The born again christian is not a sinner even if he does something sinful because the body of sin is yet to be destroyed. However, such indulgence is a work of the flesh which is proof that the christian is not mortifying the deeds of his flesh by the Spirit.

1Corinthians 6 12I believe that Paul is first talking about sacrifice eating of meat that was sacrifice to idols but as Christians we have free choice to what ever we can, but all things are not wise but if a thing being spiritual or carnal if it if caused problem for people and their surrendering to the Love of Christ we as Christian we should not present a stumbling blocks for our bother.
