Romans 14;1-3
1. As for the man who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not for disputes over opinions.2.  One believes he may eat anything, while the weak man eats only vegetables.3.  Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains past judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him.

To be ‘weak in faith’ is not the fault of God. 
“For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for it is not by measure that he gives the Spirit;”(John 3;34) “ I give thanks to God, always for you because of the grace of God, which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in Him with all speech and all knowledge—even as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you—so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ; who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.”   (1 Corinthians 1;4-8)
The gift of faith is not given in limited measure, but fearful Believers, mistakenly limit their Christian freedom out of ignorance of the truth of God.
God still loves and accepts the fearful Believer, and desires that those whose faith allows them to eat or drink accept the weaker brethren also.  Patience and tolerance with the weak in faith is God’s will for us.
“I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to wish you have been called,with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”  (Ephesians 4;1-3)
“But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.  As for the man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is perverted and sinful; he is self-condemned.” (Titus 3;9-11)
There is a difference between the ‘weak in faith’ and those who want to quarrel over the law.  Quarrelsome people attack the unity of the Spirit, they break the bond of peace which God has given us.  There is room in the Church for the weak in faith, but quarrelsome people are near to destruction.
Prayer:  Merciful Father, grant us all the humble heart of Jesus, who in patience taught His disciples and was forbearing of their ignorance.  Bless us with wisdom and gentleness as we walk together in Christ.Bless us to know, we ourselves (with Paul) still, “see as through a glass dimly”  and are still learning ourselves.  In Jesus we pray, Amen.
