Christian Ethics
Pt. 3 "True Tolerance"
Romans 15:1-2
Patience (v.1)
Pleasing (v.2)
1 Cor. 10:24 Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. 14:3 the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.
Phil. 2:3-4 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Same idea.
1 Jo. 4:11,20-21 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. .. 20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot[a] love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
1 Cor. 9:22; 10:33 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some… 10:33 just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.
1 Cor.10:27-32 27 If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience— 29 I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else's |
