Namaste! Please read what Tim Bush posted elsewhere:
"For many Christians, major stumbling blocks are the belief
that Christ ate meat and the many references to meat in the New
Testament. But close study of the original Greek manuscripts shows
that the vast majority of the words translated as `meat' and
`trophe, brome,' and other words that simply mean `food' or
`eating' in the broadest sense. For example, in the Gospel of St.
Luke (8:55) we read that Jesus raised a woman from the dead and
`commanded to give her meat.' The original Greek word translated as
`meat' is `phago,' which means only `to eat.' The Greek word for
meat is kreas (`flesh'), and it is never used in connection with
Christ. Nowhere in the New Testament is there any direct reference
to Jesus eating meat. This is in line with Isaiah's famous prophecy
about Jesus's appearance, `Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and
bear a son, and shall call him name Immanuel. Butter and honey
shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil and choose the
good.'"
