As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
Read Part 1.
Is it OK to go up the down staircase?
If it violates the spirit of the law, no it’s not. If it doesn’t, it’s fine.
But as I noted last time, when it doesn’t violate the spirit of the law, there are other things to consider.
Ah, that “doubtful things” issue again.
Yep.
The term ἀδιάφορα (adiaphora), literally, matters that are to be viewed with indifference or that make no difference, does not appear in the Christian Scriptures and does not feature significantly in Christian Theology until the Reformation era. The term does, however, predate the Christian period by several centuries, being well-established in Greek philosophy/ethics. For instance,
“… convictions are firmly held moral or religious beliefs that guide our beliefs, actions, or choices. This shuts out beliefs we have about matters of taste (not moral), and it also shuts out beliefs we hold but are happy to disregard or ignore (they don’t guide our actions).” - CToday
