Rm14:2One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. ..... 4...To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. 8If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. - NIV
Rm14:12So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. ..... 17For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. 19Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall. 22So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. - NIV
Rm2:1You, therefore, have no excuse, you who
pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you
are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2Now
we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3So
when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you
think you will escape God's judgment? 4Or do you show contempt for
the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's
kindness leads you toward repentance? - NIV
