Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.
The important points i have learned from the words of God discussed in the Zoom meeting
- Abominable food for a true Christians.
- Types of sins.
A. Sins unto death
B. Sins which are not unto death. - We should worship only God the creator and not creatures.
- Meaning of idols and sins against the Holy Spirit.
My former beliefs or expectation that was improved for listening at the Zoom meeting
- We used to worship statues of Mary, angels etc of we were not aware that, they are all idol,creatures or manmade object.
- We used to eat blood of animals and food offered idols
These are some of the examples of sins unto death. - When you speak against the holy spirit.
- Fornication
- When you eat food offered to God or the blood of animals.
Ezekiel 4:14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
Acts 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.
Meaning of idols in the bible.
Psalms 115:4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Psalms 115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
Psalms 115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
Psalms 115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
Psalms 115:8 They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them.
Why should men not to eat food offered to gods.
- Our body is a temple of God.
- Blood is holy thing for an atonement of soul.
- We are the spouse of Jesus Christ.
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.
Only before God that we should kneel down and worship night and day. It is abominable to kneel and worship before idols.
1Peter 4:3 For the time past of [our] life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
*How the study affect us that can make us a better person that we can use in our daily lives
man character created by the living God.
- When we stay out from eaten the blood of animals we shall live a healthy life and it will us to get closer to the living God.
Acts 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.
