Only because of a weak conscience.



If they had a weak conscience, sure.
So one who gives up his pagan customs has a weak conscious? Oh the poer of the christmas spirit and the length gone to misapply scripture for that magical time of year.

I think diggin4truth gave a great post regarding romans 14. see if I can find it.
