Do you disagree with the writings of Paul concerning food offered to idols?


1 Corinthians 8: 8 Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do….
1 Corinthians 10: 31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Context is king - the question isn’t the meat itself, it was WHERE you ate the meat. To eat “food sacrificed to idols” you had to be at the orgy participating or condoning.

If left over meat was for sale, it would go to market allowing hungry families an opportunity for food. Gentiles were debating if the dictates from the Council of Jerusalem meant it was a sin to eat that food. Paul clarifies and says “no”

If what I just said isn’t true, I could easily flip the question back on to you: do you disagree with Acts 15?
