“Accept those whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.”

“One person’s faith allows them to eat everything, but another person, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.”

“The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted that person.”

“Some consider one day more sacred than another; others consider every day alike. Everyone should be fully convinced in their own mind.”

“Those who regard one day as special do so to the Lord. Those who eat meat do so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and those who abstain do so to the Lord and give thanks to God.”

And for the man who is delicate and fragile in his beliefs, you should treat him with acceptance but not raise a conflict with him over a different point of view. One person thinks that he can consume everything, whereas the fragile person lives solely on vegetables.

“Say to the Israelites: ‘Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat:”

“You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud.”

And on that account, the almighty Heavenly Father, the Supreme Being of all the universe, had a conversation with Aaron and Moses, where he told them that they should talk to the citizens of Israel and tell them that those who happen to be the living things which they could consume amongst all the other living creatures that are known to exist in this world.

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”

And therefore, the almighty Heavenly Father, the Supreme Being of all the universe, exclaimed that we should pay close attention, for he has provided us with all the greenery around, giving rise to new plants that have grown all over the surface of the planet earth, and he has also made sure that there are fruits on every branch so that we are able to consume them as food.

And on that account, our daily bread will not sing songs of praises for us before the almighty Heavenly Father, the Supreme Being of all the universe.

“Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.”

And on that account, if food causes my companion to fumble for words, I will not consume the flesh of any other animal in my life again, in order to avoid the risk of making my companion fluff his lines. 

“Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.”

And on that account, there might be people who think of a certain day to be better than the other days, whereas, on the other hand, there might be people who treat all the days of a week in a similar manner. However, each and every individual should be completely certain about their beliefs in their own heads. 

“What goes into your mouth does not defile you, but what comes out of your mouth, that is what defiles you.”

“You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.”

And therefore you should keep yourself away from the things that have been offered to godly figures as a sacrifice, and from blood, and from the consumption of something that has been choked to death, and from things that are sexually dishonest. And if you are able to hold yourself back from these things, you will flourish and become successful in life. With this, I bid you goodbye.

“It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.”

“So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed are those who do not condemn themselves by what they approve.”

“But those who have doubts are condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.”

Who do you think yourself to be to deliver an opinion on a person who works for someone else? It is only in front of his own Lord that he is on his feet or drops down to the ground. And he will be provided with support as the almighty Heavenly Father, the Supreme Being of all the universe, possesses the power to make him rise to his feet.

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.”

“Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.”

“Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it. “Do not practice divination or seek omens.”

And therefore, you are not supposed to consume the meat of any animal with the trail of blood on it. You are not supposed to throw light on futuristic predictions or foretell fate. 

“Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience.”

And on that account, you should consume anything that is available for sale in the meat shop, without putting forward any inquiry or doubt on the foundations of the moral sense of right and wrong. 

“Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat.”

And on that account, you should not stay amidst the men who are alcoholics, or amidst greedy men who consume the flesh, and this is because of the fact that both the alcohol abuser and the gourmand will eventually have to come across destitution, and drowsiness will wrap them with tattered clothes. 

“But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a human being, and whoever offers a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig’s blood, and whoever burns memorial incense is like one who worships an idol. They have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations.”

And therefore, the people who butcher a bullock are no different from those who murder humans; those who offer the lamb as a sacrifice to the almighty Heavenly Father, the Supreme Being of all the universe, are similar to the ones who fracture the neck of a dog; the one who puts forward the sacrifice of a grain, is no less than the one who puts forward the blood of swine as an offering; the person who proposes a memorial sacrifice of frankincense, bears a resemblance to a person who puts his faith on a mere godly figurine.

“That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.”

“Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.”

“Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.”

And on that account, all the things that have been designed by the good God, the almighty Heavenly Father, are worthy of praise, and not a single thing should be turned down if it was accepted with gratefulness, and this is because it had been blessed and sanctified by the words of the holy Lord, the Supreme Being of all the universe, and the invocations dedicated to him.
