The weak and the strong

Romans chapter 14
This chapter talks about accepting those with weak faith, though yours is strong, without judging them (lets go with 'him' for now) on 'disputable matters'. This means that it doesn't matter if he thinks that Saturday is the Sabbath, or that there shouldn't be a Sabbath at all, do not condemn him for it. It doesn't matter whether he eats meat or only vegetables, or if he drinks alcohol or not, God has accepted him. That is enough. It also says, make up your mind not to put any obstacles in his way, if he believes it is wrong to eat meat, do not eat meat in front of him. If he is distressed about what you eat or do, if you continue to parade it in front of him you are no longer acting in love. "Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food." (vs 20) I personally think that verse was written with my family in mind - we love food! "So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God." For if you eat or drink against what you believe, you are committing sin, regardless of what your brother believes. Interesting thought.
