1 Corinthians 8:7-9 Food Does Not Save. 4 May 2024

1Co 8:7 However, not everybody has this knowledge.
There are some in whose consciences
false gods still play such a part that they take the food
as though it had been dedicated to a god;
then their conscience, being vulnerable, is defiled,
8 But of course food cannot make us acceptable to God;
we lose nothing by not eating it, we gain nothing by eating it.
9 Only be careful that this freedom of yours
does not in any way turn into an obstacle to trip those who are vulnerable.

Be sensitive to the thoughts of your brothers and sisters.

Conscience Not Always Accurate

Here we have a nice example where someone's conscience is more scrupulous than accurate.

Prayer

Jesus, guide me in respect for my neighbor.
