Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
The idea is that we are not supposed to be a stumbling block to anyone else. In all things we are supposed to help others in their journey of faith, especially those who are new to the faith. If our eating of food sacrificed to idols is going to cause someone else to question their faith then we ought not to do that. This applies to other things as well with the idea, again, being that we are to do whatever we can do help others, not hinder them, in their journey of faith. Others watch us to see how we live our lives. In some cases those who watch us will imitate us, and in imitating us they may be led astray. We need to keep that in mind as we live our lives, remembering that our brothers and sisters in Christ will sometimes look to us for direction. We need to remember not to lead them in the wrong direction through what we say and do. God bless you.
