SCRIPTURES THAT OFFEND!

[Alex Berrios]

Mark 4:14-17 (KJV)

14
 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard,
Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are
sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And have no root in
themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately
they are offended.

Matthew 5:10-12 (KJV)

10
 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11
 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my
sake. 12  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were
before you.

1 Peter 4:14 (KJV)

14
 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part
he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

11
 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12
 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the
prophets.
