alchresearch Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Bona fide question, how does your personal Christian faith accept it then? http://barnabasfund.org/UK/Act/Campaign/Operation-Nehemiah/Campaign-updates/Should-Christians-eat-halal-meat.html?p=1 But like all faiths its how man interprets the material which matters (and ultimately leads to wars and such!) For example: 1 Corinthians 8 – 10 In this major section the apostle Paul addresses a disagreement among the Corinthian Christians over the eating of food that has been offered to idols. Some of them believe that such eating in itself amounts to the worship of other gods. Others say that such gods do not exist, and so they think they are free even to attend feasts held in idol-temples. Paul affirms that idols are nothing, and that food that has been offered to them has no special significance as a result. The earth and its fullness are the Lord’s, which means that all food originates with Him; nothing is unclean in itself. But Paul also says that there are certain contexts where food that has been offered to idols should not be eaten. Joining in a feast in an idol’s temple is unacceptable, because the offerings made to the idols at such meals are in effect made to demons, which lie behind the idols; to eat the food in that setting is to become partners with the demons. I would never consider the Islamic faith to be "demonic". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example: I would never consider the Islamic faith to be "demonic". Then it could be said that the Christian Faith is far more accepting but that's for another thread. Thank you for that.
