How Would A Christian Offend And Cause Another Christian To Sin?

Note: Click on the BLUE hyperlinked passages of scripture that I quote to
read for you see God's holy Word. When you view it you can choose to read
it in any Translation of the Bile you prefer. Many godly Christians will
disagree with what I teach herein. Please never take my beliefs as being
perfect or the only true understanding of God's Word. It is your duty and
responsibility to search the Bible to determine if what I teach is true.
Offending is the Greek word Skandalizo and literally means to entice to a
Christian to sin. 1 Corinthians 8:13  Therefore, if what I eat causes my
brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not
cause him to fall.
 

If I tried to persuade a Christian who believes Halloween is a sin to
take part in it and they did, I would then and only then would I "offend"
attempt them to stumble into "sin."

 


The Greek word for stumble is kashal means: to cause to stumble, bring
injury or ruin to, overthrow. This is the result  of a Christian choosing
to act against the dictates of his conscience: Romans 14:23. "But whoever
has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith.
For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin." the result  of a brother
in the Lord in acting against the dictates of his conscience. 

 

Therefore, if you shoot pool, play card, wear clothes some one doesn't
approve of, attend church more often or less often that some, you are not
sinning. 

 

If  however, you try to persuade other Christians to do as you do that
they believe it is a sin, you are sinning. 

 

If they are children of any age while living under their parents
authority, NEVER try to give them any justification to go against their
parents beliefs concerning this subject.
