4everGod:


OP as a believer there is nothing wrong with eating it! The bible says that we can eat even those things offered to idols but we should give thanks to almighty God for it. However this is for a grounded believer who lives by faith and not fear.

A young believer with doubts shouldnt do so and also a mature believer should not eat it in the presence of an immature believer who still believes that its not right to eat it.....this is for the sake of his faith.

Every food or animal comes from God so be they from Native doctors, juju worshippers, muslims etc feel free to eat if you are spiritually matured to do so. Afterall how would they accept you or your message when you reject their hospitality?

God bless you.

Godsate:
It is wrong.

The question you must ask youself are the following:

1. Are they killing the Ram as sacrifice to God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ?

2. Did they mention the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy spirit when killing the ram?

3. The prayer during and after the killing of the ram is it in the name of Jesus Christ ?

If all these answers are no then the meat is not for the children of God.

Every true born again children of God with holy spirit in him knows that it's wrong to eat the meat.

Jesus is Lord.

flamingREED:


You're wrong man.

So long as you're aware its offered to/blessed by the devil,
You eat to your soul's damnation.

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.

22 DO WE PROVOKE THE LORD TO JEALOUSY? ARE WE STRONGER THAN HE?

23 ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME, BUT ALL THINGS ARE NOT EXPEDIENT: ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME, BUT ALL THINGS EDIFY NOT.

25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
28 BUT IF ANY MAN SAY UNTO YOU, THIS IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE UNTO IDOLS, EAT NOT FOR HIS SAKE THAT SHEWED IT, AND FOR CONSCIENCE SAKE: FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND THE FULNESS THEREOF:
29 CONSCIENCE, I SAY, NOT THINE OWN, BUT OF THE OTHER: FOR WHY IS MY LIBERTY JUDGED OF ANOTHER MAN'S CONSCIENCE?

31 WHETHER THEREFORE YE EAT, OR DRINK, OR WHATSOEVER YE DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.

32 GIVE NONE OFFENCE, NEITHER TO THE JEWS, NOR TO THE GENTILES, NOR TO THE CHURCH OF GOD:

33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, THAT THEY MAY BE SAVED.



There's a great difference between what is well known to be the devil's feast
And what is presented in the market place for sale or in a casual feast for entertainment.

FOR THE FORMER IT'S TRANSGRESSION TO EAT.
IN THE TWO FOLLOWING CASES, RESPECT THE CONSCIENCE OF OTHERS

Boyooosa:

Can we eat a sacrifice strategically placed at the junction tooo? (well packaged sha o)

izzou:


Am a Christian but this is the dumbest post I have ever seen on nairaland this year



Whooooooohhh

U
Abeg which church you dey attend!

komododragons:
lol! I don't celebrate Christmas and easter.

gullible Christian do celebrate what there don't know

ProfessorPeter:
Can you give your Christmas food to a Muslim and he eat it? A serious Muslim will eat. The food and meat they eat are offered to idol

4everGod:


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

4everGod:



[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.

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.

this guy na confirm Mumu. the cow meat you have always eaten all your life that is slaughtered by abokis. do dey call name of Jesus or jehovah before they slaughter? once somebody is blinded by religious or ethnic bias; being incredibly stupid is a natural consequence.

drmuri:
@_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.

irepsuccess:
so, u dont eat suya?

okosodo:
Very wrong because you are an infidel

obiaguna:
Some Nigerians truly are brain dead and stuck in the mediaval ages. The same way Christians buy chicken and turkey during Christmas is the same way Muslim's buy rams and cow. Both are used to celebrate the season and there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating and partaking in any. Seriously we as Nigerians have a long way to go if a few lots are still thinking like they have no brain in their heads.
