Bible VegetariansBible vegetarians ate the animal free food diet that God first provided in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve and their descendants that lived before the flood were vegetarians. Before the flood mankind lived to over nine hundred years. Genesis 5 states: Adam lived for nine hundred and thirty years (930) –v5 His son Seth lived for nine hundred and 12 (912) - v8 Seth’s son Enos lived nine hundred and five (905) - v11 Enos’ son Cainan lived nine hundred and 10 (910) - v14 Cainan’s son Mahalaleel lived eight hundred ninety-five (895) - v16 Mahalaleel’s son Jared lived nine hundred sixty-two (962) - v20 Jared’s son Enoch walked with God and God took him to heaven Enoch’s son Methuselah lived nine hundred sixty-nine (969) - v27 Methuselah’s son Lamech lived seven hundred seventy-seven (777) –v31 Lamech’s son Noah lived nine hundred and fifty years (950) – Gen 9:29 Not only did these bible vegetarians live long, they were also tall. It is thought that Adam and Eve’s heights were about fourteen and sixteen feet. Genesis 6:4 states there were giants in the land in those days. So what happened to the Bible vegetarians that changed their life span and height? According to Genesis 6:1-7, when humans began to multiply on the earth God saw that they were very wicked and evil continually. God was sorry that he had made humans, and destroyed them from off the face of the earth, (Noah found grace) and their life span after the flood would be one hundred and twenty (120) years.
After the flood God instructed mankind to add flesh to their diet. Genesis 9:2-4 Since then mankind’s life span has steadily decreased until we became more health conscious and started eating healthier Genesis 11:10 – 32 and 25:7: Shem lived 100 + 500 = 600 years Shem’s son Arphaxad lived 35+403 = 438 year Arphaxad’s son Salah lived 30+403 = 433 years Salah’s son Eber lived 34+430 = 464 years Eber’s son Peleg lived 30+209 = 239 years Pelg’s son Reu lived 32+207 = 239 years Reu’s son Serug lived 32+200 = 232 years Serug’s son Nahor lived 29+119 = 148 years Nahor’s son Terah lived = 205 years Terah’s son Abram (Abraham) lived = 175 years Abraham’s son Isaac = 180 years Gen. 35:28 Isaac’s son Jacob (Israel) = 147 years Gen. 47:28 Jacob’s son Joseph = 110 years Gen. 50:26 As you can see the life span of man steadily declined after the flood. We are what we eat.
