Is that for me to eat

[other one]

I'm 55, and in my lifetime I have never saw anything offered to an idol. What has this scripture to do with today's world?

 

The food must come from a supplier that uses halal practices. Specifically, the slaughter must be performed by a Muslim, who must precede the slaughter by invoking the name of Allah, most commonly by saying "Bismillah" ("In the name of God") and then three times "Allahu akbar" (God is the greatest). Then, the animal must be slaughtered with a sharp knife by cutting the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck, causing the animal’s death without cutting the spinal cord. Lastly, the blood from the veins must be drained.

I personally believe that these animals are sacrificed to Allah, and I personally don't eat halal food.

Well if this has anything to do with the muslims, I for sure don't want anything to do with it.

Ditto Other One! Tho' there are some who ridicule me, I'll not eat it either.

Two years ago I was in Saudi Arabia on a business trip for my company. Eight of us were there for ten days, and we were served some very strange stuff. It was the first time in my life (and the last!) I ever ate camel.

[Sevenseas]

So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

[Tristen]

Christians relate to God under a different covenant than the Covenant between God and the nation of Israel (i.e. the Mosaic Law). Christians are therefore not obligated to the precepts contained within that covenant (including those pertaining to diet). Christians relate to God under a new and "better" covenant (see Hebrews chapter 8).

does the law of clean and unclean meats apply for Christians today why or why not ?

 

No, they do not apply to Christians.   Those commandments were given to the nation of Israel.  They were never repeated as a commandment to the Church.   They are relevant to us for the purpose of theological insight/lessons, but they are not given as commandment for us to observe in the New Testament economy.

 

When were they first given to Israel ? thanks 

 

Deut. 16 and Lev. 11

What verse in the new says we are not to practice this anymore ? 

[Guest shiloh357]

What verse in the new says we are not to practice this anymore ? 

 

There is no verse prohibiting it.  If you want to practice those dietary laws, it is your right to do so.   But there is no commandment under the New Testament economy requiring believers in Jesus to follow those dietary guidelines.

 

The dietary laws were given to the nation of Israel. They were not intended for all people, for all time.
