I have always liked this scripture, mostly because it explains alot about how Paul witnessed, and helps one understand better why he did as he did .
All things to all men
1 cor.9: 19-23
19* Although I am not bound to anyone, I made myself the slave of all so as to win over as many as possible.
20* I became like a jew to the jews in order to win the jews. To those bound by the law I became like the one who is bound ( although in fact I am not bound by it) that I might win those bound by the law.
21* To those not subject to the law I became like one not subject to it (not that I am free from the law of God, for I am subject to the law of Christ), that I might win those not subject to the law.
22* To the weak I became a weak person with a view winning the weak. I have made myself all things to all men in order to save at least some of them.
23* In fact, I do all that I do for the sake of the gosple in the hope of having a share in its blessings.
This scripture continiues to verse 26, for those who would like to read it in entirety.
Is this scripture showing us that to witness in and through many things is good, as long as all is for the gospel, and correct in word?
But some might see such as being deceptive, although I dont see it here.
Or is it speaking to our being called to be all things, so as the hearer, will be comforted, and willingly hear the gospel ?
Thankyou for your thoughts and interpitations shared on this.
God bless
