Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, The Problem of Christian Freedom. 1 Corinthiai®, Chapter 8, for Sunday, October 27. Today’s lesson stresses the fact that, in considering what is right conduct, we must think of the effect of our actions upon others as well as ourselves. The problem of eating food that had been offered to idols may seem trivial, but,

since many of the Christians in Corinth were converted Jews, their former restrictions regarding clean food made them sensitive to the food problem in general, and ■ therefore, a subject worth discussing by Paul. V. 1. “Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth." Some Christians in Corinth were rather smug in their opinion that, since idols were meaningless to Christians food sacrificed to idols and later sold in the market place was a matter of indifference. hTe converted Jews felt otherwise because of their back ground. Loving consideration for the opinions and sensitivities of others is of greater importance than being smug about one’s own rightness. Vs. 2, 3. “And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he gnoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. . But if any man love God. the same is known of him . . .” This verse warns against the conceit of one who thinks he is a person of superior knowledge, since God alone is truly wise. When there is love for God and right relationship with Him and our fellowmen, we can be used more effectively than if we were intellectually sophisticated. In knowledge, we try to climb to heaven; in love, God cames down to us. Vs. 4,5, 6, “As concerning therefore the eating of those thing that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. . . For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) . . . . . . But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." Paul agrees that since idols are of no importance to Christian, eating meat sacrificed to idols iff of no religious consequence to him, but appreciated the fact that it was a matter of grave concern to others who felt that by eating such food, they ewre compromising with idolatry. Those who held such an opinion were scorned by those who held a more liberal viewpoint and considered themselves more intellectual. Paul tried to point out that true wisdom is knowledge that serves the general good, and that true wisdom begins in humility, since the one true God alone is all wise. Vs. 7,8, 9. “Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. . But meat commendeth us not to God; for neither, if we eat, are we tfye better; neither, if we eat not are we the worse . . . But take heed lest by any emans this liberty of yours becomes a stubmling block to them that are weak.” Until certain people could disassociate the ideal of meat with idolatry, their consciences .condemned them when they ate meat, and therefore, to them it was wrong. Christians therefore must consider the convictions of others and abstain from such conduct which might weaken the Christian faith of another, even though it seemed allright personally. God looks not at what we eat, but at what we are. Vs. 10. 11. “For i fany man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which idols; . . . And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?”* If a Christian were seen eating meat in
