The day of Judgment of man has already taken place, what lies ahead is a second judgment of those who do not accept the first. This means those who have not clothed themselves in Christ as their new birth into their first innocence and this of GOD's doing. For this we shall look at mans "conscience" from our original identity restored or renewed, re-birthed, re-genesised by way of a death and this accomplished for all humanity in the humanity (human flesh) of Christ Jesus, an approved in the resurrect. A wise man said that as long as a person hangs onto the knowledge of good and evil only, that person tries to bring their self imposed shame and guilt upon an other person and in this way they both suffer. This is done when a person focuses on their slavery to sin as their only heritage, and not focusing instead on their freedom acquired in Christ's resurrection, a freedom (liberating them) that is theirs gift now.
Romans 14:1-4 "Him that is weak in the faith receive (G4355) ye, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." (KJV)
Romans 14:1-4 "As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome (G4355) him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand." (ESV)
Romans 14:1-4 "[1, G4355]Welcome those who are young in their faith with a warm hospitality. Avoid controversial conversation. ([1, G4355 from G4314 strengthened from G4253 and G2983] proslambano, to take somebody as one's companion.) One may feel free to eat anything, while another believes one should only eat vegetables. By having faith to eat anything does not qualify you to judge the one who abstains; GOD doesn't treat the vegetarian any differently. You are in no position to criticize the hospitality of GOD; He invites both to the same table and He is well capable to uphold and establish someone who still stumbles and seems weak in faith." (The Mirror)
Romans 14:5-9 "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 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. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living." (KJV)
Romans 14:5-9 "One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living." (ESV)
Romans 14:5-9 "One person may see more religious importance in some days while another values every day the same. Let everyone come to the full conclusion of what the day means in their own understanding. Whoever esteems the specific importance of a certain day does so to the LORD, so does he who values every day equally. One eats while another abstains; both honor GOD in gratitude. No one can live or die in isolation; our life and death touch others. Neither can our life or death distance us from Him; we remain His property. The death Jesus died and his resurrection and the conclusion of his life now in us is the only relevance of life and death." (The Mirror)
In our next visit we shall, the LORD willing, cover the next two sections of this chapter, though the beginning of 15 is part of the end of 14.
