Paul wrote that meat sold in the market is ok to eat even if it was sacrificed to demons so long as you have no specific reason to believe it was. 1 Corinthians 10:23-33
What does this have to do with us today in America? Consider the principle… There's nothing sinful in getting paid by a thief for doing honest work or in eating a steak that was cut from a stolen cow if you have no way of knowing that you are benefiting from someone else's sin. However, once you know, then you have some decisions to make.
“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.
1 Corinthians 10:23
"All things are lawful" in this verse is not a blanket statement for all behaviors in all circumstances. Paul was only addressing the specific circumstances of eating meat sacrificed to idols when you are not worshiping the idols. "All things are lawful" should be understood as "All of these things are lawful", which in context means "All otherwise clean meat is lawful even if it was sacrificed to idols".
Even so, it is often good to abstain from many things that are morally acceptable but that might cause other problems, such as by the appearance of sin, which might lead a weaker brother to think the apparent action isn't sinful at all.
Hi guys, I'm sorry that I haven't been on in a long time. It's been busy here: I've started a YouTube channel and I've been working hard on making very wholesome content (especially with Search and Rescue). I also am taking guitar lessons so that I can start making music, and trying to work on vocals. I'm glad to be a part of this community and I promise to stick around more than I have been. I hope you enjoy my content, my link is www.youtube.com/@NoahEargle-ku4ld . Have a blessed day (early Shabbat Shalom)!
But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." And he said to her, "For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter." And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
Mark 7:28-30
Humility gains favor with God. Yeshua made a deliberately insulting statement to this woman, not because he thought she was unworthy of his help, but because he wanted to reveal her character.
European Jews Stealing tribal land from Palestinians! Europian Jews stealing Palestinian land thanks to Britain. Palestine is made up of the poorest left behind known as Dan, Benjamin, and Yehudah. Palestinian land is part of the original Yisra'êl property lines. Scripture says the poorest will remain, but that a ravaging of the people will happen again as it is happening now. If you stand with a terrorist state that was propped up less than a 100 years ago that mass murdered its own people in order to become a state, you are lost.
