Fellowship in the Gospel

Dear friends, We come at last to what appears to be the end of the discussion, which started in chapter 8 of 1 Corinthians on food offered to idols. Here, with the background of thinking about the existence of idols in chapter 8, the priority of other people’s salvation in chapter 9, and then the prophetic warning against all idolatry in the first half of chapter 10, we finally reach the concluding discussion on food offered to idols. Whether in the idol temple at the time of offering, buying meat already so offered, or eating the meat in somebody’s home, the question of our participation is critical. I hope you profit from this discussion on Christian freedom and responsibility. Yours, Phillip Freely available, supported by generosity. If you enjoy Two Ways News, why not lend us a hand?
