1 Corinthians 8:1-13
Pal talked about food sacrificed to idols.
We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, bur love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God.
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. The Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
Be careful that the exercise of our freedom may become a stumbling block to the weak. For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating i an idol's temple, won't he be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols. Therefor, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall.
Why?
We are freedom through Jesus Christ, this is knowledge, but for the love, don't let weak Christians or consciences one saw us and fall, so we'd rather never eat the food sacrificed to idols.
All of us and food came from the Father and for our live. Jesus Christ through whom all things came and through whom we live. How wonderful our Lord and Jesus Christ.
Be careful our behavior might affect others we do not know, but love can cover everything.
Trade groups and clubs held their social functions at the temples. Most of the meat sold in the shops had first been offered in sacrifice.
No one should exercise personal freedom at the expense of another person's conscience. Love is more important than knowledge.
The issue is not so much the food as where i is eaten It is never right - no even on social occasions - to eat at the table of demons in a pagan temple.
How?
Be careful to use our freedom came from God and through Jesus Christ. Pay more love to the weaker one and who does know Jesus Christ.
