Why Christians MUST NOT eat kebab

[Romeo Rovagnati]

Kebab and all Halal food shall not be eaten by the People of God. They are not made for them but for the god of Arabian Mythology. Halal food is made by sacrificing animals to him.

The Word of God is very clear about eating food sacrificed foods (yes, I'm quoting the King James' Bible just because this forum forces you to do so):
(1 Corinthians 8)
Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Father Rovagnati. Certainly the kabob is either Muslim or Hindu, not sure which. and not American. Landover Baptist has always advocated eating highly processed foods that come from our Godly food manufacturers. Tyson pork and chicken, for example, were not sacrificed before they hit the slaughterhouse.

Food belongs on a plate and cooking mystery meats over a fire penetrated with a stick is a common middle eastern horror food. The Moon cults "food" is trypically made from random bits of anything they can find and seasoned with dirt and christian ashes. I can understand grilling a nice steak like Jesus would, but using the garbage parts of roadkill to make a phallus and inserting it orally to savor the meaty texture is not the Godly way.

Kebab and all Halal food [made] for the god of Arabian Mythology.

Just to clarify, what constitutes Arabia? Does it include Egypt?

Galatians 4:24-25 Which things [Abraham's sons' mothers] are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

Okay, kebabs are sus, (as the young people say), but what about little weeners on a tooth pick? And surely corn dogs are Jesus-approved.

[MitzaLizalor]

Food belongs on a plate

First of all the plate needs to be invented. Bark troughs, banana leaves, flat rocks, do they really count as plates? A trough of spider kebabs is not the same as as roast lamb on a plate, although to the Malay they probably look similar.



This is typical from the kebab fraternity. But just because someone shows them a plate and their delicacy is served on one, for me that does not make it edible. ‘‘Glazed scorpion kebab?’’ ‘‘Not today thank you.’’ ‘‘I can put one on a plate![looks eager]’’



Travel may have some benefits but the cuisine is rarely an improvement. Scotland, perhaps, on a good day – but they do not serve scorpions.

This is the kind of food that they eat in reality shows such as Pechin Express.

Godly men eat meat. I'd rather eat any of these "delicacies" - even the corn dog - than give Big Vegetable any of my money. Meat meat meat.

Scorpions are "meat" I suppose, a sort of miniature lobster? They will even smoke scorpion venom but I doubt it's a fragrance pleasing to The Lord and presumably it sends you insane. The expression "running amok" springs to mind. I cannot recommend dog. Once, somewhere foreign, we went to a real, authentic, honestly (we'd been advised against it and everything) meal. A vaguely daffodil shaped piece of meat smothered in peppercorns with something like ratatouille on the side, utterly unidentifiable, almost certainly dog. Or weasel. Who knows? After a few days I recovered but anywhere Vegan pastel goreng yang renyah exists as a "main" [RIGHT] is better avoided and I haven't been there since.

I do not watch reality shows. Although once, visiting somewhere with a television, there was an excited "vibe" due to one being about to start. We sat there for a while, after an hour or so I thought it must have been cancelled: No – that was the show and its grand finale moreover! I'd rather eat boiled rubber v.s., more or less back on topic I think, thank you for bringing it up.

There are different kebab styles: Turkish, Lebanese, Albanian, together with so-called TAJIN from Morocco comprising fruit (such as dates) meat (lamb, camel, goat) definitely no dog but even so, would these be a suitable alternative for an exotic themed evening? Nuts are sometimes included.

Since today commemorates the victory of the Mexican over the French, may I suggest a good alternative to kebab?

[MitzaLizalor]

a good alternative to kebab?

What in earth is that? Just because something is NOT kebab doesn't mean it's a substitute FOR kebab, which I'm not eating in the first place.

You know, foreign food does not exist in a vacuum. Christians are free to eat anything, of course, as was explained in Acts 10:11-15. Peter had been called to visit Cornelius, clearly a foreigner, where unusual foods may well have been served.

Acts 10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band

God made sure he understood that it was OK to eat whatever was served. In that case, culture was flowing from Peter to the centurion. When eating foreign food, however, these days it comes immersed in its alien culture. Gabbling and genuflecting, playing intriguing music, weird clothing, every hallmark of the 3rd world quagmire the moved to get away from is present. And central in many such cultures is the food itself.

Christians are called to witness to those cultures, which does NOT mean wearing kaftans or gyrating around the table in your diaphanous Nauvari while others are trying to eat. In that case, according to God, the culture is flowing in the wrong direction and the first wrong step was the food.

Our True Christian^TM brother, Gov. Greg Abbot in Texas, is on our team preventing Muslims from moving into our space. In Texas, a group of them wanted to rent a public park for their own convention. No doubt there would be kebobs. They said women would be required to wear those ugly burkas and men wear their Muslim whatever. This in a Christian country and in the Godly Republican Trump State of Texas? Not on Governor Abbot's watch. He put the financial hammer down. Keep them out. Gov. Abbot understands our laws against discrimination. It is white Christians yes, everyone else no.

I'm not opposed to cover your own head, as long it is the Mantilla or an Habit.

The title of this thread was cut off. It said Why Christians MUST NOT eat ke...... I thought ke...could mean? Ketamine. It is a very dangerous drug, do not eat. It is used as horse tranquilizer, and here in Quebec, we love our horse meat. Why, even in the Bible, I believe horse meat is appreciated. Ezekiel 23:20 - And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses.

A bit out of context, mon Dieu, but we must check our meat for ketamine so we don't get addicted.

[MitzaLizalor]

No doubt there would be kebobs.

Camel is more likely than horse, even so, foreign foods just like foreign clothes or foreign music I've found best to avoid. And have you heard the music? I had to attend a small private event a few years ago: everyone was very excited. ‘‘Oh,’’ they said to one another. ‘‘He must have had a good year to get her,’’ "her" being a celebrated singer. She glided through the little throng, very self-assured I thought, up onto the stage risers, a twang from an unidentifiable instrument, a flurry of rattling drums, then she started up. Imagine a parrot trodden on by an ostrich receiving an electric shock – and loud! It went on for ever, song after song (if they were in fact different songs) and sure, if that's what you like, that's what you like. Now I had to be there but, if I hadn't, if I'd gone voluntarily, if someone not called according to grace II Timothy 1:9 had seen me go in and been exposed to alien influences as a result, what then? Foreign food, alien goddesses, apocalyptic idols and hypnotic chants could have very negative effects. Not my idea. God's idea, written down so that we'd know not only what to avoid but why to avoid it.

I Corinthians 8:9-11 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; and through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

So I don't go voluntarily to those places. Eventually she stopped singing. But this was inside a private commercial building, an end-of-year treat for the employees. In the linked piece I read:

. . . to adhere to a dress code and other rules, including "respectful behavior such as maintaining personal space and lowering the gaze."

THAT, however, is in a PUBLIC space I gather, where one may dress as one wishes (regardless of good taste or what I think or even furries, according to the law of the land) and why indeed should I be told how many degrees from the horizontal my head should be angled or how many fathoms I should maintain between me and some nutter sounding off about aliens? There are standards I follow, sure, and they may differ from secular standards by a lot in many cases. God's standard is consistent and it applies in any Christian home. Parrot stranglers and ostrich electrocuters probably have standards too and may require them to be followed in the ostrich home. If I don't like I don't have to go there. And I certainly don't need to be told not to look at someone dressed in what I find a confronting style because if I was in a public space, dressed in a bat fur suit say, being looked at would be par for the course.

So I don't.
