Romans Fourteen

"Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters."
-----Romans 14:1

The challenge with understanding disputable matters is that we confuse them with moral imperatives. We tend to forget that they are disputable. This means that we can call into question an issues relevance or validity while remembering it is possible to see the issue from a different perspective, and neither perspective has to be necessarily right or wrong.

Paul writes about this in chapter 14. The importance should be in harmony and not causing another to stumble. We should take this advice to heart.

Moral imperatives are the biggies: Faith in Jesus Christ, Inerancy of God's Word, God first in all situations. Disputable matters have been and will probably always be exactly that: DISPUTABLE.

Sometimes being a friend is more important than just being right.

"Father, help me focus on the biggies and not fall into the trap that I always have to be right."
