Re: Discrepancy in Church Practice
Don, you don’t understand Romans 14. Paul isn’t saying to tolerate false doctrine.
I’ve explained this in previous posts. Paul is telling the stronger mature brethren not to destroy the already weak faith of the new converts. Paul had already established his thoughts on meat offered to idols that it was demon worship. That the table of Christ cannot be mixed with demon worship. The weaker brethren’s remedy for this is just not to ever eat meat again. But only become holy vegetarians. Paul wants to educate the weaker saints, but not by destroying them. He also brings up the point if you are bid to go to the butchers, eat what is set before you. Yet, don’t ask questions wether or not the meat was offered to idols. Just eat it, but if someone brings it up that the meat was indeed offered to an idol push back the plate. Not for you, but for those who may get the wrong idea about you. Paul is trying to teach wisdom concerning the neophytes in the first century. I see that Pastor Doe saw you as an extremist? I can’t imagine why he had that idea? :lol |
