We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

And we detest this miserable food!"

Re: our Tables – Two Fellowships – the Divine and the Demons’. 10:16-22 • The Table of Divine Fellowship: 10:16, 17 • The Cup Blessed – Communion in the Blood of Christ, the Basis for Fellowship. • The Bread Broken – Communion in the Body of Christ. • The one Bread is His Body – Communion of all members in the One Body of Christ. 12:12

  21. The Table of Divine Fellowship: 10:16, 17 • The Table of the Demons’ Fellowship.10:18-22 • The Relationship: Jewish Priests Partook of the altar sacrifices offered to God. 10:18 • The Reality: Idols were nothing, but Idolators sacrificed to demons! (cf. Deut. 32:16, 17, 21) • The Reasoning: Believers cannot take part at the Lord’s Table & the Table of demons. 10:21 • We should not Rouse or Provoke the Lord to jealousy – He is Powerful. 10:22

  22. The Table of Divine Fellowship: 10:16, 17The Table of the Demons’ Fellowship. (18-22) • The Table of Fellowship with unbelievers: 10:23-33 • The Principles:10:23, 24 • Of Personal Liberty: all things are Lawful. • Of Personal Love: all things are not Expedient or Edifying: 10:23 • The Priority: Consider the good (Edification) of others. 10:24, NIV

(25) • The Master’s Meat, the earth is the Lord’s.(26) • At a Meal, ask no questions. 10:27 Cf. Eat, for you have given thanks. 10:30 The Christian’s Conduct for Conscience Sake: Eat not, if told food has been offered to idols(28) Deny Self for the other’s Conscience sake. (28f) “But why should I Denounce my liberty?”(29f) Do it to Glorify God… (31)

  24. The Principles: 10:23, 24 The Practice: 10:25-31 • The Purpose 10:32, 33 • Do it to Give Glory to God. 10:31 • Give no offence to the Jews, the Greeks (Gentiles), the Church of God. • Paul Limits his Personal Liberty because of his Love to Profit others – That they may be saved! 10:33 cf. 9:22 • Paul’s Personal Pattern for all to follow: 11:1
