Romans 14:14

14I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus athat nothing is unclean in itself, bbut it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.

1 Corinthians 8:4-8

4Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that c“an idol has no real existence,” and that d“there is no God but one.” 5For although there may be eso-called gods in heaven or on earthas indeed there are manygodsand manylords”— 6yet ffor us there is one God, the Father, gfrom whom are all things and for whom we exist, and hone Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and ithrough whom we exist.

7However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, jthrough former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and ktheir conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 lFood will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.
