Only for conscience sake, that is, for the sake of the conscience of one offering the meat sacrificed to idols. We need to be cautious for the sake of weaker brethren. The Christian is under no absolute prohibitions in eating meat sacrificed to idols.
Besides, no one here has established that this is food actually “sacrificed to idols” in any biblical sense. It’s merely a WorldNutDaily author repeating the theory of this right-wing pastor.
Frankly, it makes Christians who repeat it look foolish, but that’s nothing new.
“Acts and Corinthians makes clear such pagan-sacrificed meat should be avoided.
Only for conscience sake”
A very pharsitical answer.
The text says “You must abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. “
“Must”
Not “it’s a good idea”
“Must”
Is “sexual immorality” also OK? You know, since no one gets hurt? It’s the same list.
It amazes me the ability people have to justify actions that are clearly stated as “don’t do it.”
