1 Corinthians: Jesus is Lord: idoltary and the Church (1 Cor 8-10)

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie continue their overview of 1 Corinthians by looking at 1 Cor 8-10. In this passage, Paul responds to some in Corinth that were claiming that since there is only one God and since other gods do not exist, it is acceptable for Christians to attend pagan banquets which we in honor of pagan gods. Paul responds by noting that the meat which was sold in the marketplace may be acceptable to buy and eat--unless it causes others to stumble--but attending pagan banquets in honor of a deity is not acceptable. Even if they have these rights, then should not use those rights because it will cause others to stumble. 

This raises the question of Christian love and what it looks like today. we willing to sacrifice our "rights" for the sake of others? 

Do we "run the race" so as to win the prize?
