Paul speaks of stumbling blocks in the 1 Corinthians 1:23
1 Corinthians 1:23 (ESV)
but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,
We are already, at the onset of our experience, standing face to face with perhaps the greatest stumbling block in our intellectual lives, Christ crucified.
Yet again and again we create stumbling blocks. The disciples see that John the Baptist is baptizing folks and calling them to repent. They want him to stop. Mark 9:38
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.”
Jesus does not tell us to push out those whom we disagree with bu implores us again and agin to bring people back. James 5:20
you should know that whoever brings back a sinner from wandering will save the sinner’s soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
