Vegetarians

[Geezy]

Came across this while studying this morning and couldn’t help but chuckle out loud during my quiet time. 
 

“Now God gives to man a new provision for food. Before the Flood God gave to man the green earth, the plant life, to eat. Now He tells Noah that he is able to eat animal life. There are diet faddists, and often this type of thing becomes a part of a person's religion. I once met a lady who was a vegetarian as a part of her religion, and she was quite excited when I told her that these antediluvians were all vegetarians. She thought this reinforced her argument that we should all be vegetarians, and she had her assistant take it down in her notes. However, I think she must have erased it later because I told her this: "I wouldn't make too much of it if I were you because you must remember that it was a bunch of vegetarians who were destroyed in the Flood. If diet had in any way improved them at that time, they would not have been destroyed." We see here that God now permits man to eat flesh.”

I love Dr McGee. His voice is still on the radio here. My favorite quote from him is, "you can't sow wild oats in your youth and expect to reep a rose garden in your marriage"

too bad I heard that 15 yrs too late.
