meats..... This is a matter of conviction,
I'd say, can you eat meat sacrificed to ifa? Can you eat meat offered to a local deity. Then except you believe you serve the same God.
But you can abstain from meats offered to idols and still perish, so most importantly are REALLY born again?..
May the sacrifice of JeSuS be enough for our cleanising. Amen

It is wrong to eat of the meat.

If you live anywhere in the southwest or the north, most of the meat you eat is slaughtered in the exact same way as Ileya meat..

You can as well give up meat..

Muslims say: 'In the name of God, the greatest' before slaughter.

In the Bible Jesus said: what you take in does not defile a man but what comes out. *therefore, I will eat the meat. But if your own faith is weaker, don't imitate me please*

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
The bible said u can eat meat dedicated to god of the moon(ållah), since meat belongs to God. smiley

Am not really sure if its okay for christians to eat ileya meat. Some people will call it food offered to idols, but the bible permits us to eat any kind of meat. So is it okay to eat ileya meat?

It is based on your spiritual dispensation.
Bless it in Jesus name and eat..., Only the good conscience of a believer in Christ commends him or her to God,neither food nor drink makes you a child of God. It written in the commandments that you love your neighbor as yourself.
This is a very intriguing question ,because it bothers on religion,but religion is a personal thing to your soul. And it all depends on your spiritual maturity. If you are the type that is spiritually matured close to Christ's stature that He ate, you can eat it,but if not spiritually matured dont eat.

Shout out to all the blind Christians who are doling out their own self righteousness. You people take the mundane things of this world too seriously. I will have you all know that I am a Christian and I ate Ileya meat like say tomorrow no dey and it doesn't make me less of a Christian. I imagine the kind of misery and tortuous logic you guys rope yourselves into by lending false religious interpretations to everything.
My advice, go and discover God.

For all those that condemn the eating of ileya condemn Abraham who iS the father of all nations. Who are you to judge and assume in your isolated and biased brains that its oFfered to idols.. Before dem born wuna; your parents parents do eat it. So I blame it to your pastors that teach you the wrong thing to suck you of your offerings to buy jets and flashy cars.

...your choice of words is too unchristianly(...blind Christians...false religious interpretations). Do you not see in the scriptures where the Holy Bible say we should correct in love? And that we should come lets reason together? Choose your words carefully my friend, because pride goes before a fall.

If they pronounce that for themselves, you pronounce Jesus Christ to yourself. Equation balanced, let your belief be personal to your heart and not a weapon of canal warfare.
Are you saying because a Muslim Sanusi CBN gov worships Allah and signed Nigeria currency that you won't use money to eat or work? Jesus did not tell us to engage physically,only some misguided preachers are propagating their philosophies.

Find out about things before you say trash
It's lawful for Muslims to eat christians' food
Bismillah... Allah says in the Holy Qur'an:
Qur'an 5|5|"Made lawful to you this day are At-Tayyibat [all kinds of Halal (lawful) foods, which Allah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, etc., milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits, etc.). The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals, etc.) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time, when you have given their due Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), desiring chastity (i.e. taking them in legal wedlock) not committing illegal sexual intercourse, nor taking them as girl-friends. And whosoever disbelieves in the Oneness of Allah and in all the other Articles of Faith [i.e. His (Allah's), Angels, His Holy Books, His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], then fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers."

Q5|116|And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' " He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.

Q5|117|"Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).

Christians?! Smh... It's little you know about Allah, your God and Our God. I pity y'all. E go shock una after your death. Lol!

...Do you know that theology is an amalgam of truth and philosophies? Go and research its evolution. The Bible is the only incorruptible book ever reliable.

SirHouloo:
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?

LOL.

Abraham means anything to you? I guess not. You see when we tell you that Muslims are the true followers of all the Prophets (AS), you say no. Then you go and start castigating these holy people one by one.

Reality is different from boasts. We Muslims live it and honour all prophets from Adam to Muhammad (AS). Sacrifice of Jesus (AS)?

I laugh in Chinese because if you know the number of people that have taken a bullet for other people after what you believe to be his crucifixion, you would know that you are lying to yourselves.

Then again, you would argue that he is part of a trinity which just makes me laugh real hard.

God is not in the business of having children, wake-up. Divinity cannot be shared because by its very nature, it has to be absolute and incontestable. With your concept of trinity, you devalue divinity as inflation devalues money.

Gladly acepting what your neighbour gives you is also an act of love, rejecting it makes them dejected- which is not love.
