Comparative Religions 101 Guidelines
Welcome to Comp Religions, this is where the sights and sounds of the many world religions come together in a big World's Fair type atmosphere, without those delicious funnel cakes.
World Religions is a theist only type place, but that does not exclude certain religionists who practice non-theistic faiths ala Buddhism. If you are not sure, ask a moderator.
This is not a place where we argue the existence / non-existence of God.
And as usual, the forum rules apply.

Otherwise, I don't see how to avoid a contradiction with Revelation.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by KingsGambit View Post1 Corinthians 8:8 seems to tentatively endorse eating meat sacrificed to idol if no weaker Christian would stumble whereas a surface reading of Revelation 2:20 seems to forbid it outright. This has been one I've wondered about for most of my Christian walk as I assume there is some context lost in translation.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
