Even as it takes a lot of effort to maintain a physical building, it takes even more effort to maintain God's spiritual building, the temple of His Holy Spirit. We have a responsibility to ensure that our actions do not hinder or tear down God's spiritual temple. The body members should live together in complete harmony with one another as joints, tendons, and ligaments. Parts of the body should not begin to behave as an auto-immune disorder, causing offense to others. We need to strengthen the bonds between ourselves within the body of Christ, not offending the newly converted or the weak in the faith, realizing that not all that is legal is edifying. When in doubt, don't. Avoid everything that does not build the body.
