This is really rich JD. Here I am advocating
love for and obedience to the Lord (they
go together like siamese twins if we love Him we will do what He says) all the
time which you promptly wrest into "legalism and works" for whatever reason and no
matter how many scriptures I post validating the fact
that loving the Lord and doing what He says is normal Christian living you find some theologian or doctrine to negate
them all.
So please tell me how you figure I the one
who is stubborn and rebellious?? Yes the Lord is able to
strengthen the weak in faith who are fearful of eating certain foods (but
who love the truth and want to obey Him), God's strength is
made perfect in weakness and He can cause these ones to stand but He
will not make a silk purse out of a sows ear any more than you can make a
generic doctrine out of Romans 14:4.
One verse can not negate the rest of the Bible
and God will still send a strong delusion on those who do not really love
the truth enough to obey Him and who take pleasure in unrighteousness (2
Thess 10-12)

These words fly in the face of Romans
14:4. Stubbornness and rebellion are not
larger than God's forgiving
grace -- but they sure are
ugly little devils. JD
