Romans 14

1) We return to theme of judging others. Where are you most judgmental?
2) Paul is now self-identifying with the strong-those who have moved past strictures about food and even sacred days.Apparently, he no longer harbors even doubts about this position.
3) This then buttresses his position that his camp cannot judge the so-called weak, as he is arguing against his own position.
4) Where in church disputes have you seen mutual edification as the ethical standard?
5) Paul says that we cannot get in the way of those with "weaker" faith when their position conflicts with our own. Indeed we bend over backward to accommodate them.
6) The study guide says that this is a plea for tolerance. isn;t it more? If a dispute is getting in the way of the weak, we should permit their viewpoint without interference, no? How would this influence our work at resolving disputes on doctrine and practice in the church now?
