Universalism in the New Testament
11/12 ~ From New Testament Letters
🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)
9 - But take care that this right of yours doesn’t somehow become a stumbling block to someone else. 10 For if anyone sees you eating in an idol's temple, will he not be encouraged, even though his conscience is weak concerning it, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your freedom (because you know there are no other ‘gods’) this other one is harmed, the brother or sister for whom Christ died. 12 Thereby, trespassing against one another, wounding their conscience when it’s weak, is also against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food makes my brother or sister stumble, I will not eat meat lest I cause them to stumble. {Or drink wine.. Eat pork.. “Hast thou faith? Have it alone before God.” No wine when with your recovering alcoholic brother or sister! Or any it would offend no matter the moderation. Why be unnecessarily divisive?}
