8. 1 Corinthians 8:12. “Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.” When you embolden your brothers and sisters to disregard their moral consciousness (even if it’s misinformed), you are sinning against them by causing them to feel intense guilt since their misinformed (and thus oversensitive) moral consciousness condemns them. In that way, you also sin against Christ.
