I truly hope that my questions do not cause you to get upset with me. Why is the weak brother the wrong brother in your eyes? I don't see it that way. The teaching of Jesus in Rev. 2:20 sides with the "weaker brother" so how could he be "wrong." Also, the Galatians passage does not condemn honoring holy days. Paul himself honored holy days. Surely you recognize this in Scripture. What Paul was concerned about was the idea that disciples could be perfected in their Christian walk by observing holy days.

I agree with you on that point. However, if Paul knew that the meat was offered to idols, you don't think he ate it, even in private, do you? Peace be with you.
