If a weaker believer sees another believer eating in the food court at the pagan temple, they may believe it is OK for them to do the same thing, but in doing so, they have violated their conscience because they believe it is a sin to eat meat that was used in a pagan sacrifice, which Paul says is a sin. Not only is it a sin for the one violating their conscience, it is a sin by the one who caused the weaker believer to stumble! This is why Paul says, “If eating meat is going to cause others to stumble, then I simply won’t eat meat.” </p> sin, freedom, Jesus, Christ, vegetarian, chain, meat, food, vegetables, soup, violate, violation, ticket, conscience Christ has set us free from sin, yes, but do we have freedom?
