Does the Bible tell us whether or not Adam and Eve could eat meat?
In Genesis 1:30, were told that God created a perfect world! He instructed the beasts of the earth, the fowl of the air, and everything that creeps on the earth to eat every green herb for food. The animals originally were created to be vegetarian. Now, what about Adam and Eve? First, we need to know that the Bible teaches that there was no death or bloodshed until after Adam rebelled, disobeyed and sinned in the Garden of Eden. So man also was created to be vegetarian but was later told he could eat meat after the Global Flood (Genesis 9). It is from the book of Genesis that we can understand why the world is full of death and suffering today. Its because of the genetically, inherited sin nature from Adam. Originally, man and animals were all vegetarian. The fact that many creatures are not vegetarian today is actually a reminder of Adams rebellion and our rebellion against our Creator God. We need a Savior.
