1 Corinthians10:18
18 Behold Israel after the flesh : are not they which eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar? .
Israel after the flesh, was the whole seed of Iacob, the whole Body of the Jewish Church; for Believers only were Israelites after the Spirit, Rom. 9.6. called the Israel of God, Gal. 6.16.
If in the Jewish Church any persons ate of the flesh of Sacrifices offered upon Gods Altar, did they not by that act manifest, that they were Members of the Jewish Church, and owned that God, to whom those Sacrifices were offered, and that way of Worship by which God was so worshipped. By the same reason these Corinthians eating of the flesh of those Beasts in the Idols Temple, which had been offered unto Idols, did by that act declare their owning of the Idol, and that idolatrous Worship which had been there performed, and were really partakers of the idolatrous Altar.
