If you read Romans 14 you will see that not only did Paul not condemn the person who by faith believed he should not eat meat but Paul was willing not to flaunt his liberty (that he could eat meat) in the face of the person who felt it was wrong to eat meat.
In contrast Paul in 1 Timothy condemns those folks who teach and COMMAND believers not to eat meat. Why Paul's change in heart? Because it is one thing to live in harmony with another believer who has a personal conviction and another to have that conviction imposed upon someone who doesn't feel the same conviction of the Spirit. |
YES...YES....YES
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
