

Victoria Mabry replied to Victoria Mabry's discussion 'Is Keeping Pets Christian?'

Thanks, Jeff. I agree totally. It's like watching TV, or playing sports, or going hunting....whatever. If it keeps you from time focused on God, it's idolatry and it's wrong.

I think creation was meant for us to enjoy. I think anything that keeps you from having a meaningful relationship with our Creator would be bad. We raise and breed boxers and although they are an integral part of our life they don't come…

Is Keeping Pets Christian?

I am doing some research for a paper regarding God's design for animals. I'd love some input regarding 1) What was God's purpose for animals before the Fall and 2) What is His thinking now, regarding keeping pets?This conversation was prompted by a discussion with someone who believes that people today have an unhealthy affection for animals. I'm not talking perversion and I'm not talking the extreme vegan lifestyle; just more "love" for animals than God intended.If my affection for my pets is…See More

So glad you discovered this book, Kim. I'm a huge fan of it and have actually gotten approval from Dr. Werner to use any of his materials in my breakout sessions at Snowbird next summer. I saw the DVD of the book on TV and taped…
