Are You Eating Food Polluted By Idols?

What is an idol? An idol could be anything from money to lust to knowledge.

It teaches in 1 Corinthians 8:1 that “concerning food sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes one conceited, but love edifies people.

Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and for the sake of conscience;”

We are taught some limits concerning the rights of a believer. We may eat of any animal regardless if it is Kosher or not.

However, we are not to drink the life blood of the animal, or food polluted by idols.

If you ever suspect your food has been tampered with, simply say the name of the Father over it, and it will be blessed.

However, if you do not pronounce the name of Allah over your food, you will surely be condemned for eating food polluted by idols.

An-Nahl 16:1

“He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
