Sacrifice everything for the sake of love and compromise nothing for the
sake of the Gospel.


If my Baptist aunt-in-law visits my house and I want to have a
beer, there are two scenerios:

1. Her faith is weak and the presence of beer drinkers
challenges her faith. In this case, I'm bound to hide the
beer and refrain from drinking during her visit.

2. She boldly announces that drinking beer is a sin,
and tells me I'm going to hell for it. In this case,
I'm bound to proclaim the Gospel by chugging one (or two)
defiantly.

You missed the point. According to Romans 7, where is the choice for
sin made? Hint: the answer is in v. 20.
