Hard Verses Episode 17: Abstain from Meats, Acts 15:29 Welcome to the Hard Verses podcast. Episode 17: Abstain from Meats, Acts 15:29 Hard verses is a podcast not afraid to take on the harder verses in the Bible.  Each week we find difficult verses in God’s word. The Problem. Act 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. Are we to abstain from eating meats offered to idols? Other verses would indicate that a strong Christian can eat meats offered to idols. Why the change? 1Co 10:19  What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 1Co 10:25  Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: 1Co 10:26  For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof. 1Co 10:27  If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. 1Co 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: 1Co 10:29  Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience? 1Co 10:30  For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 1Co 10:31  Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.   Are Christians still not supposed to eat blood or things strangled?   The Solution. Act 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. This would be indicative of what was instructed to the Gentiles minus all the junk that the Jews were trying to put in there. The idol meat. The meats offered to idols would have been the remaining meat from the sacrifice of the pagan priests.  The meat would go either back to the worshipper and to the priest to sell at the market (Barclay 1976, 116). Barclay would go on to say that “No Christian must risk pollution by eating such meat for it had been offered to an idol” (ibid). The strangled and the blood. The Jews would have looked at animals strangled and not drained properly of blood as unclean.  God had said life is in the blood (Lev 17:11).  Barclay would go on to indicate that this act would make it possible for Jew and Gentile to be able to come together The law of eating blood predates the law of Moses.   Gen 9:3  Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. Gen 9:4  But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. Gen 9:5  And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.   And is also shown to be inspired instruction for the church. Act 15:28  For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; Act 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.   It is understood that this would make things better between Jew and Gentile, since blood and idol feast offerings would be something of an abomination to a Jew. What about those verses that say that is nothing to it? 1Co 10:19  What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 1Co 10:25  Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: 1Co 10:26  For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof. 1Co 10:27  If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. 1Co 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: 1Co 10:29  Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience? 1Co 10:30  For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 1Co 10:31  Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.   It seems that the market place, one would not know if it had been offered to idols or not. Also if you were invited to a house, there would be no way to know if it had been idol food.  …

  1. The answer is further explained by Paul in 1 Corinthians chapter 10. A lot of people stop at chapter 8 but we must remember this is a letter from Paul which did not have chapter and verse numbering but if you read all of it you will get a clear view of what Paul is saying. Paul says in 1 Cor 10 : 14 – 22…..table of demons…..why because Corinth was a pagan demon worshipping community with idols everywhere, they would drink blood, engage in sexual deviancy, and host celebrations at the temples where this food was served to worship their god/s.

  2. Aren't almost all brand labels/fast food chains potentially offered to idols, since they are satanic? McDonald's/Monster=M or 13th letter, which is both masonic and 666 via the Babylonian system and illuminati math(Thirteen 6's -Ten 6's=Three 6's. Plus, Monster drinks are arrogant about the Hebrew slashes). Subway=S or the 19th letter(Nineteen 6's-Sixteen 6's=Three 6's). Burger King=13! Kraft/Kellogg's(11 is masonic and 666 both). Domino's/Doritos(begins with letter "d", which could be devil; also, Doritos doesn't hide the diagonal triangle). Pizza Hut([16-8=8] could be code for baphomet). Nabisco([4+1=5] is the number letters in devil or satan). Applebee's(if you turn an A upside down you will see a goat head).

    Barnhill's/Bryan's/Banquet/Brookshire(baphomet or beelzebub). Chucky Cheese's/Coca-Cola(33 or masonic. ADDING EM UP GIVES 35 AND 135, WHICH IS 666, EITHER WAY). Ryan's(r is the 18th letter of the alphabet, 6×3 or Three 6's). Chick-Fil-A(3×6×1=18!). Famous Amos(5 or 7: satan or lucifer and 666). Church's(Three 6's). Popeye's(5 or 7 BY satan, lucifer, or 666). KFC(11-3=8 AND 6; together they form Three interlocked 6's just look at the fidget spinner or the nkjv bible. 666.). Aunt Jemima(11, see above). Cheetos(Three 6's). Frito Lay's(18!).
    Pepsi(satan or lucifer; plus, their symbol and name reversed and upside down is America is ded). RC(21 is odd in total alphanumeric value, so it's 666. ALSO, 18×3=54: 54-36=18). 7-Up(44 is masonic and 8 is baphomet). Dr. Pepper(11 or masonic and 666. IF YOU COUNT UP EVERY LETTER, THEN YOU GET 98. SEE KFC ABOVE.). Taco Bell(22 is masonic. 18 is 666.). Hungry Jack(18!). Krispy Kreme(11×11=121 or 666). Girl Scouts(19×7=133 or 666; 8 AND 9, ALSO). Disney(bears a 666 in it's cursive logo). Lays(57 or 666 or lucifer). DG(4+7=11! DG in combination could also mean "devil" is "god"). Great Value(29 or 666). Gatorade(7 for lucifer or 666, but the G and lightning bolt could be calling him god as masons do). Powerade(satan or lucifer).

