1 Corinthians 8:1 King James Version (KJV)
8 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
1 Corinthians 8:1 Wycliffe Bible (WYC)
8 But of these things that be sacrificed to idols, we know, for all we have knowing. But knowing bloweth, charity edifieth [Soothly science, or knowing, in-bloweth with pride, charity edifieth].
Wycliffe Bible (WYC) 2001 by Terence P. Noble
These are my thoughts.
We should act in love with using our knowledge and not use knowledge without love.

2 But if any man guesseth [Forsooth if any man guess, or deem], that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known how it behooveth him to know.

We cant truly claim anything because it is all the Lord’s.

Some one obviously doesn't know, or understands anything about the new creation. But again the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them for they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14-15 (KJV)
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.Better yet read the chapter in entirety.

We can only love God by receiving Christ and by Christ God knows us personally, He can have a fellowship with us that we need.

This world makes gods and serves many things but only the Lord is worth serving and gives life.

1 Corinthians 8:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
1 Corinthians 8:7 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
7 But not everyone has this knowledge. Moreover, some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat food which has been sacrificed to them, they think of it as really affected by the idol; and their consciences, being weak, are thus defiled.

These are my thoughts.
Some people are weaker because of their past knowledge, we should not be a stumbling block to these.

We should try to live in a way where we uplift each other and avoid things that could weaken other believers.

1 Corinthians 8:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
1 Corinthians 8:8 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
8 Now food will not improve our relationship with God — we will be neither poorer if we abstain nor richer if we eat.

Food is always physical. While fasting can draw us closer to God, he is saying eating is meant to physical and not a spiritual act.

1 Corinthians 8:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
1 Corinthians 8:9 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
9 However watch out that your mastery of the situation does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

We should not let our freedom in Christ cause those who that are burdened down by rules to slip away or be confused.

1 Corinthians 8:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
1 Corinthians 8:10 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
10 For if others see you, who possess knowledge, eating in the temple of an idol, might they not, since their conscience is weak, be encouraged to the point of eating food sacrificed to idols?

We should be encouragements to other believers rather then be someone who makes them weak.

Lets not let what we know cause us to bring others down but let it be used to bring them to the cross.
