Things offered unto idols  Buying and eating things sacrificed to inanimate things. Liberty  freedom from control, interference, obligation, restriction, hampering conditions, etc. Stumbling Block  an obstacle or hindrance to progress, belief, or understanding.

Exhortation Regarding The Limits Of Christian Liberty 1Cor 8:9 Ps 115: 2-8. Level of spiritual maturity differs. Desist from actions that could defile the conscience of “weak/ignorant” believers. Love that edifies does not seek her own. Search The Scriptures

How can strong believers help the weak brethren?  By willingly avoid anything that will not edify other brethren at ALL times.  By being conscious of others with less spiritual maturity.  By nourishing them with the word of God on regular basis. Search The Scriptures  Guiding principle should be “WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?”  1 Cor 6:12, 8:13 Liberty is not license to mislead

Caution On Sinning Against The Body Of Christ  Brotherly consideration is very important in refraining and abstaining from certain actions.  Christian should be spiritually sensitive to avoid negative effects.  Lord cautions against offending little believers.  Severe judgement prescribed in Mark 9:42.  Be CHRIST-LIKE in conduct and character. Search The Scriptures

What areas of life should we edify the body of Christ in exemplary lifestyle and conduct? Christian marriages. Naming ceremonies. Dressings. Graduation ceremonies. Worship services/programs. Burial rites. Search The Scriptures

Conclusion  Exercise your LIBERTY with caution and prudence, lest you become a stumbling block on the way to heaven.  God is watching in secret and open Search The Scriptures
