Isn't that what makes our souls different from that of a bug? [/quote] Yes. That, and we humans, unlike animals, are created in the image and likeness of God.

BeenaBobba Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 [quote name='Iacobus' date='Jun 12 2004, 11:42 PM'] But NATIVE *note NATIVE not introduced* bugs and animals serve a vital part of the ecosystem and killing them hurts the ecosystem and thus destorys the work of God. So in short is it a sin to kill bugs per se. Nope. Is it is sin to destory the work of God. Yep. [/quote] I think that'd depend, Jacob. Killing animals isn't always sinful. Hunting isn't sinful. When people prune a herd of deer, they're doing a good thing. But killing animals that are bordering on extinction seems pretty sinful to me. Animal cruelty is always wrong. It usually serves as a precursor to human cruelty in those who willingly abuse animals. Plus, it seems wrong to abuse God's creation and to hurt innocent creatures for no good reason at all.

God bless, Jen [/quote] Yeh but that kinda falls into my point. If we didn't kill all the fox and wolf packs would we have to kill deer to control the population. We shouldn't have killed the predators. But at least we are mostly trying to fix that and pruning is okay until you fix it. But in my mind, though pruning isn't sinful, natural predation is always better. Systems made by God tend to work better than systems made by man to repair damage done to God's systems. And to me crulety and killing threatened aninamls is always bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
