       The first example is provided to us here, when it says, “One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.” Now, Paul probably had in mind Jewish folks who had come Christ but were still trying to be Kosher. They were still carrying over Jewish ceremonial customs to their newfound faith in Christ. Obviously, the stronger believer knows that he or she is allowed to eat whatever because we no longer are required to keep the ceremonial parts of the Jewish Law. God doesn’t require that. But, to carry this over for more modern day application, we might know a believer or two who is a vegan as they believe it’s morally wrong for them personally to eat any kind of animals, or certain types of animals. I have actually known a couple of people who were like this. And while I found their restrictions humorous, I never tried to get them to go against those convictions because that’s not what we’re supposed to do. That’s not what we’re here for. Life is more than what we eat and what we don’t eat.
