Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
Resuming 1 Corinthians 10:7; 1 Corinthians 8:9-10.
Flee. Do not tamper with it by doubtful acts, as eating idol meats on the plea of Christian liberty. Our safety is in wholly shunning whatever borders on idolatry (2 Corinthians 6:16-17). The Holy Spirit presciently warns the Church against the idolatry, subsequently transferred from the idol feast to the Lord's supper, in the figment of transubstantiation. The Lord's supper is here proved to be not a sacrifice, but the feast after the sacrifice: the "bread" remains so after consecration (1 Corinthians 10:17; 1 Corinthians 11:2-6).
