Is it sinful to eat halal beef or chicken?

[MusicMan]

I believe that true devout Muslims in general are very kind, humble, generous, and peaceful and to be honest, I do not see anything in the Bible that forbid the eating of beef or chicken that is halal, kosher, etc since it is the same.

"Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience," - 1 Cor 10:25 NIV

No, I do not believe it is sinful to eat such food in light of what Paul said.

Since the biblical canon was completed several centuries before Islam developed, it contains no references to Islam, halal, or any associated terms.

Do your homework and find out the standards and procedures in which halal meats are prepared. That’s where the concern is.

Christian’s don’t have any dietary restrictions, but halal and kosher are more ideological rather than about food. I can see how knowingly eating halal or kosher food could violate a Christian’s conscience, making them a partaken of and enabler of practices contrary to the teachings of Christ.

according to Christianity there are no unclean foods

“And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭7:18-19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

By faith any food is clean if we receive it with thanks but if we’re convinced it’s not clean and eat it we have sinned

“I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:14-15, 17, 20-21, 23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

if I believe pork isn’t clean and the. I eat it I’ve sinned if I understand good had nothing to do with being clean or unclean I’m free to eat anything and give thanks

if I’m staying with someone who thinks eating pork is a sin I’m better to not eat it if it’s going to offend them .

there is no unclean food in Christ

 

[Lucy-Pevensie]

Each to his own conscience 1 Cor 10:27-30

For myself, I consider it sin. I feel strongly that eating something sacrificed to that hateful false god is wrong for me.
How "nice" or not, Muslms are is irrelevant. In the Western world for over 1000 years we haven't had to confront
this issue but eating food sacrificed to idols is wrong. I don't believe it should be even be legal in a Christian nation.

Acts 15:
" 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements:

29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things."

 

[Lucy-Pevensie]

For Halal slaughter, the last thing the animal must hear while it's throat is cut is the invocation dedicating it
to the false god Allah. Then it slowly bleeds to death. It is a sacrifice ritual.

Below is the invocation

بِسْمِ اللهِ واللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ ولَكَ اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي

Bismillaahi wallaahu ‘Akbar [Allaahumma minka wa laka] Allaahumma taqabbal minnee.

“With the Name of Allah, Allah is the Most Great! [O Allah, from You and to You.] O Allah, accept it from me.”

 

[Blik]

The Muslims believe in a God that was created by a man many years after the true God was known in the world. There was spite and war in this created God from the beginning, and Christians have no part in any of it.

There are atheist who are kind, humble, generous, and peaceful and to be honest, We know that belonging to the true God is a matter of faith in Christ, the behavior of a Christian is from Christ within not on their own will.

You not going to eat that sacrificed animal...can I have it?

 

[Lucy-Pevensie]

Eid al-adha sacrifice to the false god.

 

[Oblio]

I bet you could get the dead cows for cheap. Though I wouldn't eat a false god.
