Conscience

I was not very welcoming. I was not very welcoming. I tolerated. I endured it. She complained, and she threw a fit. My mom made me. I did not want to welcome her. Now, the weak here, Paul's not trying to put people down. He's not trying to say, ah, you're weak if you don't eat meat. You're, you're, you're clueless. You don't have any idea what's going on. He's not trying to put anyone down. He's saying, hey, there are people out there. He uses the word weak to talk about people who have sensitive consciences and convictions. Often, these are former Jews who've been raised their whole lives with a set of, of strict rules to follow. So they would avoid these, these certain foods. They would observe, the Sabbath. Their convictions were sincere. Their love for God is real, but their conscience is fragile. And Paul says, we need to welcome these people, not to fight about differing opinions,
