jesus, in his earthly life, was a devout jew. he BROUGHT us, if you will, the new religion of Christianity thru his death and resurrection. in reality he interceded for us with God. we are weak. we fail repeatedly. we stumble and fail. but its not on our own merit, but grace that we claim the title.

you need to decide what side your on. you assume hunting and fishing involve torture or wiping out species, when there is no reason to make that leap.

and hunting is a sport. it requires skill and mental and physical prowess. try it.

with the loss of natural predators hunting is the only realistic way to keep animal populations in check. look at deer in the united states. if hunting didn't help keep their numbers down they would overpopulate and die from starvation, auto accidents and possibly even poisoning when they invade gardens and farms looking for that diminished food supply.
