The doctrine of meats
is in view. But listen to this: ...."and
there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made
everything and through whom we have been given life. However,
not all Christians realize this."
jt: John Vs.7 is saying that if the weaker brother sins wilfully
after coming to Christ his conscience will be defiled.
I know what it says -- i just QUOTED it to you

jt: Obviously you don't know John, because you did not
quote it to me
(actually Kevin but he is too busy being sarcastic to answer the question).
jt: Sigh! Another ad hominem John? Where do these
get us?
I do not believe that you can read this passage and not see the issue.
There are some who do not have an accurate opinion about either God
or Christ.
jt: This does not deal with "opinions", rather
Paul as an apostle is trying
to protect the conscience of very young believers
who do not know
better as yet. He was not teaching a
"doctrine of meats".
"SLack" is not in the passage but Paul is clearly allowing these
brethren to continue within the fellowship.
jt: Paul only excluded those from fellowship who were
in open and
blatant
sin.
