This is very helpful, thank you.
I still have that question though, about how we handle reproach when God's flock has such diverse views. For example, one of the verses you provided was 2 Corinthians 6:3
"We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,"
I love this because it points back to Paul's other writings about causing others to stumble. I just don't know how to balance this when we consider that, in a ministry decision point where a leader has three options, and all three cause someone from the congregation to stumble/doubt/disagree/etc. I realize that's a vague hypothetical, but do you understand the underlying thought? This is something I'm struggling with and would appreciate prayers but also wisdom.
For example, some churches partake in communion every week, and some do so much less frequently. I grew up in the Salvation Army, who never did communion. If one comes from a background where weekly communion is normal (and expected), and comes to a church where it takes place only during passover, how do we balance that obstacle with our own conviction?
Apologies for the long post.
