THANK YOU FATHER.
The Bible teaches that one man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
So one man is no better than the next man.
The man who eats everything must not look down on the man who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him.
Who are you to judge someone else's servant?
To his own master he stands or falls.
And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
One man considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord.
He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
So preaching a guilt message of routines and rituals doesn't work when you understand what this is saying.
Why is that?
Because none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone.
If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord.
So, whether we live or die we belong to the Lord.
Belonging to no man we belong to the Lord.
For this reason, Christ died and returned to life so that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Christ died and Christ lives and we live in Him.
You then who question why your actions and false doctrines are exposed, why do you look down on the next man?
How can you in all righteousness believe that your sin is less than the next man's sin.
Sin is sin and no one has paid the cost for it except Jesus.
We will all stand before God.
As surely as I live says the Lord,
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD.
Each man will give an account of himself to God.
This is what God has said, That understanding this make up your mind to not put a stumbling block or obstacle in your brothers way.
Don't put out things that cause men to withdraw from God's forgiveness.
The Apostle is teaching that because he was fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself, but if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love.
If what you put out into the world is not accurate, if it's racist, if it's malicious, if it's slanderous, if it's covered with envy, greed and covetousness if you are standing out in front of people with signs that say "God Hates Gays"...
If you publish or say things that belittle the belief of those who trust in the cross, if you make stupid remarks that say that the trauma of living in the bondage of slavery, not even being considered a citizen but chattle and watching your mother be raped and watching your daughters be raped and abused and having your father sold away from your family is better than life today for a black child...
If you support those who openly use pulpits to preach messages against the federal government, Islam, and gay people, twisting and omitting our history, your message
has already allowed the goodness of God to be spoken evil of.
The kingdom of God is not a matter of ritual eating and drinking, it is not a matter of ritual routines, it is not a matter get wealth and succeed at any cost on the backs of those who don't fall in line claiming this to be the fullness of God's glory, The fullness of God's glory is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Righteous, who is righteous?
Nobody is, except it be for Jesus Christ.
Many believe that I should not speak, you believe that I should deny how people have taken the Lord's Name and are using it in vain for gain and not for peace, edification and bringing forgiveness to the world.
I cannot stand idle.
Righteousness, Peace and Joy is not wrapped up in fame and money.
I know that's hard for some people to understand, but those things are simply avenues to do great things and if we don't use them as such, they will dry up.
Study these words in Holy Scripture.
You don't have any science or historical records to prove your theory.
Research these records and understand them.
Romans 3:7-31
Romans 4:1-8
NIV version may be easier to understand.
Pray every day.
LOVE Y'ALL :)
