Thanks Lizzkz for the comment. read Genesis 9:2-3, Acts 10:10-15. these portions tell clearly that Christians can eat meat. Which means that you need not abstain from meat for living a holy life. 6th commandment specifically talks about murder. it does not refer to criminals being sent to the gallows or killing that happens in the battlefield for the sake of defending one's country. in these two cases its done for the sake of justice. 6th commandment is talking about murder which is not just
