- Paul is telling us not to judge one another nor to hinder their walk with Christ
- even though something may be "unclean" it may actually be clean, its all dependent on what the person thinks(foods referring back to the old covenant)
- Paul tells the strong that if something seems "unclean" the should refrain from it to help keep the faith of a "weaker" brother and sister
- Gods kingdom does not center around what we eat or drink, but instead it centers around righteousness, peace, and joy.
- whoever acts in way that helps the weak is acceptable to God and among other people
- Dont stumble other brothers by what you eat
- It is good to not stumble fellow brothers and sister by what we eat or drink.
- Paul tells the strong that its okay to eat anything because of their faith, but if what they eat should stumble other brothers then they should refrain from it
- what ever does not come from faith is sin
I:
- Those who are strong in faith should not do anything that may hinder those whose faiths are weaker
- the kingdom of God isnt about logistics, but its centered around righteousness, peace, and joy
- If we show love to those who are week, it pleases God
- If we are not sure whether something is right or wrong we should see it as wrong
- anything we do apart from faith, is sin
A:
- when there are people who have a "weaker" faith I should cautious with what I say and do
- even though I know in my heart that its ok, I should put myself in the position where those who are "weaker" will fall.(be a good role model)
- If have doubts that something is right or wrong, I should take cation and view it as wrong
