Chapter 14 deserves it's own post, all on it's own; and, I've written about it many times before.
• Who are we to judge the servant of another? We shouldn't.
• There really isn't anything wrong with making days holy or saying they are not.
• Nothing is unclean in and of itself.
• Don't cause your brother/sister to fall; don't do what they think is unholy around them.
• If you think it's wrong, don't do it.
All these things are wrong. But, don't judge; because, you do it too. You pass judgement on yourself when you judge others.
Being that I am a grafted in olive branch, I take Paul's warning to not be boastful seriously. Also, I am comforted that Israel will be easier grafted in when it is saved.
If the gentiles, who did not know the law, followed it because it was written on their heart, are they lost. I'm thinking not. After all, Jesus descended to the dead.
Pars mei putat me propter superbiam meam puniri. Sed nolo in illum locum obscurum in gyrum prolabi.
