Show me where it is written in the Bible that we can eat food sacrificed to idols?
Don't say what you don't know
Read Acts 15:28,29

28 For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you

Since when did the God of Abraham become an idol. You should pick your Bible and read sometime.

The problem with some of you guys is that you have developed so much hatred in your hearts so much so it has completely blinded your sense of judgement and reasoning.

oh! why don't you consider Ajayi Crowther translation to Yoruba. Yes! they are equal to Jesus here on earth. Because they also performed miracles and are led by the holy spirit in writing the Bible. The holy spirit inspired them in writing, that is why they cannot exaggerate. Isaiah talked about Jesus many years before his coming. he doesn't even know where when and how he will be born he just knew what he will be.
you're confused.... Stop hurting yourself... "Holy Spirit"... You're really hurting yourself... Don't be deceived...

I don't know. Perhaps the ''badluck'' is reserved for the ones you give out. You have not denied the allegation yet. Why is that?
How exactly is the badluck packaged into the meat?

May ALLAH forgive you for saying what you do not have knowledge about..............
Muslims slaughter ram(s) and eat from it. Any one who kills ram z expected to divide it into three. A part goes to his family members(especially those that can't afford to buy ram), another part goes to his neighbour and he (with is wife n children)eats d last part........
Do not say what u don't know. fear God
Allah does not need blood neither does he demand meat. he only wants piety

@Op It is not only wrong but it's a bad luck to eat it. They actually cast their lots (bad luck and past sins) on the ram before killing it and so if you partake in it,........

4everGod:


[b]They (Muslims) kill Rams because they follow an aspect of Abrahamic life which is symbolic with the time God instructed Abraham to replace His son Isaac with the Ram for an offering but in their case they replaced Isaac with Ishmael Abrahams son from Sarahs maid.

Christians are no longer doing this since Christ became the Lamb of God and the only eternally acceptable sacrifice to God. We, however are not to condemn their actions but to show them Love as it is through our acts of Love toward them that they can listen to our message of Jesus and yield.

The eating of the meat when it is offered is to be done by us out of Love if we are matured enough to remove superstition, hatred, bitterness and self righteousness from the equation but when one is still a growing believer and still subject to emotions then by all means do not partake.

Eating or not eating does not make us draw closer to God but the motive behind our eating or not eating can either make us draw closer or move away from Him.[/b]
Bro. this is not the only way to show love, this issue is not about taking food or meat from Muslims but "Ileya" meat. I have a lot of Muslims as friends I eat and dine with them but when it comes to eating "ileya" it's a no go area.!
Mind you Abraham was also told to sacrifice Isaac, why following the trend Jesus has eradicated? Shalom!

.

It was high noon on a hot day. Jesus, tired from traveling, chose a sensible rest stop—Jacob's well outside the town of Sychar—while waiting for his disciples to go into town for food. When our unnamed woman appeared with clay jar in hand, Jesus made a simple request: "Will you give me a drink?" (John 4:7).

Uh-oh. (1) Jews weren't supposed to speak to Samaritans. (2) Men weren't permitted to address women without their husbands present. And (3) rabbis had no business speaking to shady ladies such as this one.
Jesus was willing to toss out the rules, but our woman at the well wasn't. "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman," she reminded him. "How can you ask me for a drink?" (John 4:9).

EVEN JESUS DRANK WATER FROM A SAMARITAN WOMAN. BACK IN THE DAY WHEN JEWS AND SAMARITANS WERE ENEMIES AND WITH OPPOSITE RELIGION

Why do you like to read Bible in part.

A voice from heaven told Peter to kill and eat, but since the sheet contained unclean animals, Peter declined. The command was repeated two more times, along with the voice saying, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common" (verse 15) and then the sheet was taken back to heaven (Acts 10:16).

Please you have to understand the bible very well before you comment on this very topic.
Just as you have said @spice123, i guest you do not even read through the scription before you post it. it was written in the bible BOLDLY

1 Corinthians 8.
Concerning Food Sacrificed to Idols

8 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. 2 Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. 3 But whoever loves God is known by God.[a]

4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.” 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

So please study before cementing

Another: 1 Corinthians 10:28

New International Version
But if someone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.

@4everGod In a layman's understanding it's just like someone saying that he he's not a robber but he gets gift from his known robber friend and even eats part of what he steals and yet says to himself that he does not steal. WHAT AN IRONY! You are an accomplice unknowingly.
Guy I think you should do more by studying the two scriptures and understand it than just quoting the guy just to prove a point.

It Makes absolutely no sense to me.

One of the things about Christianity that really bugs me is how easy it is for hate to be taught from the pulpit....

Some churches infuse fear into their congregation in order to control them and keep them in line...

The level of hatred is just terrible.
They infuse so much fear so that their pastors can fleece them of their hard earned money. They tell them foolish mammy water spirit stories, about witches and wizards everywhere, they easily label their own kids as evil kids and may even harm the poor child.

Their pastors have instilled so much fear into them that they keep going back to meet those pastors for salvation forgeting that salvation is with Almighty God, while the pastors conveniently empty their pockets.

I believe so too. I think we should make a strong complain to Seun the owner of Nairaland because the silly mode that moved this stoopid thread to frontpage did it to ridicule Islam and Muslims. If not how can you explain it. Year in year out this question keeps coming up and they keep moving it to front page.

To say that some Christians appear to be among the most gullible people on the planet seems to be a gigantic understatement..

This is not an attack but an observation,some Christians are taught that gullibility is the most noble attribute they can have..

Okay, the question doesn't make sense.

Do we eat Ram on the basis of being a Christian or simply as partakers in a meal with our neighbour or friends? Then we go back to "who is my neighbour" and on what basis are we refusing? When we go into Sweet Sensation, Mister Biggs or Mamaput, do we contemplate the religion of the person doing the cooking or serving before we order?

I want to be part of an inclusive society, not pigeonholed and alienated because of belief. I want for my neighbour, irrespective of belief, what I want for myself. And I will gladly take that Jollof and cooked Ram and will thank God for it!

"It Right For A Christian To Eat The Moslem Ram During This Celebration" is moot.
