...hey lookitme I canz Google a whole buncha irrelevant Scripture...

Wow, you found a bunch of Scripture that mentions animals, good for you!! We'll have teacher put a gold star on your next report card!! Mommy will be so proud of her little guy!!

No, we won't.

Now, try finding something that says "animal testing is wrong or bad somehow", like Pastor Ezekiel asked. You'll know you've found something relevant when you see the words "animal testing" or possibly "vivisection". Good luck. You'll need it.

23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

I've left the ESV quotation there, but included context from the KJV for comparison and to demonstrate how "cherry-picking" blinkers the reader. In this case a critical question is left unanswered. WHY DO HERDS EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE? And God has included that point right there in verse 26.

A verse not quoted.

Animals are used for many purposes. For sacrifice—as commanded by God—as beasts of burden, for food but not as romantic partners. Are not two birds purchased for a penny? And what exactly do you think happens to the birds next? It was not for the benefit of animals that sacrifice ceased but because people did cynicism. Grunting in their sins, wallowing in intoxication, lying, cheating, stealing.

Then they'd flounce off to the Temple, make the sacrifice or have the Priest offer various portions of chopped up animals heaving them aloft or spraying their blood around over the congregants as the case may be.

Then off home for a good ol’ steal cheat lie wallow and grunt session.

No wonder God destroyed the Temple!

Many heretical versions leave out foundational elements from true Christian doctrine. Perhaps the ESV is one of them—the Pastors would be able to answer that for you—but I checked verse 26 and it's there.

ESV warning heretical version included to demonstrate cherry-picking
23 Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds,
24 for riches do not last forever; and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 When the grass is gone and the new growth appears and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 the lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field.
27 There will be enough goats’ milk for your food, for the food of your household and maintenance for your girls.

Re: support animal testing!

I would like to mention that I had my dog tested and his IQ is exactly the same as that of Vice President Joe Biden.


For this reason, I support animal testing.

Re: support animal testing!

I am perfectly fine with animal testing. At least then muslims serve a purpose.
