Well Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners, who am I not to eat ileya meat?

was it not Jesus dat says wot a man ate cannot defy him but wotsoeva comes out of him... Besides, apostle paul also told d colosians (col 2:16) dat dey should nt allow any1 2 judge em about wot dy eat nd wot dy drink or in respect of certain holy day or god.....

So to me its a matter of conscience, if ur conscience z judging u dnt eat it nd vice versa. So i dnt see any big deal in eatn it in as much as i wil bless nd sanctify it b4 eatn it.

As Christians, it is not right to eat it. Don't even touch it. Just send it to my house and I will dispose of it for you


Our Ileyah meat does not have any incantation recited on it, it is just same as any normal meat you'll find at the market or else where

I am not the one that said God has a son which is a very well known attribute of the created. It is you that claim the divine has attributes of the created and are having a hard time reconciling the inherent contradiction.

I say God is above all human attributes and Ivdo not have any contradictions to reconcile. :-P :-P :-P

Do you know why creatures have offspring? To ensure the continuation of their kind or they would be as dead as the Dodo.

The divine has no such problems, trying to imply He has offspring is quite stupid by all means.

A good number of Christians throw it away as well because it makes no sense. You cannot make sense out of nonsense, only the inept try such.
Can you and xwolverine please keep to topic?

So, any leftover meat dey?

1 cor 8 vs 4
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. 9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
1 corinthians 10:20 But i say that the things which the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and i would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
Ileya meat is not just ordinary meat, special prayer is offered bfor killing it; it is a sacrifice muslims must offer to their god yearly.

Your ignorance no get part 2.

If you were told this, go slap whoever did. If you assumed it yourself, slap yourself.

Before any Muslim kills any meat, he/she says a little prayer. Sallah or no Sallah. Maybe you need to stop eating meat from the local abattoir then cos they are prayed on

Let me clear out the misconception. Ileya meat is not a sacrifice to any idol rather is a sacrifice to Allah(GOD) We do it in line of the messenger of God Abraham when a ram was used in replacement of his son Ishmail (suratul swafat) to make sacrifice for Allah(GOD) so please illaya is not a sacrifice to idol, and before the ram is slaughtered we say, IN THE NAME OF ALLAH(GOD) THE GREATEST, then it is safe for eating and if the prayer is not said, then the meat is unlawful (dat is u can't eat it or give it out)

Here is what the bible says about it: if your conscience does not condemn you and it does not make another Christian faith shake, then go ahead and eat, even the ones offered to idols, else don't. The bible's New Testament position is that what we eat does not make unclean. It's what comes out of us that makes us unclean.

For me, I dey chop am, no shaking!

Re: Is It Okay For A Christian To Eat Ileya Meat? by Nobody: 10:36am On Oct 05, 2014
The solution to this question is simple as ABC.

Whenever you are celebrating Sallah, invite friend, neighbor etc. to your house for the feast; anybody that shows up have no problem with sallah/ileya meat. In other word, don't offer meat, offer invitations.

Hence, nobody is offended (both the "giver" and the "givee" ) and no meat is wasted.

i just want to b luking at them. Most of this christain guys doesn't know anything abt d bible. The history of ileya come from Abraham. And am sure is in the bible. Did Abraham offer his animal to an idol? Most on u christian r jst idiot that need to be ignored.

Mallam, God do not need your animal any more, Jesus Christ has already paid the price, by allowing Himself to be sacrificed and used as the sacrificial Lamb for the atonement of the sin of mankind.

Hey bro, no need to be sentimental about this, this topic is very wide, but I will just say the little I can. Yes, It is a sacrifice but is every sacrifice a sin? It’s true we slaughter the animals but do we perform any strange rites or do we put these animals at shrines or at mosques for God to eat? We only slaughter some specified animal as stated in our holy book just like how animals are slaughtered when people are celebrating ceremonies, we eat and even share the meat with our neighbours and friends who can’t afford to buy one. Are other sacrifices you have witnessed or heard of done this way? What is wrong if Allah set out a special day to celebrate and remember an occasion that that is even in the Bible (remember story of Abraham and his son) and for you to really know you are being sentimental, judging from what you wrote, you definitely want it compared with that of the idol worshippers whereas you can clearly note the difference. And please before you write or post anything brother, you should have a clear and deep understanding and not a vague idea about probably from what you have heard people say. You may eat the meat or may not, it’s your choice. May God continue to enlighten us?
