‘All Things,’
1 Corinthians 6:12.
a) Are lawful for us.
b) Are not helpful to us.
c) Are permissible for us.
d) Should not enslave us.
(This QT Scripture teaches me the correct attitude towards All Things)

‘Accountability.’

b) Numbers 5:31, Husbands are not accountable for wife’s sin.
c) Deuteronomy 29:29. We are accountable for the things that the Lord has revealed to us.
d) 2 Kings 2:23; Job 13:26. Youths are accountable for their sin.
e) Ezekiel 3:18 & 20; 33:6. If we do not share God’s Word with those people whom He tells us to give His Words we are held accountable for them.
f) Ezekiel 34:10; Hebrews 13:17. Shepherds are accountable to God for their flocks.
g) Hosea 8:13. If we do nothing about them then God holds us accountable for our sins.

(Through this Second one I am reminded of Accountability)

Chris.
All things, except sin, are permissible for us but all things are not beneficial for us. As True Believers we need to live in this Freedom rather than in the fear associated with religious legalism.
