When the Gospel comes to a man or woman, the Holy Spirit will impress upon their heart what He wants them to know about themselves and God.
I can read John 3:16 to ANY MAN without stumbling over myself to make apologies for what the Holy Spirit may convict them about. It is His word.
Jesus Christ, will to some be a stone of stumbling for one reason or another. That may be unavoidable.
"Coming to Him, a living stone, REJECTED by men but with God chosen and precious. ...
For it is contained in Scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a cornerstone, chosen and precious, and he who believes on Him shall by no means be put to shame.
To you therefore who believe is the preciousness, but to the unbelieving,
The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the head of the corner,"
A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE; who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
(1 Peter 2:4,6-8)
Are you condemning the Gospel preacher because Christ the cornerstone WILL In some instances cause the stumbling of some?
Luke 7:23
New American Standard Bible
"Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."
King James Bible
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

What do you think will happen to me in the Lake of Fire?[/b]
You will be weeping and gnashing your teeth, not a pleasant thing since I believe there will
be no end to it.

answer is given you, there is something wrong. The wrath of God, it will be a lake of
fire and if you are in it, you always will be, punishment without mercy.
