I can understand this..We would feed anyone . But always remember this as well . Never lie to them . If they are a man and ask you to call them mam
or etc . YE are not to do any such thing . Never allow one to ever feel their sin is okay in the eyes of God .
The more we read the bible the more we see the real pattern on how to appraoch any situation .
There is a section where Paul is talking about eating things of the altar... I'll find it
1Co 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
1Co 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
1Co 10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
I may need to translate this in a different version...
feast is the example given right?
translating...
My brother in law came to me and set before me a plate of transgenderism. I was sitting in his mother's house when this was set before me.
I was not told that this new way of life was happening because it was trending, or everyone is doing it.. kind of thing.
His conscience wasn't offended at all. In fact he took it as the only alternative to how his body and mind was telling him to be.
Using the scenerio above given by Paul..
what should my response have been?
Because basically, I didn't react one way or the other. I kind of said.. that's nice dear... not in those words, but I wasn't interested in his personal changes. I was more concerned about what he was going to do for his mother, now that his father had just passed away.
That was more my priority than his gender change.
What should I have said? or should I have said anything..
and what does who's conscience have to do with it? mine or his?
What is Paul saying?
Thank You
