Romans 14:23

FaithDoubtSin

21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.

22 Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.
