Bless the Lord, O my soul! O God, how tender is Your light, robed in the brilliance of morning, You stretch the heavens like silken cloth.   You walk on the breath of the wind, and sing through the wings of doves. You set the earth on its sure foundation, and plant peace in every meadow.   The springs gush forth in hidden places, quenching the thirst of all who wander. Birds nest safely among the branches, and sing psalms where no temple walls rise.   You water the hills wit

Jesus teaches us to pray in this way: “Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6:10). What matters most, therefore, is God’s will, not our own. Our prayer becomes effective only when it is aligned with God’s will. If you pray for immense power so that you may exploit other fellow humans and animals and trample on their heads, such a prayer will not be fulfilled. For a prayer to be effective, it must be compassionate and directed toward the good of sentient being

Every year on International Women’s Day (8 March), people around the world honour the dignity, suffering, and resilience of women. From a biblical perspective, this day also invites reflection on how societies treat the vulnerable—especially mothers. The modern dairy industry depends entirely on the reproductive exploitation of females. Like all mammals, cows must be pregnant in order to produce milk. To maintain constant milk production, dairy cows are typically subjected to

Today (4 March) the Church commemorates Gerasimus of the Jordan (c. 400/410–475). Born in Lycia in southern Asia Minor into a wealthy family, Gerasimos renounced family ties, riches, and worldly concerns, and embraced the monastic life in the desert of the Thebaid in Egypt. Later, around the year 450, he came to the banks of the Jordan River in Palestine, where he founded a vegan lavra and became its abbot. The discipline of the community was very strict. The advanced anchori

Life is a dream. “Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.” (Psalm 90:5–6 KJV)    “As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.” (Psalm 73:20 KJV)   All conditioned phenomena Are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow Like dew or a flash of lightning Should be observed as thus. (Diamond Sutra)   “The world is like a dream. It appears in consciousness

There are still 2.4 billion Christians in the world, most of whom are not vegan because they believe that Christianity does not mandate veganism. Meanwhile, 3 trillion innocent creatures of God are murdered by humans every year. The objectives of our free ongoing online course, Vegan Theology , and of our Facebook group of the same name are: 1.     To show that Christianity is inherently a vegan faith. 2.     To demonstrate that Jesus is the Vegan Christ. 3.     To address an

“I desire compassion, not sacrifice,” (Matt 9:13, 12:7; cf. Hosea 6:6), famously declared Jesus the Vegan Christ. Should He return among us in human form, He would not be distant, ceremonial, or politically neutral. He would be everywhere that suffering cries out for mercy. He would enter factory farms, gas chambers, transport trucks, laboratories, and slaughterhouses — rescuing chickens, piglets, lambs, calves, and every creature condemned by human convenience. He would stan

The Feb. 28 strike that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on occurred on the eve of Purim — the festival commemorating the downfall of Haman, thanks to Queen Esther’s intervention through her beauty, her wisdom, and her superb vegan culinary skills. Whether this timing is coincidence or carries deeper symbolic meaning is something people of faith may reflect upon. 1. Ali Khamenei and Haman Numerous human-rights organisations, such as the Human Rights Activists News Ag

Anti-vegan bible passages—such as those in which God commands people to engage in bizarre rituals involving the offering of aromatic burnt animal flesh and fat (e.g., Exod 29:18–41; Lev 3:16; Numbers 15:2–10), or those depicting Jesus distributing and eating fish (e.g., Matt 14:13-21; Luke 24:42–43; John 21:9–13)—are probably interpolations, as argued by Prof. James Tabor (2012) and Keith Akers (2000), among others. Many anti-vegan Christians will, however, retort that every

Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.   (Proverbs 11:21 NIV) On 20 January 2023 at noon — just two days before the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit — a tragic incident occurred at the Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse in the New Territories of Hong Kong. A 61-year-old butcher surnamed Choi, who was in charge of the facility, was preparing to slaughter a large pig. After stunning the terrified animal with a captive bolt, he raised a

