Hi im trying to find a verse in the bible about that we should never reject an offer like someone who come up to you in the street giving/selling you something but i cant find it.. have i confused this, are there any verses similar to this? Maybe my minds making up verses?
The truth is concerning someone giving or selling us something in the street we can reject that if we want, for it is our choice in that matter, for it is not a requirement that we must do.
We can buy our merchandise, or receive something for free, wherever we want, as long as it is God approved.
What if someone came up to you selling crack cocaine must we buy it, lol.
1Co 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
1Co 10:26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
1Co 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
1Co 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
But this is the only scripture that I can think of concerning what you say, but the choice is still our choice whether to buy it from them or not, or if they give it to you.
If you buy meat in the street, or a meat market, do not inquire of it whether it has been offered as a sacrifice to an idol or not, for conscience sake, because it could of been offered as a sacrifice to an idol, but if you do not inquire of it no fault to you, for the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof, and the Lord knows you have to eat, and it might be the only place to get meat to eat, so it is better to not know which then no blame goes to you if it was offered to an idol.
The same if a person bids you to a feast, and feeds you meat, do not inquire of it.
But if you buy meat, or go to a feast, and the person tells you it was offered as a sacrifice to an idol do not eat it for conscience sake, for we are not to eat meat sacrificed to idols, and for the sake of the person providing the meat to show them that God does not approve of it, and to stick up for our beliefs in the sight of the heathen.
But I do not think we have to worry about that too much today as they did back then.
