Besides for the fact that avodah zara is an aveira, are there any restrictions that come about from a Jew who has this status? To narrow it down, let's say he keeps everything else in the Torah except for this one sin (and any other aveiras that are violated as a result of it). For example, can you eat food made by him?

@Deuteronomy it kind of begs the question, would this case be of one that is an irreligious Jew? He keeps all of the other mitzvos including Shabbos.– SeekerCommented Jul 17 at 17:38

What do you mean by "worship"? And what's "everything else" that he keeps"?– Al BerkoCommented Jul 17 at 18:29

1It is forbidden to give him to eat from the Korean Pesach (Rambam H. Korban Pesach 9:7); it is forbidden to eat from his Shecitah (H. Shechitah 4:14); it is forbidden to accept a sacrifice from him (H. Ma'asei Hakorbanot 3:4)– User123Commented Jul 17 at 18:55

@AlBerko My understanding of avoda zara is serving false gods or idols. Obviously it is highly unlikely that someone who does so would keep all of the other mitzvos in the Torah, but when the yezter hara for it still existed, perhaps it wasn't so unlikely. When i say "everything else" I mean that he keeps all of the other mitzvos of the Torah (Shabbos, tzitzis, bris milah, kosher, etc...)– SeekerCommented Jul 17 at 19:18
