To the Romans 14
Don't cause weak believers to stumble by arguing other doctrines
- However, do not admit the one being weak in the belief [the saving Testimony] into disputes of reasoning [about doctrines]. 2. For [example], one believes to eat all things, but another, being weak, eats herbs. 3. Let the one eating not treat the one that does not eat with contempt; and let the one not eating not judge the one that eats, for Yâ-hwéh has accepted him. 4. Who are you to be judging Another's household servant? For his own Sovereign he stands or falls! And he shall be made to stand, for Yâ-hwéh is able to make him stand! 5. For example, one will decree a day besides a [Shabbâ ́th] day, yet another will decree every day [to be Shabbâ ́th]! Let each man fully carry it out within his own self's mind. 6. The one minding the [Shabbâ ́th] day, minds it before Yâ-hwéh, and the one not minding the [Shabbâ ́th] day, does not mind it before Yâ-hwéh. He that eats all things eats before Yâ-hwéh for he gives thanks to the Power, but he that does not eat all things before Yâ-hwéh doesn't eat it yet he gives thanks to the Power. [See 1 Timótheos 4:1-5] 7. For not one of us lives for his own self, and no one dies for his own self. 8. For whether we should live, we should live for Yâ-hwéh, whether we should die, we die for Yâ-hwéh – So therefore whether we live or whether we die, we belong to Yâ-hwéh! 9. Because for this the Anointed both died, and rose and lived again, in order that He might be Yâ-hwéh ["He causes to be/exist" (64)] for both the dead and the living!
Why not to judge and disparage the weak
- So you [the non-eater], why do you judge your brother? Or you also, why do you [the eater] treat your brother with contempt? For we all shall stand at the Judgment Seat of the Anointed One! (65) 11. For it has been written, "[Turn to Me and be delivered, all of the ends of the Land, for I am the Power, and there is no other!] By Myself I have sworn," Says Yâ-hwéh, "[A word has issued from My righteous mouth and it will not be retracted:] As every knee unto Me shall bow, every tongue shall swear:" (to Yâ-hwéh) ["'Only by Yâ-hwéh, do I have,' each says, 'right things and strength!' His witnesses shall enter, but all the ones infuriated against Him shall be ashamed."] [Yshá'Yâhuw 45:22-24] 12. Wherefore each of us shall give a statement concerning his self unto Yâ-hwéh.
All food is clean (by thanksgiving) unless you doubt it
- Therefore, no longer should we judge one another; instead, decide ye rather this: to not place an obstacle or a snare before your brother. 14. I understand and am persuaded by Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa` that nothing is unclean of itself, except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that one alone it is unclean. 15. But if your brother is aggravated with you due to meat, you no longer are walking about by affectionate love. Do not destroy with your meat him for whom the Anointed died! 16. Let not your goodness be reviled, therefore, 17. For the Kingdom of Yâ-hwéh is not about eating and drinking, rather righteousness and peace and happiness within the spirit of the Pure One! 18. For he that bondserves the Anointed by these things is well-pleasing to the Power and is approved by the sons of the dirt-man (’âthâ ́m). 19. So then we should pursue the things of peace, and the things for building up one another! 20. Do not, for the sake of meat, depart from the work of Yâ-hwéh. All things indeed are clean [1 Timótheos 4:3-5]; however, to the son of the dirt-man (’âthâ ́m) who eats it due to tripping, it is evil. 21. It is virtuous to neither eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor whatever our brother strikes against, or is caused to lose trust by, being weak. 22. Do you have a belief? Adhere to it yourself in Yâ-hwéh's sight. Happy is the one not judging himself in what he does approve. 23. But he that doubts, should he eat, has been condemned, because it is not done from believing; and everything that is not done from believing is error.
(64) This statement doesn't make sense unless you understand the meaning of His name.
(65) In its context, this is a clear statement that the Anointed One is Yâ-hwéh in Person.
