All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything.
1 Corinthians 6:12
1 Corinthians 6:12
One would need a good definition of lawful . Since none was given , I used the idea that I am not under a set of religious rules written down by this or that group or person .All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything.
1 Corinthians 6:12
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything.
1 Corinthians 6:12
if anyone votes yes - consider this question... is it lawful for me to wilfully commit idolatry or participate directly in pagan practises? Somehow these go directly in the face of the first commandment which was spoken from heaven to Moses by God in the presence of thousands of witnesses and corroborated by the person who we believe to be the ultimate source of authority for all Christian believers.

Consider it considered and rejected .
You are only bringing those up because the Law talks about those things . The Law was made for those that *want* to commit idolatry and *want* to participate directly in pagan practices . Those that don't want to do those things don't need the Law - do they ? And , those for whom the Law was made ( those that *want* to do those things ) will not benefit from observing the Law . They are still guilty of idolatry and in participating in pagan practices by their desires .

I agree with this for the first half, but what about the second?the verse means: You are capable of anything, but not all actions are good.
