Of the Ten Commandments, those that refer to non-killing, stealing, purity of charaeter, drinking etc. are quite in consonance with Jainism. The Bible prescribes vegetarianism: “ Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth and every tree which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. ” [ Genesis chapt I, 29.] “While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.” (See verse 33 and also verses 19 and 20 ) General Booth of the Salvation Army, himself a vegetarian, preaches that creed to all his followers.
