1 Corinthians 8 : 4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.

We need to keep in mind that Paul is responding to questions that was ask by some of the Corinthians. Here we should see that idols are nothing to a christian. When we put idols above God we are sinning against God. It is hard to tell when food is has been offered to idols and what was not. To try to regard something as clean or unclean, which in reality there is no way, is to be regarding it as an idol. We should not try to judge that at all because an idol is nothing anyway. We must remember to that there many things in our society today that people put before God and in doing this they are making them an idol. God had shown over and over that idols are nothing as He did in Egypt when He made the Pharaoh let His people go. We need to make sure we try to put God first in everything we do every day so we do begin to worship idols.
