" That is if the use of our Christian liberty puts temptation in another's way, we are then to restrain ourselves and think of our brother's good. Now turn to I. Corinthians. There the question was a different one. It was caused not by Jewish law but by heathen customs. Animals were offered in sacrifice to the false gods. He who offered the sacrifice, of course, worshipped these gods, but part of the act of worship was sometimes to eat some of the meat of the sacrifice. He who ate of the meat o...f a sacrifice ate that which belonged to the god, he was fed by the god to whom he had sacrificed, and derived life and power from him. This was the idea. But the whole of the meat was not consumed at the time of sacrifice. Parts of the animals which had been sacrificed were sold in the shambles, were sold at the butchers' shops to anyone who would pay the price asked. Christians might buy this meat, this meat which came from some animal that had been offered as a sacrifice. What was to be done about such meat?
