1 Corinthians 6:1-11

In 1Cor6, we're told not only that we need to be wise enough to be capable of judgement, but that we should indeed judge to settle our disputes.

In 1Cor4, we're told not to judge anything til the appointed time.

• What does Paul mean when he says that he may not be innocent, but that he has a clear conscience?
• Does 1Cor6 mean that, sheesh, if you have to have a judgement, do it yourselves as a last measure as in the way he says, if you can't avoid sexual immorality, get a wife?
• Is 1Cor6 speaking about the affairs of man vs 1Cor4's judging of the heart?
  

1 Corinthians 10:23

Am I taking this out of context, or does it really mean that everything is permissible? Regardless, with this mindset, it makes it a lot easier to witness to people without feeling on-edge because of their fornication or addiction problems.

What about 31-33? Can you see this applying to being a manic driver, taking advantage of many to shave that 3 minutes off your travel time? What other group situations can you apply this too?

*Updated: So, everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial appears to be specifically speaking towards meat consumption. At the time, a lot of the meat that was purchased at the Corinthian market had been previously sacrificed to idols, so the believers there were unsure of where the boundaries were.
