Take Heart!
From Christian Vegetarian Association (CVA)

"Everything created by God is good": 1 Tim 4:1-4

(Excerpt of CVA’s responses to some frequent biblicallly based objections to our position)

This passage reflects Paul’s efforts to fight against a split in the Christian community and does not justify cruel treatment of animals. Here, Paul rebukes false doctrines that forbid marriage as well as certain foods. Christian vegetarians don’t forbid either marriage or meat. Rather, we encourage a plant-based diet as good, responsible, Christian stewardship. Modern animal agriculture is a human creation, and it harms humans, animals, and the earth. While we should thank God for our ability to enjoy food, we may also thank God for providing tasty vegetarian options.

Indeed, many Christian vegetarians see each meal as a prayerful reminder of God’s grace and goodness. Each vegetarian meal reminds them of Isaiah’s prophecy that all Creation will live harmoniously at the end of time, as in Eden.
