KJ version uses the words "shall offend" which comes from the greek word skandalizo {skan-dal-id'-zo} ("scandalize") which means 1) to put a stumbling block or impediment in the way, upon which another may trip and fall, metaph. to offend 1a) to entice to sin 1b) to cause a person to begin to distrust and desert one whom he ought to trust and obey 1b1) to cause to fall away I donot beleive that this would be an unforgivable sin, I feel that this verse is stressing the importance that we are to strive very hard to not cause children to stumble. Because once a childs trust is broken it is hard to rebuild. Love in Christ, drew |
