8 Bible Verses about Food Offered To Idols

Now, concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we know because we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone thinks that he has known anything, not yet did he know it as he ought to know it; but, if anyone loves God, the same has been known by Him:read more.
concerning, therefore, the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One. For, even if there are things called gods, whether in heaven, or on earth (as there are gods many, and lords many); yet to 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 we through Him. But this knowledge is not in all; but some, by familiarity with the idol even until now, eat it as an idol-sacrifice; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. But food will not commend us to God; neither, if we eat not, are we lacking; nor, if we eat, do we abound. But take heed, lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak. For, if anyone sees you, who have knowledge, reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat the idol-sacrifices? For he that is weak??he brother for whom Christ died??erishes by reason of your knowledge. And thus, sinning against the brethren, and smiting their conscience which is weak, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will in no wise eat flesh forevermore; that I cause not my brother to stumble.

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I am speaking as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ?read more.
because we, the many, are one bread, one body; for we all partake of the one bread. Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar? What, then, do I say? that an idol-sacrifice is anything? or that an idol is anything? Nay, but I say that the things which the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not wish you to become partakers with the demons. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He? All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful, but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own, but each another's good. Whatsoever is sold in the market eat, asking no question because of conscience; for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. If one of the unbelieving invites you to a feast, and ye wish to go, whatsoever is set before you eat, asking no question because of conscience. But, if anyone says to you, "This is the remains of an idol-sacrifice." eat it not, for his sake that showed it, and because of conscience: conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God, Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews or Greeks, or to the assembly of God: even as I also, in all things, please all men: not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

but that we write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from anything strangled, and from blood;

that ye abstain from idol-sacrifices, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well."

But concerning the gentiles who have believed, we sent to them, having given judgment, that they should keep themselves from idol-sacrifices, and from blood, and from anything strangled, and from fornication."

Neither become ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it has been written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

But I have a few things against you, because you have there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit fornication.

But I have it against you, that you suffer the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess; and she teaches and seduces My servants to commit fornication, and to eat idol-sacrifices.
