“… such an inconvenience restraint creates...”

Has anyone seen temperance lately? It seems to be missing or its deficiency has rendered it unidentified. Temperance is KJV wording for self-control and though not a hard concept to understand, human character naturally resists it's Law of Restraint.

I preached Sunday about Paul’s discourse in 1 Corinthians 6 concerning things Lawful and things expedient. What portion of Law was he talking about? Was it ceremonial, judicial, or moral perhaps? In context of what he was saying it pertained to moral which entailed dietary guidelines which is why he made the next statement. He said the belly was for the meats and the meats for the belly, but God would destroy or do away with them both. God purposefully designed them to be temporal.

What Paul said that sticks out to me is that he would not be brought under subjection to any or in other words controlled by things whether they were lawful or not. Under the guise of Bible non-specifics people do make allowances for things they want or don’t want to do, etc.

Jesus said to seek the Kingdom and the righteousness of God as priority and these things that are temporal and won’t mean anything 50 years from now can wait. Even if their lawful (permissible) and especially if they are not expedient (proper in time or in nature).
