1 Corinthian 8:7-13
But such knowledge is not in everyone. Some, still idol-conscious, eat idol offerings as such, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. Now food does not commend us to God. For neither shall we suffer any loss if we do not eat, nor if we do eat shall we have any advantage. Still, take care perhaps this right of yours become a stumbling block to the weak. For if a man sees one who "has knowledge" reclining at table in an idol place, will not his conscience, weak as it is, be emboldened to eat idol offerings? And through thy "knowledge" the weak one shall perish, the brother for whom Christ died. Now when you sin thus against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food scandalizes my brother, I will eat flesh [food] no more forever, lest I scandalize my brother.
... he was not saying to be vegetarians ha ha ha. Some people nowadays are such dummies it's unbelievable. I wonder if some people who were idol-conscious and had "knowledge" in his day were getting their medicinal marijuana and eating only soy based products...
