[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1.
Justin has left a new comment on your post "Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1":
Jesse,
I read the paper by Bauder. First of all what does "This essay is by
Kevin T. Bauder president of Central Baptist Theological Seminary. Not every one of the professors, students, or alumni of Central Seminary necessarily agrees with every opinion that it expresses." He is the president of the school. Shouldn't they agree with him.
Second, this still doesn't answer my question. I guarantee you that I am not going to offend the teens that I work with by using Christian Contemporary Music at a meeting or event. So if that is the case, do I then have the liberty to use this music, if it isn't going to bring an offense.
Third, so Paul says that we offend those that place external rules on their lives and see it as sin. They are called weaker Christians because they have not see the freedom that Christ brings to their lives and they then place these rules on their lives to help them be spiritual in their eyes before God. That then gives me the greater responsibility as the stronger Christian to make sure that I do not offend. Are my methods then morally ok if they do not bring an offense? Or is it morally wrong?
I am going to be posting a new discussion on my blog that I would love to get your and anybody else that reads this' take.
