Smellymouth:


It Makes absolutely no sense to me.

One of the things about Christianity that really bugs me is how easy it is for hate to be taught from the pulpit....

Some churches infuse fear into their congregation in order to control them and keep them in line...

Exactly! That is dogmatism. They rarely do research about other religion. May God help them.

spice123:
your response has been the best so far (iberibe)

Dumd Bleep......you stupid as hell

ifko:
i do eat Ileya ram before justify myself witht 1cor 10 but 2month ago God specifically told me that it s not good to eat it. I think it depends on one's relationship wt God to know watz up.

Keferi......God doesn't contradict his words

ProfessorPeter:
Can you give your Christmas food to a Muslim and he eat it? A serious Muslim will eat. The food and meat they eat are offered to idol

The idol you worship ?

komododragons:
do not eat the food that is been prepare for idol.

Islam warship idol. (moon god) and this is the month the moon god will look for sacrifice which takes place at Mecca.

Go back to school lol

Samfigo1:

Bro. this is not the only way to show love, this issue is not about taking food or meat from Muslims but "Ileya" meat. I have a lot of Muslims as friends I eat and dine with them but when it comes to eating "ileya" it's a no go area.!
Mind you Abraham was also told to sacrifice Isaac, why following the trend Jesus has eradicated? Shalom!

you have too much blind hatred and bigotry in you.

Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)"

HalimaSadiya:
Go back to school lol

Even if it is offered to an idol as claimed, you can eat it.

Years back, I was involved in a rural evangelism in a village concentrated by idol worshipers. We succeeded to establish a prayer center, we call it fellowship then, amidst thick opposition and severe persecution from the rulers of the village especially the occult/ogbonis.

There's a T-junction besides our prayer center. This Ocultic will come and pur sacrifices there against us.

The persecution was so severe that no one will even sell food to us because almost every one complied with the instruction of rulers because of their powers. And we were starved that we even fast with nothing to break.
To cut the long story short, myself and 2 other brothers began to break our fast with those sacrifices.

To the extent that we even make our night prayers to be every day because we are sure that food will come. They even got to know (how? I don't know ) and threatened us the more that their gods will do this or that..... they even deliberatly put poison in some........... as some of them were struck by God and got converted when Power crushed powers........
Yet we were not hurt.
The reason why it was three of. us that was eating it was to safeguard the faith of our brethren as they were not matured enough spiritually. They were all new converts except 3 of us.

How much more a ram that was killed and was given to me as a food gift.

Am not quoting bible and it's deliberate, I want you to dicern in the spirit according to the level of your spiritual maturity.

The ram is a gift,(food gift) somebody liberally gave you.
But the sacrifices I talked about was not original for us, Infact, it was for a being to eat and get angry against us, yet we ate and it even helped our sojourn as evangelists.

Discern and judge which one you should detest

Shalom

HardMirror:

I am an atheist. What do you gain in this lie of yours?

So muslims don't eat out of the ram they share to neighbors?

You want to promote christianity with lies?

So many of them are like that. Evangelism by falsehood

HardMirror:

yea... thats what most of them do... they spread lies
and
most of them are not even sure of their religion, but they go ahead and spread it
they don't know that if their religion turns out to be false on judgment day, they will not only be punished for practicing the wrong religion, the punishment will be multiplied for spreading false
i will advise them to be on the safer side by keeping quiet, and do what they wish to and not telling ppl what they are not sure of!
because the Bible say
james 1:26
he who thinks he is religious, but doesn't mind his tongue
his religion is worthless

also
mathew 10:5-6, Jesus ordered the disciples not to go and preach anywhere, except to the lost sheep of Israel

HITTED:

I know the story of Abraham and Isaac. In the Old Testaments, other animals were used as sacrifice too. What I ask is a simple question: why is always ram? If you don't the answer, kindly ignore.

Actually, it isn't limited to Ram. Goat, camel, sheep, cow .....are included. You are asking that because majority of the one you saw is ram

It depends on the leading of the Holyspirit.

You may eat it if you are directed by the Holyghost, you may not eat it if the Holyghost is sending you a wrong signal.

THE botomline is maturity. Are you mature enough to eat the food sacrificed to idol? Watch out.

The answer to the Op question is not a direct yes or no, it depends on some factors.

Watch and pray. When you are praying, watch.

Do not pray FIRST, WATCH before you start the prayer.

God will help us. I still stand to be corrected.

God2man.

greatwhite:
It is wrong

who said so?

greatwhite:
It is wrong

show me in your holy book that say it is wrong

Bro....free to eat....we worship the same God but in a different

All this christians saying its wrong..show me wr in the bible says its wrong...

spice123:
@Op It is not only wrong but it's a bad luck to eat it. They actually cast their lots (bad luck and past sins) on the ram before killing it and so if you partake in it,........

wait do you even know why we kill ram every year ......after casting bad luck and past sin on the ram we stil eat it....man use your head....and if you dont know any abt lslam just shut up

Do any of you here why we kill ram evry year... If you dnot know any thing abt islam or muslims just shut up and mind your business

folasayolyn:
Abeg me I want meat oh

lol

99.9999% of cows slaughtered in Nigeria are slaughtered according to Isla
mic rites so eating the ram is no different they are killed the same way. According to the law of Moses it is forbidden but according to Paul in the new Testament " we are not worse off if we eat or better off if we don't" in short it makes no difference what we eat

madapcmod:


I don't eat meat sacrificed to Muslim god, sallah meat is a sacrificial meat, get the difference. Meat u chant incantation in Arabic to kill is different from d normal meats slaughtered in abbatoir

pretty much every cow killed inabbatoirs is killed the Islamic way Those selling the cows and the Oyo butchers are all Muslim
