Nehemiah 2, Romans 13 To Eat or Not to Eat.

As I reflected, I saw this: accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. Hence, I realized people think, ‘Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. So, why do people judge me seeing as they are not holy either. You know you have weak faith, but you see a suffering servant and instead of you to edify you use your power to pull down. You are a WICKED SERVANT and you do not have love even, when you know you are WEAK. If one is weak in wickedness, it is SIN, but to be weak in Christ is strength. There is not much strength in fighting a lost battle so I will relent for God’s sake. Since, we are called to lead a peaceful life and for mutual edification. Is not that I see what you can edify me with than Judgement.
So, if eating causes my brother to stumble, even though what I eat is not unclean I will not eat right. Because Blessed am I who does not condemn myself by what I approve, so from henceforth whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Because if we doubt what we eat (the word of God) then we condemn it, and whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

Therefore, let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love.

It is written:

“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me.
every tongue will acknowledge God.’”[b]

So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

Reflections:
Everyone is subject under Gods authority and what we consider clean is what we choose to accept either by law or by grace. Whether clean or unclean if it causes our brother or sister to stumble then we should desist from this.
We are not to judge and put away deeds of darkness to put on the armor of light.
God should help us to know what is good, so we do not speak of them as evil.
Sanballat and Tobiah, regarded the rebuilding of the temple as not good so then, they did not partake in the blessings when the temple was rebuilt.
Nehemiah was the kings cup bearer, who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem to take away the shame and disgrace from Jerusalem. As we ought to rebuild one’s walls than tear down. To treat ones suffering while they do the work of God is contempt. Even if they are identified as the kings cup bearer or not.

In the voice of Nehemiah, Lord grants us success as we build the walls.
I find that God is Kind and Stern at the same time. He is Austere and as he is so I on this earth. Romans 8: 22, Luke 19: 21
