CUT YOUR BROTHER SOME SLACK *** STOP BEING A BULLY
There are too many nit picking, busybodies who poke their nose where it should not be, claiming to represent Me. The sin issue is more than enough for you to deal with, without heaping all your personal beliefs on your brothers and sisters. Make sure you, "welcome everyone that is weak in the faith, without arguing and pushing your personal beliefs on them . [2] For one believeth that he may eat all things: and another, who is weak, is a vegetarian. [3] Let not him that eats meat put down him that eats vegetables; and let not him which eats vegetables heap condemnation on him or make fun of him that eats meat: for God hath received them both.
[5] One man may hold one day more important than another: and his brother esteemeth every day alike, so what! Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. [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 you lives to himself, you all have the same basic needs, and no man dieth to himself, you all go back to dust. [8] For whether you live, you live unto the Lord; and whether you die, you die unto the Lord: whether you live therefore, or die, you are the Mine.
Don't call things sin, that are not sin! [9] For to this end I both died, and rose, and revived, that I might be Lord both of the dead and living. [10] Why do you insist on judging your brother? And why do you put down your brother? What he does is none of your business. You will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. [11] As I live, and as Lord of all, I say, "every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God that I am lord"! [12] So then every one of you shall give account of yourself to God. [13] Do not, under any circumstances judge one another any longer: but instead you need to judge, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in your brother's way.
[14] I am trying to persuaded you to understand, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but if someone believes something is unclean, to him it becomes unclean. [15] But if your brother be stumbled with you doing something he believes is wrong, show love and don't do it, in his presence just to spite him. I died for him too so don't destroy his faith with your being an insensitive, religious bully. [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 serves Me is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
[19] Just make sure that you follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. [20] Just because you understand there's no sin in some things, that others may still believe to be sin, do not destroy the work of God, in their lives, by your selfish arrogance. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for you to do something that offends someone. [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] Have you got faith and freedom to enjoy, these non sin issues? Then keep it to yourself and enjoy it before Me. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he allows, before Me. [23] But he that doubteth is damned if does something he feels is wrong, because he is being disobedient to his own faith: he is believing that I have forbidden him to do it and if he does it anyway it is not of faith and it is sin". Romans 14:1-23 (KJV)
