How much do I love my brother?
Enough that I won’t allow my liberty to become a source of stumbling to him?
Enough that I won’t allow my knowledge to cause him to perish (Romans 8:11)?
Enough that I won’t knowingly wound his weak conscience (Romans 8:12)?
Enough that I won’t make him to offend (Romans 8:13)?
Do I love my brother that much?
Theoretically, yes.
In practice, I don’t know.
I know this — I want to love my brother as much as I profess to love Christ.
“But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak” (1 Corinthians 8:9).
So I will be careful.
ouch! But excellent one to tatoo on my forehead…hum….maybe tatoo on the inside of mt eye lids.
