BREAKING NEWS

Several classmates asked me if it is okay to eat food offered to idols or foreign Gods. I told them YES. It shocked them and they looked confused.

Confusions can be resolve by simple logic as follows:

1. My God is bigger than all the foreign Gods added up together. We are thought to pray and our prayers can produce results. One of our normal prayer is to ask that the food we eat are cleansed and safe for consumption. When we pray we believe it has already come to pass. If not, prayer is useless and/or God is not powerful to overcome foreign God's claim on food offered to them. We know everything belong to our God. He can claim it back anytime He wants.

2. Many Christians don't know or don't realize that KFC's chicken in Malaysia are all prayed on before slaughter. They are offered to foreign Gods. If they choose to abstain from eating food offered to idols or foreign Gods, they should stop eating KFC's chicken.

The bible is very clear............

Rom 14:19 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.
Rom 14:20 Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats.
Rom 14:21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.

CONCLUSION: If eating food offered to foreign God does not stumble a Christian on the dining table, I am okay to eat it and enjoy it. If I am the only Christian in the family and no other Christians on the dining table, I can eat as much as I can, as I wont be stumbling any Christians.