The clearest contemporary evidence for the earliest persecution of Christians comes from the Roman governor Pliny the Younger, who wrote to Emperor Trajan around AD 112 ( Letters of Younger Pliny , Book X, 96–97 https://ia802807.us.archive.org/34/items/lettersofyounger00plinuoft/lettersofyounger00plinuoft.pdf ). His report describes a systematic procedure: suspected Christians were interrogated, ordered to worship the Roman gods, offer incense and wine before the emperor’s im

Lent begins today (18 February), on Ash Wednesday, marking the start of the forty-day season of repentance and preparation for Easter. The word Lent  does not appear in Scripture, nor is there any command in the Bible to observe a forty-day pre-Easter fast. Nevertheless, the season is rooted in the example of Christ’s forty days of fasting in the wilderness (Matthew 4:2). Scripture also records other practices that later inspired Lent, including the fasting of Moses, Elijah,

Today (Feb 18) marks the beginning of Lent, the forty-day season of repentance and preparation for Easter. As Jesus fasted in the wilderness before beginning his ministry, so believers are invited to humble themselves, seek purification of heart, and return to God with renewed commitment to compassion and righteousness. The following is a suggested vegan Lenten plan. 1. Guiding Vision “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness… to let the oppressed

Recently, TT, a member of our FB group, Vegan Theology, left the following comment under one of my posts:- “Ugh... if there was an all-powerful loving God. how can he watch the suffering that goes on (in a factory farm for instance) and not do a thing?!... just because he wants to give free will.. that's such a lame excuse.. the real reason is because that God is totally non-existent.” Whilst TT questions, “How can a loving God allow suffering?”, my line of thought explores t

The Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse falls on February 17 this year, ushering in the Year of the Crimson Sheep the following year. The notorious “Red Horse, Crimson Sheep Calamity” in Eastern cosmology is strikingly mirrored by the Red Horse and Bloodied Lamb prophecy in Revelation. Together, they offer a lens to foresee global events in the coming two years: Dictators backed by the Dark Force will wage a world war, only to be destroyed by the very backfire they ignite. 1. 5

Introduction : “ A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones”  (Prov. 17:22). “Emotional wounds need emotional healing,” as the Hong Kong saying goes. Jesus must have healed Mary Magdalene’s ostracization and trauma (note 1) not only through exorcistic healing, but through love, inclusion, trust, camaraderie, and companionship. This aligns with His broader pattern of healing—not merely curing physical ailments, but restoring dignity, breaking so

A member of our FB group Vegan Theology recently asked me “why most vegans are atheists or non believers in God.” Well, what we can say, based on survey research (e.g., Faunalytics 2014; Pew Research Center 2014) (n.1) in the UK, US, and parts of Europe, is that vegans are more likely than the general population to identify as atheist, agnostic, or religiously unaffiliated. But available data does not demonstrate a majority of vegans are atheists. Many vegans who identify as

“Vegetarian” Christian theologian Stephen H. Webb (1961–2016) argued that MxDxxxxd’s provides inexpensive, calorie-dense food and implied that Christians should accept fast food and factory farming as unavoidable features of modern life. He even suggested that because Jesus identified with ordinary people and ate simple food, He would likely patronise MxDxxxxd’s were He to return today (Webb 2011:20–24). 1. Jesus Desires Compassion, Not Sacrifice! Such a claim fundamentally m

Summary : In the OT, there are graphic descriptions of animal sacrificial rituals that make them sound like an evil cult dedicated to Satan. E.g., in Exodus (29:15-17) and Leviticus (7:1-6), there are phrases like "hands on its head", “slaughter”, "Cut... into pieces", "blood... to be splashed against the sides of the altar", "internal organs", "the head and the other pieces", "both kidneys with the fat", "liver", etc. In these two books, as well as Numbers and Ezekiel, it’s

Wyatt Allen (2026), Public speaker at Amazing Facts International, a Seventh-day Adventist evangelistic ministry, argues that enforced Sunday observance could become the “mark of the beast” as in Revelation 13:15-17, and that it was Constantine, not God, that set up Sunday to be special. I deeply respect Mr. Allen’s desire to honour what God called holy. Nonetheless, Christians were already gathering on the first day of the week to celebrate the resurrection well before Const
