What the Bible says about Christian liberty has freed me from that judgmentalism. The apostle Paul didn’t say in Romans 14 that someone who ate meat offered to idols would one day start worshiping idols. He didn’t see a slippery slope there. He saw only freedom. I’ve learned that if I have a conviction against something because it is spiritually unhelpful for me, that doesn’t mean the same activity is spiritually unhelpful for someone else. That’s the beauty of Christian liberty.
