Romans 14:1-23 KJV
[1] Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
[2] For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
[3] Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
If a brother or sister in Christ thinks something is wrong to do but you think it is ok, then respect their opinion and don't make fun of them for it or anything like that, support them and if possible kindly show them what scripture says about the matter.
[4] Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
We are accountable to God as is everyone else, that person you are silently judging will be accountable to God not you.
[5] One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike . Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
This is talking about Jewish holidays and special feast days, some thought they should keep them others thought that since Christ's love has abolished the ceremonial law there was no need to.
[6] He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
[7] For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Remember that even though we may not agree with everything our brothers and sisters in Christ do or say, if they are true Christians they doing their best to serve God.
[8] For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
We are the Lord's and we are safe in His hands, even when we die.
[9] For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Christ has defeated death!!
[10] But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
[11] For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
[12] So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
[13] Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
[14] I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
That makes sense, some things like money and alcohol are not evil in and of themselves but some Christians believe they are and try not to have much to do with them.
[15] But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
[16] Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
[17] For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
[18] For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
[19] Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
[20] For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
If you do something with wrong intentions, it is wrong.
[21] It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
[22] Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
[23] And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Dear Lord, You alone are wonderful and mighty, thank you so much for everything You have done for us, thank you for the great time I had helping paint some of my aunt's church. Please help us to do everything we do for Your Glory and please help us not be stumbling blocks or rocks of offence to our brothers and sisters in Christ. Please let there be peace when my brother and I return home. Please bless everyone in my prayer journal, You alone know all their needs and temptations, in Jesus's name, Amen
