If I am following God's direction to preach the Gospel and someone is offended, the offense is not intentional and the answer is still no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on a real event I have this amusing caricature of a congregation member approaching another member and saying, " I hope you won't be offended if I rebuke you for wearing a leather jacket to services, but leather speaks of rebellion, so you must repent of it." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never ought to offend anybody. We have to say all the truth in love. If the person feel offended, it is because the person love their bad works.

Jesus 's words have offended many it is a light to some and a stone of offence to others. Out of the rock came water,, but it is the same rock that will destroy the kingdoms of men at the end of the tribulation. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

As we go through life, we are going to offend people for just being Christians or have a Christian viewpoint (which is open to debate among Christians.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we speak the trueth from the word it offends people. Testify to the truth anyway. When we won't go along with sinners it offends them. Do it anyway. When we dont pacify and agree with lost people, pumped up in vain imaginations of theirselves. It offends them. Never put yourself in agreement with a prifull spirit, demon or iniquity. Offend them. If a person on a path to hell is offended by you interrupting their damned existance and destruction with the truth Tell them Jesus died for them anyway. Speaking the truth in love does not mean don't offend anyone. It means if you love them you will stand between them and eternal damnation testifing of Jesus, The Cross, His Blood, Gids Mercy and praying God gives them ears to hear. The cross is an offence to the world. You bare it or you dont. I believe compromising the truth to pacify the lost and dieing is not grace its virtue signaling and pride. If a person cant bow their own knee and own flesh before the Lord and his Name to serve. I promise your not loving like Jesus loved the lost world is the least of your worries. I care first if I offend God by knowing such a great salvation and shutting the doors to heaven on others so i dont offend a lost miserable soul. Thank God Jesus is Lord of all. Cause all of was would be destroyed without him. Edited November 21, 2021 by Reinitin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
