9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.
A weak brother or sister may be destroyed by our knowledge. Good knowledge. Right knowledge. True knowledge.
That is particularly disturbing.
My knowledge of the Scriptures, even when true, can bring harm to someone and for me be a sin against Christ. It’s not knowledge that is the problem, or even truth. But rather how that knowledge is used.
This… is something to ponder.
