The strange thing is I was reading 1 Cor 8 and 9 this morning/afternoon and wondered to myself: "If Paul was around today, doubtless some PB members would complain about his 'situational ethics', saying that it's okay to eat meat in some circumstances but not in others" - maybe I have a warped mind?
One question Josh: Is there any such thing as "things indifferent", surely the decision whether or not to eat meat/drink alcohol or abstain from these things is a choice between two ethically righteous decisions? It only becomes an unrighteous decision if it involves offending a weaker brother?
