GREY OR NOT?

I have been considering “grey” decisions, decisions that are not clear on whether or not they are right or wrong according to scripture. People can deny up and down that those things exist, but in fact, they do. We all could give example after example where one group of believers thinks is wrong and another right; yet we find nothing saying either way in the Bible. The meter should be the Bible obviously, but what do you do with these issues that are not clear? Any people say that anything that causes someone to question your walk is wrong so what does it mean when people question your witness? That varies from person to person. Some think that cohabitating causes it; some think that cussing causes it; some think that drinking causes it. The fact is that we must look at what the world in general thinks. In other words, what is it that would make the world question our walk with Christ? Certainly we have all done things that would cause those who do not believe and perhaps those who do to question our devotion to Christ, some more than others, and I speak about myself in that statement. Nevertheless, do the things that most believers say are questionable truly questionable to the world today. I submit that they are not. In fact, many would question someone’s walk for having fun as much as some would for cussing so we cannot use the world as the meter for determining whether or not something is right or wrong. There are those who would believe that Christians are not to have any fun or their devotion is quenched believe it or not. This question should be answered by the individual believer. We cannot answer it as a whole. This is not moral relativism. In fact, it is completely the opposite. It is moral relativism that says what is right for one person might not be right for another. What I am saying is that the “black and white” things of scripture should be acknowledged and followed accordingly. However, the “grey” areas should be determined by each individual according to what the Holy Spirit says to that person.
