    Stumbling Blocks.

    Luke 17.1-2
    1. "And He said to His disciples, 'It is inevitable that stumbling blocks should come, but woe to him through whom they come!

    2. It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. (Matthew 18.6-7) (Mark 9.42) (Luke 17.1-2) (1Corinthians 8.9-13).

    Stumbling blocks are of many different sorts. In the past, according to the Bible it was idol-worship and barbaric pagan traditions, and also all sorts of perverted sexual relations.

    Today is very much the same without much of change, but in recent years added something that we have not seen in the past, indoctrination of children in public schools into pervert unnatural state and behavior by changing gender at will, that is done on the federal level without consent of the parents, and in addition to it performing sex change by medical means is quite new that was not been in the past, and even not mentioned in the Bible.

    Do we reach today a new level of pervert behavior and in stumbling blocks for most innocent group of people in our societies, I think we do.

    Our societies trying to destroy moral core not only of religion but also of standard elementary human morality and decency. We very well know how GOD deal with Sodom and Gomorrah and with the nations what reached the full level of their sins and evil.

    What GOD will do to those who teaching children into pervert way of life and changed their gender at will to whoever or whatever they want?

    Of course, godless people would not pay attention to the Words of GOD, but as all His prophecies, predictions, and warnings, this statement of the Lord written by Luke certainly will come true at its appropriate time.

    At issue, how do we help the unsaved bear and understand the gospel?

    2 Corinthians 4:3-4, ". . . But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. . . ."

    Romans 1:16, ". . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . ."

    1 Corinthians 15:1-4, ". . . the gospel . . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . "

    1 John 5:1, ". . . Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . ."

    1 John 5:9-13, ". . . If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. . . ."

    Matthew 16:21-23 NASB
    Jesus Foretells His Death
    21 From that time Jesus began to point out to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem and to suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised up on the third day. 22 And yet Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You!” 23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are A STUMBLING BLOCK to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s purposes, but men’s".

    Stumbling block .

    Since 6000 years ago stumbling blocks have existed, the first one that occurred is demonstrated in Genesis 3:1. Even here among us believers, there were discussions that were real stumbling blocks, posted by those who sometimes twist the Scriptures to post lies trying to demonstrate their false theories as if they were truths, as happened in Genesis 3:1&4-5.
    For examples, I remember the false posts preaching here about the rebuilding of the Temple
    Will the Jews build a Third Temple? (pages 1to4)

    and

    and sacrifices of red heifers, for examples.
    Two Witnesses of Revelation Will Appear in 2023 (posts #34 and #39)

    In fact, there will no be reconstruction of a new den of thieves, I meant a new Temple in Jerusalem.

    Matthew 12:36-36 NASB
    36 But I tell you that for every careless word that people speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
