Revelation 2:14 *But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.* Revelation 2:20 *Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.* _Note Paul's epistles are written before Revelation is written. So indeed it does appear that Rev __2:14__ & __2:20__ (If not solely referring too) would indeed include a reference to Paul's teachings:_ 1 Corinthians 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 1 Corinthians 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 1 Corinthians 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 1 Corinthians 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 1 Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 1 Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 1 Corinthians 8:7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 1 Corinthians 8:8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 1 Corinthians 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1 Corinthians 8:10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 1 Corinthians 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 1 Corinthians 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1 Corinthians 8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. _Note:_ _1 Corinthians 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one (This saying of Paul seems to start a new tradition (see Mark __7:13__) that results in putting Jesus' word's (God's words) in Rev __2:14__ & __2:20__ to none effect. ( ἀκυρόω G208 invalidate: - disannul, make of none effect)_ Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. _Note:_ _1 Corinthians 8:8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. (1Cor 8:8 seduces into eating things sacrificed unto idols [Rev __2:20__])._ _1 Corinthians 8:9 ... this liberty of yours … 1 Corinthians __8:10__ ... sit at meat in the idol's temple, … (Paul calls it a liberty to sit at meat into the idol's temple) & again seduces into eating things sacrificed unto idols as referenced in Rev __2:20__)._ _1 Corinthians __8:13__ Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. (This would seemingly only apply “IF” > 1 Corinthians __8:10__ For if any man see thee ... sit at meat in the idol's temple [and is offended] then “eat no flesh."_ _1 Corinthians 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: 1 Corinthians 10:29 *Conscience, I say, not thine own,* but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?_ _(Again 1 Cor 8:9-10 Paul called it as a liberty to sit at meat in the idol's temple)._ _Paul's teachings concerning eating things sacrificed unto idol's, very much appears to be liken unto Balaam and Jezebel in Revelation __2:14__ & 20._

I was a young child, and the fact that my dad was in that meeting made me feel insecure. I am honestly just a weak brother trying to reach out for help. I feel like a lot of the church has not understood me, not have been willing to help. If anyone reads this and can help, please do. My parents divorced when I was 12, and it has been really hard. I have had development issues, and people act like I should just get over and not be in self pity. But it isn't self pity. It's a young kid who has been traumatized.

This begs the question as to why would Paul deliberately go against the teachings of Jesus, and the church leadership at the time, which was composed of the original Apostles as follows: "For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell." Acts 15:28-29 NKJV "But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality." Revelation 2:14 NKJV

Hello Bro. Mario I believe that Apostle Paul never had the final say on any issues of the scriptures. Just because his letters were canonized by the Catholic church doesn't mean that his letters are "scriptures". Apostle Paul was a teacher and a student at the same time. There are things he said from his personal perspective which may not be 100% historical or timeless truth. The subject of meat sacrificed to idols is forbidden by God. Apostle Paul cannot base any argument on "stumbling of another believer". That is irrelevant. However, he corrected himself in 1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. The Apostles totally taught against food offered to idols. That is part of the historical truth. This is because the Lord Yeshua taught them not to eat food offered to idols. Acts 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. Finally, the timeless truth is seen in Revelations Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. So, the issue is not whether you affect the conscience of another brother. The issue is that is forbidden.

So you're saying we shouldn't listen to certain parts of the bible? What's the point in reading it then? The scripture is supposed to be inspired by God. Also I read that chapter where you said paul corrected himself by saying you can't drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devil's but if you read on paul said if an unbeliever invites you to feast you can go but do not ask if the meat was sacrificed to an idol or not for conscience sake. I think what paul was trying to teach us is just to look out for the safety of others and not just ourselves all the time. To me I feel this chapter is really teaching us that you can make a sin out of anything by just thinking about it the wrong way

Thank you for this. I am torn because I love to do yoga for physical expertise and it really helps my neck pain. Some Christians think it’s witchcraft because of the origin and others do not. Been waiting to hear from God but don’t have an answer I stopped doing it because I don’t want to do anything that would be harmful to my spirit, soul or connection with God.

@darazelda43473 жыл бұрын
Each and every single Yoga "pose" represents one of Hindu's "many gods". Therefore, overall, there is what's called a Kundalini spirit attached to Yoga and its practices. You were right to "quit yoga" and are on the right spiritual path, having put yoga "aside". The "oh, come on, my yoga wouldn't cause anyone ELSE to stumble, so there's no harm in it" comes directly FROM Satan/the Kundalini spirit of yoga. Because not only COULD it cause another weak brother or sister to spiritually fall, but it could cause YOU to spiritually fall as well! Things/practices have demons attached to them! If we watch a horror movie, there's demons attached to that movie. If we listen to ungodly metal music or read books about witchcraft (i.e. Harry Potter, etc.), there's demonic spirits attached to it. And, like it or not, when you put your BODY (which the bible says is supposed to be the temple of God/temple of the Holy Spirit) into various "positions" that represent "Hindu gods", you're A) spiritually defiling your body/the "temple" of the Holy Spirit, and B) giving demons the legal "spiritual right" to "attach to your mind/heart/body/soul" and "deceive you". Hopefully that clears things up a bit. Stay AWAY from yoga, altogether! It's nothing short of demonic! Ever listen to Buddhist Monks in deep chant? Notice how they sound like FROGS? Frogs ALSO represent demonic spirits, which is why many a Satanist will try to use spells using frogs, I kid you not!

I have a scenario today, I'm planning on what food do I buy because I want to follow the clean/unclean foods. Money, food preservation and access are my issues so I tried looking at canned goods, to my surprise, most of them are marked with the Halal seal, even milk, coffee and fruit candies. I am concerned that eating those is a sin to Yahuah, our Holy Father, but also to choices that I have now for food. I've viewed some thoughts on the matter you discussed on the video and they said that idol gods are nothing and so long as you are not worshipping the idol and sacrificing the food to it then it is ok. I've researched that muslims say a prayer before slaughtering the animal but I can't see how can they continually do that in a canned goods business(e.g. sardines, corned beef) And to think coffee and milk have to be marked Halal when there's no slaughtering needed. What is your take on this? I'm still new to understanding the scriptures and I tend to question everything that it makes me look lost and blind.

I live in Pakistan and here muslims slaughter animals on one of their religious festivals in order to wash their sins like Jews did in the old times. So when ever we are offered the sacrificial meat, we always give it away and never eat it because they Bible is very clear on why Christians shouldn't eat it especially when it's done to "wash away your sins", how blasphemous would that be for Christians?
