Christian Liberty in Disputable Matters
Christians must not condemn or scandalize one another over morally indifferent matters such as food preferences. Personal liberties should be exercised unto the Lord without placing a stumbling block in another believer's way, while the passage must not be misused to prohibit every form of moral or doctrinal judgment.
