1 Corinthians 8 - What to eat?
Manage episode 421319816 series 3311882
Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall. 1 Corinthians 8:13
Kent Hughes writes in his Preaching the Word commentary, "There were two parties in the Corinthian church, those representing the permissive party (progressive) and the restrictive party (conservative). These groups had different concerns. The primary concern for the progressives was personal freedom, whereas the conservatives pursued personal morality. These concerns when carried out to their extreme ends led to licentiousness for one party and legalism for the other. In our passage Paul is directly addressing the permissive party. He will address the restrictive party in passages to come."
