Dealing with Liberty
No right to bulldoze
We are not honest about what we are really saying.
First the meat is different.
Romans 14-15 the meat is non-kosher meant
The second main difference is the weaker brother. He is offended at the freedom of the stronger believer. But in the 1 Corinthians passage, the weaker brother is not offended but is caused to offend.
In Romans, he is the "upset brother," but in 1 Corinthians he is a "stumbling brother."
To cause one to sin, it would be better to have a mill stone around the neck and thrown into the sea.
Love is more important that wisdom
Liberty Examples
Let's consider My choice of Music
If someone was offended at me, I must ask "why"
What are their Biblical reason?
After they show me their reason, I should be prepared to show them my reasons
If my brother is "cause to offend," then I will never listen to that music in front of him again.
Thus, if my brother is "caused to offend," then I should differ to him. But if my brother is "offended," then I can prefer him but can also agree to disagree on the issue
Principle 2: The Principle of thee Promotion 9:1-23
What can we learn from what we just read? Thought?
We must be willing to sacrifice personal rights in order to promote the gospel. We must keep the gospel in mind
