We are not honest about what we are really saying.
* First the meat is different.
* Romans 14-15 the meat is non-kosher meant
* The second main difference is the weaker brother. He is offended at the freedom of the stronger believer. But in the 1 Corinthians passage, the weaker brother is not offended but is caused to offend.
* In Romans, he is the "upset brother," but in 1 Corinthians he is a "stumbling brother."
* To cause one to sin, it would be better to have a mill stone around the neck and thrown into the sea.
* Love is more important that wisdom
Liberty Examples
* Let's consider My choice of Music
* If someone was offended at me, I must ask "why"
* What are their Biblical reason?
* After they show me their reason, I should be prepared to show them my reasons
* If my brother is "cause to offend," then I will never listen to that music in front of him again.
* Thus, if my brother is "caused to offend," then I should differ to him. But if my brother is "offended," then I can prefer him but can also agree to disagree on the issue
Principle 2: The Principle of thee Promotion 9:1-23
* What can we learn from what we just read? Thought?
* We must be willing to sacrifice personal rights in order to promote the gospel. We must keep the gospel in mind
