sermonette: Traditions of Men, Continued
Craig Sablich
Given 12-Jul-25; Sermon #1827s; 19 minutes
Description: (hide)
After researching and determining from God's perspective upon which meats are acceptable to eat, as opposed to determining "what is right in our own eyes" (Judges 21), we are asked to expand from distinguishing acceptable and unacceptable meats to distinguishing between clean and unclean in all areas of our life. Few individuals make decisions to see things from God's perspective, which is exclusively developed by using His holy spirit and understanding His whole plan revealed in scripture. Without the ability to make wise decisions, people, not having God's spirit, jump to alternative false perspectives such as Legalism and Gnosticism and twist scripture to justify these beliefs. We are to tolerate our brethren's food choices as long it follows God's laws, such as being a meat eater or a vegetarian. The gospel of cheap grace has dominated the American and English perspective as well as other false perspectives in the world; they change the Romans 14 scriptures to allow any meat, even outside of the bounds God set. We must always select the perspective through which God wishes us to view the Bible and not the man-made systems and interpretations.
