I'm not intending to promote any form of Christianity with this - I'm not a Christian myself. I was interested in this passage for it's piece of vegetarian history. In this approach to vegetarianism they were maintaining the principle to be found in the Aramaic text of the Evangelion Da- Mepharreshe, the oldest text of the Gospels known to exist. There, in the Gospel of Luke (21:34), Jesus says most forthrightly: " See that you do not make your minds heavy, by never eating meat or drinking wine.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Nicely organized information. It gives a different translation for Luke 21:34: " And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting [overindulgence in food or drink], and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. " - which is interesting to compare....
