Skandalon | Dealing With Offences Pt. 1

The Word Skandalon is a Greek Word which means the following: A. A trap or a snare; B. Any impediment placed in the way and causing one to stumble or fall and; C. Any person or thing by which one is entrapped or drawn into error or sin. What it means to be Converted! The word Converted is very critical to our understanding because just like the born again experience where a person cannot enter his or her mother’s womb to be born a second time, to be converted is the Greek Word “Strephō” meaning the following; ——To turn, turn around or reverse from your natural self or your usual behavior as an adult; ——To turn your back to oneself as in deny your self or flesh. That is; A. You no longer care about others in a certain way of making their comments affect you so much that you get offended. You must become an “I don’t care Person.” A child doesn’t care what you think or say about them. There are too many adults and no children, it’s the reason offences have multiplied in the church. Egos are so high that the little thing offends us. Be careful lest you go to hell. B. To turn your back to your old conducts. That is to change your mind or renew your mind by the word of God. Be blessed as you listen to this great teachings from our father.
