Romans Chapter 14

Hi Jennie!

This chapter is super loaded, kind of like a gun and I feel like I'm gonna hurt myself or someone else. I'll try to stick to the truth of the text by making lists

- vs. 1-9:
The person who eats meat (and is a believer):
- accept the weak in faith
- don't pass judgement on the weak in faith's opinions
- has faith that they can eat all things
- God has accepted him
- servants of God
- the Lord is able to make him stand

The person who eats only vegetables (and is a believer):
- weak in faith (yikes, the gun goes boom)
- not to judge the one who does eat meat
- servants of God
- the Lord is able to make him stand

The person who regards one day above another (and is a believer):
- must be fully convinced in his own mind
- observe it for the Lord
- live and die for the Lord
- belongs to the Lord

The person who regards every day alike (and is a believer):
- must be fully convinced in his own mind
- do so for the Lord
- live and die for the Lord
- belongs to the Lord

- vs. 10-23:
All believers:
- do not judge your brother
- we all stand before the judgement seat of God
- will give an account of ourselves to God
- don't put an obstacle or stumbling block in a brother's way
- if someone thinks something to be unclean, to him/her it is unclean
- do not hurt one another
- pursue the things which make for peace
- build one another up
- have your own conviction before God
- doesn't condemn himself in what he approves =Happy
- eats not from faith and doubts = condemned, sin
