Do people seriously use that comment in such a way?!? That’s a new one on me. Such small thinking. Can’t get their minds past the flesh. Paul was talking about things in a totally different realm.

Good word brother. Yes it’s true, we can flaunt our liberty (or even our virtue) in such a way that makes others stumble. This ties in with bearing each other’s burdens. If a particular person has a burden that they just can’t tolerate a certain thing, I need to bear that burden when I’m around them. Liberty need not be idolized as a means to itself. Forfeiting our liberty for respect of the brethren is an honorable thing to do. Timothy was willing to be circumcised when it wasn’t necessary to avoid hurt feelings. We need to provoke each other to goodness and love, not provoke each other to make a mistake.

Believe me, they do! I thought my conclusions would be considered controversial because they go against what I have been hearing others say. I was looking up a verse in the Bible as a result of one of our games, and the Lord revealed things to me I hadn't noticed before in that passage, and I felt like that is what He wanted me to share this week.

There was a time where I wouldn't have believed that anyone would teach that people can rape and murder and go to heaven without repenting, but that is what some are teaching. The very same people are teaching that all things are lawful. Yes, literally all things! Some of those people are probably reading these comments and shocked that people don't see it like that. We truly are living in the time of the apostate church, and they think they are the ones in the truth.

...We need to provoke each other to goodness and love, not provoke each other to make a mistake. “...whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin,
it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck,
and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” - Matthew 18:6

If the little judges wont fall for it , I ASSURE IS THE ONLY TRUE JUDGE WILL NOT EITHER . Remember when JESUS said , many will seek to enter in and on that day will not be able . One of the end time massive signs was that while many would be doing good works like giving food and money and etc THEY WOULD STILL be honoring SIN . FOR JESUS says , MANY said , BUT LORD did we not DO , did we not cast out , did we not do many wonderful works in your name and What does HE SAY . I NEVER KNEW YOU , YOU WHO WORKED INQUITY . GOD did not send the SON , so that we could live in bondage unto sin and use grace as means to make truth void and use liberty as an occasion to serve the flesh . Just as pual said , ONLY USE NOT LIBERTY as an occasion to serve the FLESH . That's right Cletus . WE TRULY are in the last of days . And how simple it is to , BY GRACE , see that many now use liberty ,as a means to live in sin serving the flesh . But many have forgotten something . And that is this . One simple thing . A babe by grace can see . And what is this simple thing . GOD IS NOT MOCKED what a man sows to HE SHALL INDEED REAP .
