The concept of what is allowed is deeply rooted in the understanding of divine commandments, moral laws, and the freedom granted to believers within the framework of God's will. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the concept of what is allowed is frequently tied to the Mosaic Law. The Law, given to the Israelites, delineates what is permissible in various aspects of life, including worship, dietary practices, and social conduct. For instance, certain foods were allowed to be eaten, while others were deemed unclean (Leviticus 11). The Law also specified what was allowed in terms of sacrifices and offerings, as seen in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. The account of Job provides insight into the concept of divine permission. Satan is allowed to test Job, but only within the limits set by God (<a href="/job/1-12.htm">Job 1:12</a>: "The LORD said to Satan, 'Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.'"). This illustrates that even in trials, what is allowed is under God's sovereign control. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the concept of what is allowed often shifts from strict adherence to the Law to the freedom found in Christ. Jesus frequently challenged the Pharisees' interpretations of what was allowed, emphasizing the spirit rather than the letter of the Law. For example, in <a href="/matthew/12-12.htm">Matthew 12:12</a>, Jesus states, "How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath" . Here, Jesus highlights that acts of mercy and goodness are always allowed, even on the Sabbath. The Apostle Paul addresses the issue of what is allowed in the context of Christian liberty. In <a href="/1_corinthians/10-23.htm">1 Corinthians 10:23</a>, he writes, "Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible, but not everything is edifying" . Paul acknowledges that while believers have freedom in Christ, not all actions are constructive or beneficial to oneself or others. Moral and Ethical Considerations The Bible provides guidance on what is morally and ethically allowed, emphasizing love, justice, and righteousness. The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) serve as a foundational moral code, outlining behaviors that are not allowed, such as murder, theft, and adultery. Conversely, the teachings of Jesus and the apostles encourage believers to pursue what is allowed in terms of love, kindness, and humility. In <a href="/bsb/romans/14.htm">Romans 14</a>, Paul discusses the issue of disputable matters, advising believers to be considerate of others' consciences. He emphasizes that what is allowed for one person may not be for another, depending on their faith and understanding. <a href="/romans/14-14.htm">Romans 14:14</a> states, "I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean" . This passage underscores the importance of personal conviction and the allowance for diversity within the body of Christ. Conclusion The concept of what is allowed in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing divine commandments, personal freedom, and ethical considerations. It requires discernment and a heart aligned with God's will, seeking to honor Him in all actions and decisions.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Allow.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1921.htm">1921. epiginosko -- to know exactly, to recognize</a> ...
