    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,131 views

    Each judgment we make, though, says far more about us than it does about the issue under judgment. Paul brings this into clarity for the believer, as judgments were being made over the significance of eating meat that had been offered to idols. The resp

Within the body of Christ will arise issues that are deemed doctrinal by some and opinion by others. 1. Both sides believe they have the truth on the divisive subject. 2. Such was ...read more

    what we eat is irrelevant-- but how our actions affect others in the body is not irrelevant.

    In our scriptures this morning, Paul moves now to a heated Corinthian dispute over an issue of doctrine. Should Christians eat meat from animals that have been offered first to pagan deities, and can they take part in a dinner party the host dedicates to a god or goddess?
