Easiest to see if you translate Revelations yourself word for word. The English translation has created many things that were not there in Greek, creating whole beliefs about the future that are just plucked out of the air, by English translators.
Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
I have my own discussion group, including a Hindu and Buddhist. In comparisons of the differing texts, and the LOO, we found that the common understandings of the Buddhist texts are riddled with misunderstandings. My buddy in India was complaining about the same problem with the Hindu texts. Rampant fundamentalism takes meaning and hides it from the masses.
BTW, the whole group has the ability to communicate with the Soul and Spirit, and so validating thoughts, ideas, or even history, is fairly easy. Jesus did not eat meat.
