[Just wondering what the general opinion was on killing animals, whether it be for food, self-defence, hunting etc..]
After Adam & Eve's fall, God immediately clothed them in animal skins. That was a type of what He would do by clothing us in His Son's righteousness when we call upon His Name for salvation, applying His atoning blood to cover our sins.

Only a dyed-in-the-wool fundie would turn a question about the ethics of hunting into a lecture about God's atonement.
Okay, firstly... 'Noahic'? Is this a real word or did you just, you know, pull it out of your pastor's rectum?
God created the Earth, the Sun, the universe, etc...but couldn't handle a pair of pants without killing animals?
God could just as easily made them clothes out of cotton, or linen, or wool, or any number of other textiles that don't require anything to die.
Maybe God invented Faux Fur? No really. I am going to don the fantastical delusions of my past Christianity to answer this: "It was after the Noahic flood that animals also became food for people to eat with God's blessing.”
Ah yes, "Noahic" - because "Global" causes snickers amongst anyone with an IQ over 80, and "Noahdic", while sounding better, causes snickers amongst anyone with an IQ under 80.
Clothing us in his son's righteousness? Blood to cover our sins? Neither that type of clothing nor that type of covering has anything to do with animal hides. So, it was alright to kill animals, just not OK to eat them?
"christdependant" - Please get a brain... If there was no death, why did God make male and female animals that weren't part of the food chain? The world would be overrun by insects in no time if the spiders and birds weren't eating them as one tiny example.
John Raptor said:"God could just as easily made them clothes out of cotton, or linen, or wool, or any number of other textiles that don't require anything to die."
Confused?
