mastermind2020: [b]The problem i have with believers of today is the fact that they do not follow true scripture but act out of fear. The word of God abhors fear...It declares "Perfect Love casts away fear"...Jesus ate with sinners because he had to identify with them for the sake of the gospel..All these unnecessary walls we build around ourselves as believers are wrong as we have been sent into the world and also equipped to tackle the issues we might encounter in the world while on assignment such as not being hurt when we pick up or drink any deadly thing and nothing by no means being able to hurt us..many of us read these words and hear them being preached but never practice it. God does not recognize idols so he expects His children not to recognize any idol either so when we are given food offered to idols and we refuse eating it it means we have recognized the idol but when we eat it as children of God we do so to the glory of God almighty. The only reason why God says we should not eat it is when in the presence of a young believer who is still fearful and who believes eating such is wrong so for the sake of his conscience and faith we must not eat but when alone or when they are not there then feel free to feast and break the bone with your teeth and lick your fingers an lips to the glory of God. [size=15pt] 1 Corinthians 8 King James Version (KJV) 8 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

@_spice 123. every heavenly religion believes truthfulness is next to godliness. for personal reasons; you may decide to abstain from eating Sallah meat; that is perfectly normal but for you to lie about Muslims using Sallah meat to wash away sin and bad luck shows how daft and bias you are. well if you don't genuinely know. Muslims don't believe the blood or flesh of either animal or human can wash away sin or avert badluck. the purpose of the meat is clearly stated in the Quran .Allah does not need either the flesh or blood the piety in the heart during festivity (and beyond) is what matters. the meat is meant to be eaten and enjoyed. it is magnanimity that makes Muslims extend the delicious meat to neighbours and less priviledged. this is 21st century get your facts right.before spewing ignorance. 9 Likes |

Boyooosa: You can eat whatever to the glory of God according to your faith. It is not what goes into a man that defiles him but what comes out of him. As a believer i recognize no idol and they have no authority over me...I only acknowledge the almighty God and as his servant i will eat whatever is presented to me even if the devil himself prepared it specially for me an i will do it with thanksgiving to God. I have eaten from shrines on a number of occasions while on crusade work to several interior villages here in Nigeria so let all be done by faith |

in my own opinion, It is not wrong to eat because the ram is a sacrifice to Allah and Allah means God not idol. I am a christian and i believe we are serving the same God but what baffles me is that we(Christians) believe Isaac was the one replaced with the ram but Muslims says it is Ishmael but all the same I will always eat it unless I see a vision not to eat it again. 1 Like |

This is a doctrine that started from the father of faith Abraham. If you query the Muslims you are querying the father of all nations. That been said bible said eat everything good and give thanks to God. Stop reading the other side of the bible. Anyways many Christians are not following the Bible again 1 Like |

See many many pharesee christians here trying to stop a fellow christian from eating ram offered to him by a moslem with a good heart. In Matth 9:10,11 and Mark 2:13-17 Jesus eat with publicans, Jews, moslems, tax collectors etc and same pharisees as we have here started condemning. Abeg there is nothing wrong with eating the ram. Jesus says eat. Galatians 2:11 Peter was eating with the gentiles and when he saw some other brethren from James he started withdrawing and Paul condemned him for his act of withdrawal because they is nothing wrong thwith eating with themm |

The level of ignorance displayed by some NLs is out of this world. Even if you are not a Muslim, a little research (if mischief is not intended), will reveal to you the origin of the practice. Read people. Read and be enlightened 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Okay wait,I am not understanding,so if I eat meat now God go vex for me?,I don't know why people still raise issue over things that have no impact in propagating this Gospel of Christ. For heaven sake jesus ate and dinned with sinners and even invited himself to their gathering. Why can't we just shun religion and be christians? There are more important things to discuss in propagating this gospel than whether or not I am to eat a piece of meat..... |

Godsate: Jesus did not come to declare to you how to eat only those things that are prayed over in His name...He came to teach you how to live His kind of Life and His life is clearly laid out in the Scriptures for us to read. He ate with publicans and sinners and was not biased over anyone because He was sent to the lost and the sinner which He has in turn now sent us... Every Born again child of God is led by the spirit of God and if God could send Jesus to die for us while we were yet sinners is it meat he would forbid us from eating? 1 Like |
