It is not just about eating, but everything. Why is that? Romans 1:17.
Romans 14:23,
But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
If I:
1The KJV translates Strongs G1252 in the following manner: doubt (5x), judge (3x), discern (2x), contend (2x), waver (2x), misc (5x).
which IS NOT faith then I am putting myself based on my vain imagination, presumption, assumption, soulish knowledge, guess and the like under that expectation based on that imagination, presumption, assumption, soulish knowledge or guess.
I plainly miss it. Positionally, I am not condemned, but I am empowering the old nature by creating the expectation through doubt. The old nature is death, enmity towards God and intrinsically incapable of pleasing God because is diametrically opposed to faith. Now, faith comes by hearing His voice based on the word.
