Hello NL
I just stumbled on a post on FB where It was said that Christians are not supposed to eat meat today so I was kinda confused so decided to put up the question here. Are Christians not supposed to eat meat today? With reasons for your answers please.

Can you kindly provide any scriptural evidence that Christian should not eat meat on good Friday or men emotional control decision

Bible says let no man judge you in meat or in drink or in respect of a holy day

actually not in the Bible but according to the Catholic Doctrine,
It's believed Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross on a Friday, Christians from the very beginning have set aside that day to remember this and 'unite their sufferings'.

This led the Church to mark every Friday as a 'Good Friday', where people remember the Passion by offering the 'penance'.


Meat was seen as a worthy sacrifice as it was linked with feasts and celebrations.

In ancient cultures meat was seen as a delicacy and "the fattened calf" wasn't slaughtered unless there was something to celebrate.

Fridays were seen as a day of penance so eating meat on a Friday to "celebrate" the death of Jesus didn't sit well with the Catholic Church.

I am not a Catholic, but if they do this to remember the sufferings and sacrifices of the Lord Jesus, I think it is good. It will help us to check our ways and see if we are living for Christ or not

WHY MEAT

but other Old churches follow that too eg Methodist, etc

Why I said so because there is no scriptural basis for not eating meat on a good Friday. What is the use not eating meat on good Friday but you can eat other days?. So eat as much as you like if you can.

ok, I get ur point

...those who are true believers will honor God by observing the Christian rites and sacred days.
Just abstaining a day from eatin meat for CHRIST SAKE will not kill you. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST FOR A DAY LIKE THIS YOU DIED FOR MANKIND TO BE SAVED FROM ETERNAL DESTRUCTION. HALLELUJAH!
