Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Too many people think grace and liberty means we can do what we want – as long as no one else gets hurt. But that is so far from the truth. That is lasciviousness, not liberty.

Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

God gives us liberty to eat meat or not to eat meat – He has declared all meats clean. He has given us liberty to keep/observe or not to observe holy days – though the NT clearly teaches we are no longer bound to observe them and we have no right to enforce them on others. The NT still teaches strongly against immodest apparrel. I believe there are enough Scriptures that teach God does not want His children drinking alcoholic beverages – but whether someone disagrees because of some less clear OT passages, it is still pretty obvious God is against the believer being drunk or going to places where drinking feasts (ie. drunken parties) are going on.

It is not simply a matter of: I can do whatever I want UNLESS it causes another believer to stumble. It is more a matter of: what I CAN do (ie. what God allows me to do based on God’s Word), what I have the freedom to do (because there is nothing specifically against it in the Word of God), I have the liberty to do UNLESS it causes another believer to stumble in the faith. There is a world of difference between these two positions.

Not saying that you are promoting what I am speaking against, I just wanted to clarify a little bit about what Biblical grace and liberty really means, as too many seriously abuse it.
