       Paul points out that he is not to eat anything in front of the Jewish person if that Jewish person thinks the food is unclean (even though Paul himself believes it’s not). We are not to do anything in front of someone if we know that individual thinks that thing is a sin. A person, for instance, may not want to watch rated ‘R’ movies to give their minds extra protection from certain things. So, we aren’t to invite Jane then to a rated ‘R’ movie at the theater if we are aware she doesn’t watch rated ‘R’ movies. To some people, it seems logical that they shouldn’t kill and ate animals. We aren’t to push our girlfriend to go hunting with us, if we know that she doesn’t believe in hunting animals. Some folks don’t wish to drink alcohol since they fear it could lead them into sin. We aren’t to order a beer at Martini’s restaurant if we know that Nick doesn’t believe drinking beers is right. We are to limit our own personal freedom in certain settings if that freedom could lead another individual to go against his or her conscience.
