If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience- I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else’s conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks? – 1 Corinthians 10:27‭-‬30

This kind of reminds me of one time while I was reading the bible somewhere someone said, “do not give what is holy to animals.” I think when you are with an unbeliever at a dinner table, just say thanks for the food offered. But if the person says eat it as a sacrifice, then just ignore it. Eat what you want and don’t listen to the person.

Thanksgiving 

I feel like Thanksgiving is one of days when many of this type of situations would take place. I just like to be thankful to everyone regardless of if they are a believer or not. It is just the way I feel like I should be.

What is conscience?

  • An inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one’s behavior.

That is the definition Google gave as I googled it.

What is disposed? 

  • inclined or willing.
  • having a specified attitude to or toward.

Google gave me two definitions for disposed.

Lesson of the day: 

If you’re at a table and someone says to you eat this as it’s offered in sacrifice, then don’t eat it. I kind of don’t like food being offered in sacrifice because I feel like the animal is sacrificed to begin with. Why should I eat a sacrificed animal?
