"Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things." {Romans 14:1}
"Receive Ye"
- Days--Romans 14:5
- Food--Romans 14:2,3
- Marriage--Matthew 19:10-12
- Circumcision--Acts 16:3
"Receive Not"
"If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds." {2 John 10,11}
- Days--Galatians 4:9-11
- Food--1 Timothy 4:1-3
- Marriage--1 Timothy 4:1-3
- Circumcision--Galatians 2:3-5; 5:1-4
How do we reconcile these passages? One (Romans 14) is talking about matters of indifference--the other (2 John 10,11) matters of the faith.
