in religion there is no such thing as "i think". U shld always be guided by d scriptures not ur personal conviction.
Go through this:
***** THE NEW TESTAMENT: THE BLOOD OF JESUS, THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW TESTAMENT *****
God sent his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to take away the sin of the world once and for all. He is that better sacrifice that came to earth in the fullness of time. The Lord Jesus Christ is the perfect Lamb of God that shed his blood for us so that we could be saved from our sins that we have committed. It is the blood of Jesus that God requires now, not the blood of beasts. The blood of Jesus has the power to cleanse men from both the guilt and power of sin and it purges us all the way down to our very consciences. The blood of Jesus is the blood of the everlasting covenant. It saves us for eternity, it delivers us from sin, it purges our consciences, it gives us power--power to overcome the flesh, the devil, and the world.
The sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has completely abolished the system of animal sacrifice for ever. The blood of the animal sacrifices of the Old Testament only pictured what our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Israel's Messiah, would do when he shed his own blood on the cross.
There no way to approach God but through the blood of Jesus, that is it.
Ephesians 1:5-7 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
The blood of animals could never take away sins.
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Hebrews 10:4
We need the blood of Jesus. The blood of beasts was only a picture of the blood of Jesus that would be shed on the cross for the remission of our sins.
Christ Jesus came as a high priest by a greater and more perfect tabernacle than that of the Levitical priesthood and not with the blood of beasts but with his own blood--blood that purges the conscience from dead works to serve the living God--
Hebrews 9:11 ...Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us.
9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
The Lord Jesus Christ--God manifested in the flesh--came to this earth to take away our sins. He lived a perfect life, was without sin, and died in our place so that we could live. He shed his blood to pay for our sins so that we can be saved and have everlasting life. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world (ref. John 1:29). He shed his blood on the cross to take away our sin. WE ALL DESERVE HELL AND THE LAKE OF FIRE, NOT ONE OF US IS GOOD--
Romans 3:10-17
Romans 3:10 As it is written, THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE:
Romans 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Romans 3:12 They are ALL gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; THERE IS NONE THAT DOETH GOOD, NO, NOT ONE.
Romans 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Romans 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Romans 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Romans 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
Romans 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:

Titus 1:15
+ It caused them to stumble because they are weak.

Bottom line: does your conscience prick you against it? If it does, then don't.
Me? No. The earth is the Lord's and all it's fullness, the world and they that dwell therein. God himself is the head of all principalities and powers.

SirHouloo:
1 cor 8 vs 4
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. 9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
in addition to what has been said above i would also quote the book of Romans 14 v14,15,17,20,22 nd 23.The apostle paul said in 14.I know and am persuaded by the lord jesus,that there is nothing unclean of itself:but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean,to him it is unclean.15.But if there brother be grieved with thy meat,now walkest thou not charitably.Destory not him wt thy meat for whom christ died.17.For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink;but righteousnes,and peace and joy in the HolyGhost.20.For meat destroy not the workof God.All things indeed are pure,but it is evil for that man who eateth with ofence.22.Has thou faith?have it to thyself before God.Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.23.And he that doubteth is damed if he eat,because he eateth not of faith:for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.It therefore follows that it depend on the level of ones faith to declare a thing clean or unclean,if you don't have enough faith to believe that salah is there is nothing unclean in eating sallah meat,then I would advice to stay cLear of eating it.

I never intended to get into any argument with muslims as we can never achieve anything by doing that.
My post was meant for Christians.
Because someone closes his eyes and says, the sun doesn't exist does not mean it does not exist.
So open your mind and let the scales covering your eyes fall off.
Have a great day.


maclatunji:


LOL.

Abraham means anything to you? I guess not. You see when we tell you that Muslims are the true followers of all the Prophets (AS), you say no. Then you go and start castigating these holy people one by one.

Reality is different from boasts. We Muslims live it and honour all prophets from Adam to Muhammad (AS). Sacrifice of Jesus (AS)?

I laugh in Chinese because if you know the number of people that have taken a bullet for other people after what you believe to be his crucifixion, you would know that you are lying to yourselves.

Then again, you would argue that he is part of a trinity which just makes me laugh real hard.

God is not in the business of having children, wake-up. Divinity cannot be shared because by its very nature, it has to be absolute and incontestable. With your concept of trinity, you devalue divinity as inflation devalues money.

Before I can answer this question, I need someone to answer this question first. What is the significance of the 'Ileya' they are celebrating? Cos I really don't get, It was Isaac that Abraham almost sacrificed that God provided a ram to sacrifice instead, and not Ishmael. So why the celebration at the first place. If it was Ishmael, the celebration can still be justified

( coz that would mean firstborns will b roasted for ileya festival) If NO, y do it bcoz its a ram ! 2. Did Abraham even eat the ram after offering the sacrifice ??
I wonder oooo. Pls tell them ooooh. They need to know the truth.....What a beautiful comment. If anything is called sacrifice I expect it to be sacrificed and not to be eaten

michaelwestern:
Am more confused now. i need scriptural reference.

1 Cor. 8 vs 4 - 10 quoted above enjoin a strong believer not to eat food from an idol in the presence of a fledgling believer so as not to make him derail. This means derailing him into eating such food means misleading him to err. Verses 11 & 12, a continuation of the quoted passage read -"11 - And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died ? 12 - But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ". Elders in the faith are open to lots of temptations but they must constraint themselves through self-discipline so as not to lead the flock astray.
1 Cor. 10 vs 27 & 28 read - "If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go: whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake; for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof:".
Now, the, ram slaughtered in the Haj is offered unto idols as sacrifice and the pilgrims and Saudis themselves do not eat them. After the sacrifice, they throw them away for processing and export to unwary needy countries. By the foregoing, i do not think that muslims who eat such meat because they do not make the sacrifice in S. Arabia are doing the right thing not to talk of giving it out to neighbours.

ileya meat is different from any meat slaughter by muslims. It's a sacrifice. As a born again child of God, eating of the meat will pollute your spirit. Even if you have to eat because of hunger, sanctify it well.
