I was thinking also of
Galatians 2:11-14. Paul rebukes Peter because of Peter's "holier than thou" attitude. In the case of
Galatians 2 (Peter not eating with the Gentiles in Antioch because some Jewish brethren were present) is Paul actually saying - "wave the meat under their noses."
Eat with the Gentiles even though your Jewish brothers are offended by it.
Can't we then say,
Preach on TV even if some of your brethren are offended by it?
Wear modest and comfortable clothing even though your brothers are offended by your shins?
