Bible Note: Justme, I'm just pondering, but I can't think of anywhere that scripture puts such a burden or obligation on us. As I search my memory for passages that would shed light on this, my mind goes to Paul giving believers permission to eat meat sacrificed to idols. He seemed to teach they need not burden their conscience with worry about "supporting" the practice. Feel free to eat the meat was the suggestion. Perhaps its apples to oranges, but I still can't think of any passage that would require somebody to meet up to Christian ethics before a christian may do business with them. In Christ, Beja |
