C. Soundness in <strong>the</strong> faith <strong>and</strong> Christian liberty are not<br />
contradictory.<br />
1. Regrettably <strong>the</strong> body of Christ has been grievously injured<br />
by confusions in our thinking in regard to soundness in <strong>the</strong><br />
faith <strong>and</strong> Christian liberty.<br />
2. <strong>The</strong> “weak brethren” in this chapter are identified as<br />
extremely strict, narrow minded with overly sensitive<br />
consciences.<br />
II. Christians are to deal with one ano<strong>the</strong>r on <strong>the</strong> basis of love knowing<br />
Christ died for all of us!<br />
Commentary:<br />
<strong>Romans</strong> <strong>14</strong>:1, Him that is weak in <strong>the</strong> faith receive ye, but not to<br />
doubtful disputations.<br />
I. <strong>The</strong> weak Christian, one weak in <strong>the</strong> faith, is to be received into<br />
fellowship.<br />
A. However, this bro<strong>the</strong>r is not to be placed in a decision making<br />
position in <strong>the</strong> church which position would allow him to bind<br />
his weaknesses on o<strong>the</strong>r Christians.<br />
B. Coffman asserts, “Christ has received all Christians, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
least <strong>the</strong>y can do is to receive each o<strong>the</strong>r. He (<strong>the</strong> weak<br />
bro<strong>the</strong>r)should be accepted <strong>and</strong> loved, scruples <strong>and</strong> all!”<br />
<strong>Romans</strong> <strong>14</strong>:2, For one believeth that he may eat all things: ano<strong>the</strong>r,<br />
who is weak, eateth herbs.<br />
I. <strong>The</strong> weak man in this case insisted that all should be vegetarians.<br />
