Don’t worry about it. 1 Corinthians 8:4–13 covers it for us. As long as we know that the muslim pagan god is not real, we can eat their food.

I thought of that verse when I posted it. I didn't say I was forbidden. I said I wouldn't be thrilled.

And I wouldn't be. Maybe God won't care, but it bothers me. And unless in extremis, I wouldn't.

Ask no questions. But if you are told that the meat you are about to eat has been sacrificed to pagan gods then it is not good to eat as you will be considered a follower of that pagan god.

During the persecutions, Christians were given the option of eating meat sacrificed to the Emperor or being put to death.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU "it doesn't make a difference," Freepers?

Read the same lame diatribe here by several Freepers (just before Thanksgiving) when it was learned that ALL Butterball turkeys were "Halal."

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE BEING FED HALAL MEATS, IT HAS EVERYTHINGTO DO WITH A TINY MINORITY OF PRACTITIONERS OF THE "RELIGION OF PIECES" FOISTING THEIR "SHARIA" CONCEPTS UPON US KAFURS/INFIDELS IN AN EFFORT TO GAIN EVER MORE CONCESSIONS AND ADVANCE THEIR "STEALTH JIHAD" UNTIL WE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS THE EU.

Wake up and smell the encroachment over out Liberties and Freedom.....BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!

The scripture you referenced doesn’t say that.

Here it is:

7 However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But food will not [b]commend us to God; we are neither [c]the worse if we do not eat, nor [d]the better if we do eat. 9 But take care that this [e]liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols? 11 For through your knowledge he who is weak is ruined, the brother for whose sake Christ died. 12 And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.
