An article in US News and World Report told of Professor Robert Simon of Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, who reports that ten to twenty percent of his students do not think the Holocaust was necessarily wrong. Kay Haugaard of Pasadena City College writes that her students have trouble expressing any moral objections to human sacrifice. Yet, they will condemn such things as Japanese whaling. Old-fashioned morality may be waning, but rigorous moral criticism is alive and well when it comes to smoking, environmentalism, women's rights, and animal rights. Saint Paul in our text is not appealing to multicultural understanding or relativism or tolerance which disregards God's law. He is not advocating an acceptance of whatever a fellow Christian may believe or do, but an acceptance which recognizes the informed conscience of a brother or sister in the faith. We are to accept fellow Christians as genuine who believe in Christ but may not understand God's claim on their lives the same way we do.
