Rom 14:1 Him
that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Rom 14:2 For
one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth
herbs.
Rom 14:3 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.
Weak in the faith,
we can still be received, as long as it's not to bring doubt and disputations.
If our faith is weak we need reaffirmation, not disputing, not doubt.
We aren't to despise
one another for the variances in our beliefs. The moral law is our standard,
accepting Christ as our Lord and Savior, this is our faith, our belief. Jesus
came to preach the gospel of salvation through HIM, and this is our hope.
People will often
nitpick their religion, making statements of belief down to the clothing, the
food, the associations we have and so much more. Yet God's word, while giving
us varying ideas, the ultimate truth is loving God, loving each other,
believing on the Son of God, the only declared begotten of the Father. I'm not saying there aren't other standards,
other points made, other encouragements, other orders. We are given a lot of
instructions by the various writers inspired by the Holy Spirit. We are also
told the above-
The following-
The following-
Rom 14:1 Him
that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Rom 14:2 For
one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth
herbs.
Rom 14:3 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.
One believes he may
eat all things.
Another believes he can eat only herbs.
Another believes he can eat only herbs.
Neither is right,
neither is wrong-- God received them both.
We have to remember
this as well-
Luk 6:37 Judge
not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven
And this-
Mat 7:3 And
why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not
the beam that is in thine own eye?
Mat 7:4 Or how
wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and,
behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Mat 7:5 Thou
hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou
see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
We are too quick to
judge and to look at others faults and not our own. We need to love as God and
Jesus Christ our Savior command us to love, all through the Holy Spirit.
