In 1 Corinthians 10, the Apostle Paul lays out what is essentially a “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” regarding meats sacrificed to idols. My take is that Christians should probably not eat meat that they know is halal, but do not need to worry about unknowingly eating it and should not ask if meat is halal.
I won’t eat meat that is labeled or advertised as halal. That said, it might not be completely clear whether halal food is actually “sacrificed” to the muslim moon god when it is blessed in its name.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; 26 for “the earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness.”
27 If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake. 28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; for “the earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness.” 29 “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? 30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. - 1 Corinthians 10:25-31
27 If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.
That is very interesting. I wonder if I get invited to a friends home who is not Catholic during Lent and they are having steaks. I can eat them without sin? Wow. I like this little quote that is not mentioned much. I wonder if the Catholic Bible says the same? Or are you Catholic?????? I HOPE.....lol.