    Rolo/Reese's(18 and Rollo is also 666 in digit form). Old Folks(66 is masonic). Hershey's(8!) Jimmy Dean(6, 14, or 40: 6 is one of the most popular occult numbers; 14 can written as two sevens; and 40 is a multiple of 10[illuminati]). Little Debbie(Little devil or digit adding gives you 5 or 7 for devil or lucifer). Hillshire Farms(8 AND 6!). Tyson Foods(8 is baphomet; plus, they have used the spirals all over their packaging and maybe still do, which means 666). Golden Flake(6×7=42: 42-24=18 or 6×3. Also, 13 is masonic). That's how they roll! Note: not all of the odds are 666, only the ones where the whole alphanumeric number for each letter were tabulated and it came out to be odd!

  3. Should we stay away from pop/ country/ rock/stars hosting a feastible in their honor with all kinds of food in their honor? I know these type of people can become idols to the world, and show up to their showings and praise them. I was thinking of this and wondered.

  4. The idol of the Hebrews is coin, gold and silver, their religion is based on how to get it away from the subjects into the pockets of the religious leaders. Peter pointed out gold and silver does to remove sin,it is the tradition of ancestors that were deceived into believing it is truth. Jesus was sent to remove belief in Abrahams' kill people religion into the truth of the true God. There is a true God but Abraham does not worship him.
    Corinthians is written by a man that was blinded by the light of Jesus and said he found Jesus in the desert. Get a map, the road to Damascus is the desert. What did Jesus say about people that say they find him in the desert? Not to believe them. Jesus is the light which is the Holy words of God=truth and no one is ever blinded by the light of Jesus unless they refuse to believe what Jesus says is true. Jesus is the teacher of Gods Holy Word and teachers give tests.
    Do you listen to Jesus or a man that had no one to verify one single word he said happened in the desert? A witness is only a witness if they give an account of what happened. We only have the word of a Pharisee on a mission to kill disciples of Jesus.
    Jesus called Pharisees liars and he did not say except Paul. Why would the Bible state Paul is found in the house of Judas, the false Apostle that claimed to love Jesus but actually sold him as an animal to be slaughtered if Paul is not also a false Apostle that wants the death of Jesus for a financial reward? Paul formed his own inferior churches and received tithes for teaching guile, lies and deceit. Paul robbed the true church because he led people away from Apostle Peter an dht eohter reatl Apostles inot his own inferior religion. The people that did not have a firm background of the gospel of Jesus were misled by Pauls guile and it is to their own destruction.
    Jesus never gave Paul sight because Paul never stopped giving honour to the man Jesus called the father of the lie and the Devil. Abraham formed the Jewish religion based on lies so he as a king could rule as a God by killing people and saying God commands it. Paul is also in the Bible to prove freedom of speech is a God given right so Jesus should never have been killed for blasphemy. What is more blasphemous than calling God a weak fool. God has no weakness and only fools have foolishness. People are to compare what everyone says to what Jesus taught to see if they are telling the truth or not. Paul taught inequality of gender and race. Jesus taught the exact opposite. Jesus commanded all nations to be water baptized for sin and told his followers to baptize. Paul said Jesus did not select him to baptize ,well that is true because Paul is not a disciple of Jesus and refuses to do what Jesus commands. Paul claims to be water baptized himself but makes it invalid by saying blood on the cross, death of Jesus, removes sin. Paul formed a 3rd religion, not Jewish, not the religion Jesus formed with John the Baptist and the true Apostles. Pauls' religion is separate with its own beliefs so Pauls church is called inferior. Realize the truth is never inferior. Paul blended the OT with some of the NT and destroyed the true religion of Jesus because people follow a man that says Abraham is the father of us all when Jesus said call no man father except God. Abraham is not God although Paul treats him as if he thinks Abraham is.
    Paul teaches single people love God more than married people because Paul is single. Paul acts like he really does not like women or children very much and ignores the command of God in Genesis chapter 1 to have children. Apostle Peter was married when Jesus selected him to be an Apostle. Jesus did not select a lying, single Pharisee to be an Apostle. Paul called himself an Apostle of Jesus but he is not. The blood of Jesus is his new testament doctrine of water baptism, believe that or perish. Water came out of the wound of Jesus when he was pierced to help people understand water baptism is the blood of Jesus. Just like bread= his flesh= his doctrine.
    Jesus was murdered, God refused to be present to listen to his loving son ask for his killers to be forgiven because they are ignorant. There are unforgivable sins and killling Jesus to receive a personal reward is one of them. The death of Jesus did not remove sin, it created human sacrificing killers that have a need for a physician, a psychiatrist because human sacrifice to a God is mental illness. They need water baptism repentance for being complicit in the murder of an innocent man to receive a personal reward. An innocent man dying so a guilty one is set free is never justice it is supreme injustice. Only the Devil and his followers wanted the Son of God to die. God did not send Jesus to earth to teach truth so he could be murdered for teaching truth. No true disciple of Jesus wanted Jesus to die for any reason, not one , because they understood the gospel of Jesus. No son of Abraham saves and Jesus is not a son of Abraham, he is the son of God. Most people that say they follow Jesus do not even understand the basics of what is good and what is evil, because they are blinded by the blind leading them into the pit.

  5. As a christian, clearly you should not eat a rare steak that has blood, you should abstain from blood. ACTS 15:20 "But we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood." ACTS 20:29 " 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."
