DON'T BE DESTROYED...

[kardiaoangelous]

Acts 16:3 "Him [Timothy] would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek."

Timothy's mother was a Jew and Paul knew there would be latent animosity toward Timothy because of her marriage to a Greek man. By getting Timothy circumcised they would at least hesitate to hold that against Timothy.

 

[kardiaoangelous]

Yes, and I believe Paul goes on to say if we 'push' pork on the weaker brother, then we are sinning. In other words we are not to ram rod our freedom down a weaker brother's conscience.

Yes, though he just referred to it as meat, that is what he meant.

 

[ANIOHEVTORAH]

Yes, and I believe Paul goes on to say if we 'push' pork on the weaker brother, then we are sinning. In other words we are not to ram rod our freedom down a weaker brother's conscience.

You're right. We show and direct what scripture says, but never ramrod, ramrodding bad.
