And Pauls admonition to give up one's 'rights' rather then offend a brother means nothing? (Rom.14:15)
Even so, come Lord Jesus
That's not quite right. It is causing a brother to offend, that is, to be tempted to do wrong. Since drinking alcohol is not wrong, according to the Bible, and Paul himself suggested Christians should do their drinking at home, it is drinking wine or eating meat that has some religious significance, like being sacrificed to idols, and which might cause someone used to using those things in pagan rituals to be spiritually weakened.
Do you really think that's a problem today?
