1 Corinthians 8

1 - 13 Food Offered to Idols

My notes say that Paul is talking here about an issue that the Corinthian congregations is struggling with: is it okay to eat meat that was left over by pagan sacrificial rituals. Acts 15.29 comes out against it - Paul doesn't really say. Paul basically says that the food isn't the root cause of sin against other Christians, but since it may be a factor, he's more or less against it. (13: Therefore, if food is a cause of their falling, I will never eat meat, so that I may not cause one of them to fall.) I take this to mean a Christian must live by example.
