Lol, that's why i like yoruba muslims, especially the ones who grew up in the south-west. But you see the ones who grew up in the north, just forget it.

If eating it will not bring down the faith of a fellow christain, then it's okay to eat it. I would have their chin chin over their meat any day. With the rate I don't trust these our tenants self, I wdon't think I'll eat anything today.
yours is different, you aren't eating it because you don't trust them and not because they are Muslims.. I. Myself as a Christian won't collect food from some Christians.

[quote author=Kobojunkie post=89893579]Here is what Jesus said about food.

Jesus has spoken -- eating food will not make you unclean.









Good man, you have said it all. They called Jesus a drunkard and purveyor of whores because he hung out with tax collectors and prostitutes. The first person to get into paradise was an armed robber. All these holier than thou Christians that choose parts of the scriptures to justify their idiocy will be shocked to see
muslims, Buddhists and atheists in heaven.

I have lived in the North for over 10 years and they would never share in our own Christian celebration...

Rather if they catch a Muslim BRETHREN trying to share in Christian celebration they will threaten to kill the person eventually

Yorubas are our major problem in Nigeria as a nation. They don't know what is abomination is religion or politics. No different between Yoruba Moslems and Christians. They can freely share their place of worship with each other. The will eat anything eatable and married themselves regardless of what their religious holy book said.

keep on typing nonsense.. Mark 2 vs 16 and 17 .16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

you come to call the sinners too? or you are giving reasons to justify eating lambs and chickens they kill while incantating the name of allah as sacrifice.. Enter shrine too and dine with the native doctor

I already read that verse. but I need to hear your thoughts.
I feel since There is only one God, and this one God is both the God and Father of Jesus and the Lord Jesus himself. Because Jesus is Lord, idols are themselves nothing, following the tradition of the critique of idolatry in the Old Testament. We have nothing to fear, and nothing to worry about—and we are therefore free to eat whatever food we like, without any anxiety.




My brother, nobody's thought or opinion matters than the truth.

I think if yhu truly want to know the truth yhu would seek the understanding of the Holy Spirit and not the thoughts of any man.

Left for me, topic like this is very very unnecessary on a forum like this. A place where many are being lead astrayed with heresies. A place where the body of Christ is ridiculed and bashed by those who lack the knowledge of God.

Some topics are better discussed in yhur local assembly among those who are followers of Christ and seek the true knowledge of Him who has called us.

May God give us understanding and may we not be an instrument the devil uses to drag the church in the mud.


Shallom.

To eat food during a festival is now a sin? The brainwashing is really deep. How does it concern YOU if the northerners don't eat your meal during Easter or Christmas? Eat and be merry. Don't allow religion increase the divide it has already caused. Love God first and love your neighbour as you love your self. That is the ultimate command. Anyhow you want to twist it is that person's problem. At the end of the day, it is each one for himself. Nobody will hold your hand in your life's journey. We will thread it alone and grow from our experiences.
I don't miss their ram during Salah plus chilled beer to push it down.

I know that there is no food that is wrong to eat. The Lord Jesus is the one who convinced me of that. But if someone believes that something is wrong, then it is wrong for that person. If you hurt the faith of your brother or sister because of something you eat, you are not really following the way of love. Don’t destroy anyone’s faith by eating something they think is wrong. Christ died for them. Romans 14:14‭-‬15 ERV


But not all people know this. Some have had the habit of worshiping idols. So now when they eat meat, they still feel as if it belongs to an idol. They are not sure that it is right to eat this meat. So when they eat it, they feel guilty. But food will not bring us closer to God. Refusing to eat does not make us less pleasing to God, and eating does not make us closer to him. But be careful with your freedom. Your freedom to eat anything may make those who have doubts about what they can eat fall into sin. You understand that it’s all right to eat anything, so you can eat even in an idol’s temple. But someone who has doubts might see you eating there, and this might encourage them to eat meat sacrificed to idols too. But they really think it is wrong. So this weak brother or sister—someone Christ died for—is lost because of your better understanding.1 Corinthians 8:7‭-‬11 ERV


Both 1Cor 8 and Romans 14 are saying the same thing. You are free to eat anything even in the temple of the so called idols as was said in 1Cor 8:10 and Rom 14:14.

Two conditions..
1. Consuming it must not make someone else's to sin or affect their Faith's Rom 14:21 and 1Cor8:13.

2. If your mind tells you it's wrong then it's a sin,1Cor 8:10c and Rom 14:23.

So if you fulfilled these conditions go ahead and eat.

It's considered a bit of an oddity for Christians to feast with moslems in iftar feast.

Today, I joined my friends in their iftar feast. It’s called being polite and a good neighbor. For years, I have invited Muslim friends to attend our Easter party and they have graciously attended year after year. So when they have a potluck when their month of fasting ends, I go to their party. It’s a Jesus thing. I wish more Christians would reach out in love as Jesus did.

Ok, That's my opinion, I need to hear your thoughts on this.
would you partake in a meal with the chief juju priest in your village if he invited you?

seanfer:


Does that mean Meals prepared during Easter is meant for idols?

Meals prepared during Easter are not sacrifices compared to sacrificing a ram on sallah, moreover a Christian can eat Sallah because he doesn't even consider Allah to be the true God.

But he or she won't do this if a new Christian is around the corner...btheres a part in the Bible for this that says if good will make your brother sin then do not eat it.

1 Corinthians 8:4-16
Paul clarifies the teaching on this subject. First, he says that eating meat offered to an idol is not immoral, because “an idol is nothing at all.” An idol is an inanimate object. “Food,” he says, “does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.” The meat itself is amoral. However, there is more to consider, namely the brother with a weak conscience. Some believers, especially those with a background of idol worship, were still very sensitive concerning this issue and considered it morally wrong to eat meat sacrificed to idols. Under no circumstances, Paul says, should a believer encourage another believer to violate his conscience. To the pure, all things are pure

(Titus 1:15), but to one with a weak conscience, meat taken from pagan temples was spiritually defiled. It would be better never to eat meat again than to cause a believer to sin against his conscience.

Is that not a good thing? If everyone can see beyond their religious beliefs and coexist peacefully is that not a positive development. Jesus feasted with a tax collector and converted him in the process.The truth is that you can't win people over to your side when you show them that they disgust you.Not eating with Muslims is not part of the great commission in fact not eating with them is hypocrisy at its peak. You use Facebook everyday do you know Mark's religion? You watch football and even play bet9ja,do you know that most of those guys don't even believe that God exist? Baba there are things far more important to God than not eating Salah meat. You no chop Salah meat but you dey drink beer and Origin who is fooling who?
