Neville Goddard on Romans 14:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 14 in context

Scripture Focus

1Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

4Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Romans 14:1-6

Biblical Context

Romans 14:1-6 invites believers to receive those with weaker faith without disputes, acknowledging that God has received them and that each mind should be persuaded in its own conscience.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the mind that feels divided over nonessentials, Romans 14 reveals a deeper principle: states of awareness take on appetites and rituals, but all are received by the I AM within. The 'weak in faith' are merely lower drafts of consciousness clinging to a rule; the 'strong' are higher revisions that can eat all things and still give thanks, yet neither stands apart from God. In truth, you are not the master of another’s inner servant; your neighbor’s inner life rests under the Lord’s care, and God is able to keep him upright. When you judge or despise, you project your own limitation into the hall of your mind. When you choose to receive, you invite your own soul to breathe freely in unity. The call is to be fully persuaded in your own mind while extending space to others, for the I AM in you receives every expression with love. Thus, inner liberty is not the overthrow of conscience but its quiet expansion into the single consciousness we share.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume, I am the I AM that receives all into one mind. Now imagine your heart holding space for every belief, letting judgment fall away and feeling universal peace.
