* * * HALAL Meat FOODs: What is the CHRISTIAN Position?!? . . . Jasmine Judah Adogbo (APOLOGIST) wrote: ~~~ I dont EAT Ramadan or HALAL food… it is FOOD things SACRIFICED to IDOLS.~~~ . . . Acts 21: 25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should ABSTAIN from FOOD things SACRIFICED to IDOLS, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals. . . . HOW HALAL MEAT IS PROCESSED Apart from making sure that the animal (or bird) has no blemishes and the knife is sharp, the animal is laid down facing Mecca. Then the “Bismillah-e-Allah-u-akbar”, which means, literally, “In the name of allah, allah is greater”. And thats when a sharp cut in the animals throat is made (without severing it completely) and the blood drained. . . . By STEPHEN GREEN. First published in Christian Voice October 2010 SEE: ***youtube/watch?v=uMdgIk0UKG8… (1). But I say, that the THINGS which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to DEVILS, and NOT to GOD: and I would NOT that ye should have FELLOWSHIP with DEVILS. Ye cannot drink the CUP of the LORD, and the CUP of DEVILS: ye cannot be partakers of the LORD’s table, and of the TABLE of DEVILS. (1 Corinthians 10:20 KJV) . . . For meat to be ‘HALAL’, the animal must be alive, intact and its heart beating, the slaughtering must be done in the presence of a Muslim, and a declaration, a ‘Shahada’, must be said over the meat at the point of slaughter. . . . SHAHADA (or shahadah) is an Arabic word meaning ‘a declaration’. The most commonly encountered shahada is the one said to become a Muslim: ‘There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet’, with which we profoundly disagree! The shahada said at the point of slaughter is: ‘In the name of Allah, who is the greatest’. The Halal Food Authority say the shahada must be said over each animal, so no tape recorders are allowed. Each animal must be cut individually, so no rotating blades may be used to kill poultry, which is a common practice on non-halal production lines. . . . (2). IF ANIMAL IS ELECTRO-STUNNED AND SHAHADA IS SAID, MEAT IS HALAL So far as the method of stunning is concerned, the traditional UK method of captive-bolt stunning is prohibited for halal and is falling into disuse for ovines (sheep and goats) in any case. This is because the bolt enters the animal’s brain, not only rendering it unconscious but leading to death anyway if the throat were not cut immediately. The modern method of stunning is by dipping the heads of poultry in an electrified bath and by an electric stun around the head for sheep and goats. This method has been accepted as humane by animal welfare organisations, so the issue on halal slaughtering has now become not whether it is humane as practised in Britain and New Zealand , but whether ritually-slaughtered halal meat may be passed off as non-halal in its labelling. It is more complicated in the case of cattle. Electric shock stunning is not at the moment able to stun only. Therefore no halal cattle are stunned before slaughter. It is important to note that animals slaughtered by British methods and halal approved methods are both ‘bled out’. They both die from loss of blood, and the heart keeps pumping up to the point of death. One difference is that no animal could survive captive bolt stunning, even if it were not ‘stuck’ with a knife, but an electro-stunned animal could be up and walking afterwards, if its throat had not been cut in the meantime. But the other key difference is that a Muslim slaughterman must say the Shahada at the point of slaughter. This means that every halal-slaughtered steer, sheep, goat or chicken has been dedicated – or sacrificed – to Allah, the god of the Muslims. We saw earlier that the slaughterman says ‘In the name of Allah, who is the greatest’. The word ‘Akbah’, translated ‘greatest’ can also mean ‘greater’. The differentiation between comparative and superlative is not so strong in Arabic. What Mohammed meant by this expression was that Allah (a word which means ‘the god’) was greater than all the other idols worshipped as he was growing up in Mecca . . . . (3). ALLAH IS PLAINLY AN IDOL Mohammed’s father was called Abdullah, which means ‘slave of Allah’. The worship of Allah was well-established long before Mohammed was born in 570 AD. Modern scholars identify Allah with Sin (as in Sinai), the god of the moon, a position reinforced by the crescent moon atop every mosque. All Mohammed said was that Allah alone was to be worshipped of all the idols in Mecca . Even today, Allah’s idol in Mecca is a black stone, held sacred by Muslims. Our publication Understanding Islam explains further about the origins of Islam. Christians need to understand that Allah is not just another word for ‘God’ (Allah means ‘the god’, not ‘God’) and that Allah, by denying in the Koran that he ever had a son, by denying the crucifixion of our Lord, the saving power of Jesus, and the words of Isaiah that Christ bore our sins, puts clear water between the Koran and the Bible and between himself and the God who became incarnate in his only begotten son and suffered for our sakes upon the cross. Allah is an idol, and meat dedicated to him is meat sacrificed to an idol. Sikhs understand this very well, which is why their religion expressly forbids them from eating halal meat. It also explains why they, and anyone who desires openness and honesty in food labelling, are so disturbed that halal meat is being sold surreptitiously, and is not required to be labelled as such in the United Kingdom . . . . (4). THE IDOLS HE SHALL UTTERLY ABOLISH The injunctions against idol worship are clear in the OLD Testament and the NEW Testament: (“ToRaH” Leviticus 19:4, eXo. 20:1-7, “ZaBooR” Psalm 96:5, “AnBeeYAH” IsA. 2:18, Zechariah 13:2, “InJeeL” Acts 17:29-31). https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10404371_900686119943906_5166598083133150650_n.jpg?oh=fc177fa5727ea7c08ab04cf27c7a92e0&oe=54B1847F . . . *JESUS GOD*… is GREAT !!!
