有时候我们会很潇洒或很有个性的说：我要做什么是我的自由，不需要跟任何人交待；我为自己活，只要问心无愧、不伤天害理，我什么都敢，也可以做。。。我只需要向自己负责任等等。。。
这样的说法有对也有错，这要按情形和其它因素而定。事实是，有一些事情虽然对得起良心，或也没有什么对错，但却会“绊倒”或影响一些单纯或软弱的人的信心，这些不是故意要跟你找碴或论断你的人，他们只是灵命还不够成熟或稳定，有一些你做的事他们有可能会误解，或者他们可能会学习你，但却做得比你更超过或做法错误而掉进试探和罪里，那就不好了。
所以，保罗才会说：
“凡事都可行，但不都有益处；凡事都可行，但不都造就人。 无论何人，不要求自己的益处，乃要求别人的益处。”
～ 林前 10:23-24 ～
Sometimes we can be very carefree and self-confident in saying: whatever I want do is my freedom, I don’t need to be accountable to anyone; I live for myself, as long as my conscience is clear and it is not sinful, I dare to and can do anything… I am only responsible to myself etc…
Well, this kind of statement can be right and wrong, it all depends on the situation and some other reasons. The truth is, our conscience might be clear in certain things, or there is really not a right or wrong issue, but it may “stumble” or affect the faith of some genuine people or those whose faith is weak, and these are not people who try to find fault with you or to purposely judge you. They are people who are not so mature or stable spiritually, so they might misconstrue certain things you do, or they might learn from you but overly do the same thing or do it in the wrong way and fall into temptations and sins, that will be bad.
That is why Paul said:
““Everything is permissible”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible”—but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. “
~ 1 Corinthians 10:23-24 ~
