Worshiping or giving honor to stars, planets, or any created thing is also "idolatrous.” It is idolatrous for someone to want something more than they want to honor God. In both the Old Testament and the New Testament, God commands people not to worship idols (see: Exodus 20:3-4; Ephesians 5:5; Colossians 3:5; 1 John 5:21). However, the Israelites often worshiped idols. For example, the Israelites made an idol made of gold in the shape of a calf. They worshiped the idol while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments from God (see: Exodus 32).

Therefore, a Christian should not eat meat if it causes another Christian to sin. For, if a Christian thinks it is a sin to eat meat sacrificed to idols, but eats the meat anyway, that Christian has sinned (see: Romans 14; 1 Corinthians 8:7, 9-13; 10:23-24, 28-33). Christians should be more concerned with living at peace with other Christians than with eating certain foods (see: Romans 14:17-21).
