I am looking for ways to grow spirituality. and I was understanding fine until we got the part of doing things eating foods and drinking alcohol in front of others because they might be tented. So I got confused because that means we have to change our lifestyle for the rest of the other people ???🤔
Be willing to restrict yourself if someone else might find it offensive (e.g. drinking alcohol). If you have studied it and dont see it as a problem, just dont do it around them. Eating certain foods are not really an issue for us in the 21st century, but they certainly were in Paul's time and culture. I would encourage you to read I Corinthians 8 (entire chapter) 9But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. 10For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating£ in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged,£ if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12Thus, sinning against your brothers£ and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 13Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
