Its not only about Jews refraining from eating foods sacrificed to idols, The Apostles in Acts 15 instructed Gentile believers from eating it as well. The practice was condemned in Revelation to as well.
The context of eating food offered to idols matter. If it is not done as a form of worship then it is not sin. For example, if u buy food that has been halal and just bless it and eat it, it is not sin but if u go a religious celebration where the food is a form of worship to an idol then it is sin
@@inzemaanmirza8961 That's a caveat that's missing from Acts 15: 20&29 and 21:25 AND Rev2: 14&29. That's SIX direct warnings against consuming the food offerings itself in the New Testament alone. Their edict reinforces the warning in Exodus 34: 15. Revelation 9: 20 also establishes a difference from consumption and worship. The doctrine is still that which God Himself says came from Balaam. Balaam was also a hireling, like Paul, who was charged with doing Gods people harm. They were also both stopped in their efforts after divine intervention. Then both stumbled Gods Chosen by that doctrine
@@inzemaanmirza8961 To answer that question, I am going to ask a similar one that also illustrates the dilemma here. Does this mean we can also ignore the direct edict from God and His personally taught Disciples? Or do we allow ourselves to give room for a doctrine that Is said to originate from balaam?

Does that mean that we ignore all the directives that says we can eat food offered to idols?

The directives from Jesus and Paul does not contradict they are applicable for different circumstances
