Is eating food that was previously sacrificed to idols permissible?
Understanding what Pauls says about food sacrificed to idols in 1 Corinthians, please help me reconcile this with what Christ is saying two times about the subject in Revelation 2:14; 20. Are these in reference to past sins?
1 Corinthians 2:1 - 16
NLT - 1 When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan. 2 For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.

No, it is NOT permissible based on the ruling of the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15:20, 29. This prohibition was made by believers, for believers, and has NEVER been revoked. Paul's discussion of the practice is merely useful commentary.
