omans 14 Part VI


What is Romans 14 About?

1. The Power of the Conscience2. Judging Improperly3. Food [that is animal flesh that is

clean according to Torah and can be eaten], and what can happen to it prior to it being eaten.


The Power of the The Power of the ConscienceConscience

v13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.



v13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

v13 Let us no longer have the habit of criticizing one another. Determine rather, that no man put an obstacle or provide an opportunity for your brother to be enticed to sin.



v14 I know, and am persuaded by Adonai Yeshua, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that thinks any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.



v15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.



v15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

v15 But if your brother be grieved by your food choice, you have stopped walking in love. Do not put him on the path to ruin with your food choices, for Christ died for him too.



v19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.



v19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

v19 Accordingly therefore, let us pursue peace and those things that edify one another.



v20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.



v20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

v20 Do not destroy the work of God with your food choices. All [food] is clean (nothing is common), but it is wrong for the strong brother to knowingly eat that which will cause a stumbling block for his brother.



v21 It is good to not do anything which would make a brother stumble.




v22 Have faith? Have it to thyself before God. Be happy that your conscience does not condemn your actions.




v22 Have faith? Have it to thyself before God. Be happy that your conscience does not condemn your actions.

v23 For if the weak in spite of his doubt eats, he stands condemned because he eats while believing he shouldn’t. And if he believes he shouldn’t, then he has sinned.



Going ahead and eating something you think is wrong to eat blunts the conscience…

so that doing what you think is wrong becomes easier next time.



1. The Power of the Conscience2. Judging Improperly


Judging Improperlyv1 For Him that is weak in the faith

receive, without passing judgment on his opinions.




v3 No judging or criticizing each other over menu selections.

v4 Who are you to judge another man’s servant?


Judging Improperlyv10 Why are you judging your

brother over opinions that Torah does not take a stand on?

v13 Let us no longer have the habit of judging one another.

1. Faith, hope, and love2. The Power of the Conscience3. Don’t Judge; Teach, Discover,

Imbue4. While it is true that Yeshua did

away with “common”, there is no error in observing it privately or as Peter and Paul did

5. Fasting is private except for 7/10.


Heart

of the Matter


Romans 14:1-6Remember the BereansActs 17:11 These were more noble

than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.


Romans 14:1-6v1 Him that is weak in the faith

receive, without passing judgment on opinions.

If Torah does not specifically speak to it, don’t argue about it, and don’t legislate about it.


Romans 14:1-6v2 For one believeth that he may

eat anything [that is food]: another, who is weak, eats herbs.

If you were raised on “common” means don’t eat it and your conscience is not enlightened on Yeshua’s finished work, that’s OK!


Romans 14:1-6v3 Let not he who can eat

anything [that is food] express contempt toward he that chooses to just eat herbs, for God has received him.

Don’t judge or criticize differing opinions that Torah does not take a specific stand on.


Romans 14:1-6v4 Who art thou that judgest

another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Judge with integrity – This was not!


Romans 14:1-6v5 One man kri,nei esteemeth one

day above another: another kri,nei esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

If you think the 5th day of the week is the best day to propose marriage, then have at it!


Romans 14:1-6v6 He that regardeth the day,

regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.


Romans 14:1-6


Romans 14:1-6If you regard the day as something

special, have at it!If you want to fast on day 2 and 5,

have at it! PhariseesIf you want to fast on day 4 and 6,

have at it! Gentile converts


Didache Title: The Lord's Teaching of the

Twelve Apostles to the NationsOpens with the Shema4:17-18 Do not in any way forsake

the commandments of the Lord; but keep what you have received, neither adding thereto nor taking away therefrom.


Didache 8:1-2Fasting and Prayer (Zech 7:3-6)But let not your fasts be with the

hypocrites, for they fast on the second and fifth day of the week.

Rather, fast on the fourth day and the Preparation (Friday).
