Christian Bowhunters of America - Is it really Christian?
By Frank L. Hoffman 6 Sept 1998

The article in the Flint Journal on Christian Bowhunters of America is another case of our trying to sanitize violence in our society, and even worse, to sanitize it in our churches.

By their own admission, they seek the concessions (Genesis 9:2) of God to justify their sins, rather than seeking to do the ultimate will of God (Genesis 1:29-30).

In my opinion, the very fact that they admit to getting pleasure from the suffering and death of another being is proof that they are out of the will of God. Nowhere is the Bible are we told to enjoy killing.

The eating of flesh was only a concession; however, in each and every case, it was to be done with compassion and reverence. I believe that what they are doing is not Christian, nor are they following the Hebrew teachings of the Bible. They seem to be acting as children of the devil.
