Question 8a
Romans 14:13-18
[13] Therefore we must not pass judgment on one another, but rather determine never to place an obstacle or a trap before a brother or sister. [14] I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean. [15] For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died. [16] Therefore do not let what you consider good be spoken of as evil. [17] For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

[18] so that we who have found refuge in him may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.
