7) Woe unto the world
because of offense! For it
must needs be that offenses
come; but woe to that man
by whom the offense cometh
|
SORROW AWAIT THE
WORLD BECAUSE IT TEMPT
PEOPLE:
The cry of pity for a ,world in
danger
What sorrow awaits the
pornographic world, because
it tempts people to sin,
temptations are inevitable,
but sorrow awaits the person
who does the tempting
JESUS warns that those who
are instrumental in
influencing people into sinful
things before other especially
children will be ultimately
condemned
To place offensive things in
the part of others- Such as,
immoral firms, drugs false
gospel, wicked example is by
the Satan who is the
tempter, and is all should
remove from our homes, our
church anything that will lead
other to temptation and sin
IT MUST BE;
That is such is the
wickedness of man that there
will be always some who are
attempting to make other
sin, or temptation to induce
other to sin, some people of
wickedness endeavoring to
lead believer’s astray, and
rejoicing when they have
succeeded in causing them to
fall
WOE TO THAT MAN BY
WHOM THE OFFENCE
COMES
He who leads others into sin
is terribly guilty, woe is a
denouncing of the sinner as
being responsible for the evil
which he introduces or lead
man into sin

13)But woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you shut up the kingdom
of heaven against men; for ye
neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that
are entering to go in

RELIGIOUS LEADERS WHO
SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN AGAINST MEN:
WOE: ANTAGONISM TO
GOD
This is to religious leaders
who reject the revealed word
GOD and replace with their
own Idea and interpretation,
they hunger more for power,
money and money, which
made them lose sight of
GOD, their false doctrine of
outward rituals is speeding
all over the world leading
people to HELL.
JESUS confront their
hypocrisy and sinfulness, like
John the Batiste they distort
the word of GOD by their
practice, falsehood caused
JESUS them with his word:
Ø Hypocrite-(V 15)
Ø Child of hell-(V 15
Ø Blind guides (V 16)
Ø Fools ( V 17)
Ø Extortionist and
excess(V25)
Ø Whited sepulchers (V 25
Ø Uncleanness ( V 25)
Ø Full of iniquity ( V 28)
Ø Serpents ( V 33)
Ø Generation of vipers
Ø Murderers ( V 34)
SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN: By teaching false
doctrines by binding the
people to an observance of
their traditions; and doctrine
by taking away the key of
knowledge preventing the
people from the right
knowledge of GOD making
the word of God of no effect
by their tradition limiting the
presence of GOD and the
entering into heaven.
THE CHARACTER OF
HYPOCRITICAL RELIGIOUS
LEADER: Those who seek to
be noticed, by other, those
who love honor, those who
love title and those who love
money, they are
professional religionist who
appear to be spiritual

8)Wherefore if thy hand or
thy foot offended thee, cut
them off, and cast them from
thee; it is better for thee to
enter into life halt or
maimed, rather than having
two hands or two feet to be
cast into everlasting fire
9)And if thine eye offend
thee, it is better for thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from
thee; it is better for thee to
enter into life with one eye,
rather than having two eyes
to be cast into hell fire
|
WOE TO THAT MAN
Get rid of those thing that
constantly cause you to sin
including offending
members, person or actions.
Remove yourself from the
source of temptation it
better to go to heaven
without enjoying the things
that caused us to sin, then to
enjoy them here and then be
lost in hell
Temptation to sin ,are
sometimes persuading men
to that which is evil and
cause them to stumble and
fall, which is gratifying the
flesh, covetous, stealing,
false hood etc
INTO HELL FIRE-In all this,
that if their sins, however
dear to them, were not
abandoned, the soul must go
into everlasting fire.

24)The SON of man goeth as
it is written of him: but woe
unto that man by whom the
SON of man is betrayed! It
had been good for that man
if he had not been born
25)Then Judas, which
betrayed him, answered and
said Master, is it I? he said
unto him thou hast said.
|
BUT WOE UNTO THAT MAN
BY WHOM THE SON OF MAN
IS BETRAYED
Woe unto that man by
whom the Son of man is
betrayed :
It had been good for that
man if he had not been born,
for such that speak false and
lying words, and regard not
the glory of their creator, it
would have been better for
them that they never come
into the world, or created,
and so to any other notorious
sinner, which signifying , that
it is better to have not been
at all born, than to be
punished with everlasting
destruction; which is the
dreadful case of Judas, who
fell by his transgression.

1)Then said he unto the
disciples, it is impossible but
that offenses will come; but
woe unto him, through
whom they come
2) It were better for him that
a milestone were hanged
about his neck, and he
should offend one of the
little ones
|
THAT OFFENSE WILL COME
BUT WOE UNTO HIM THAT
OFFENSE COME
JESUS- Warned considering
the general corruption of
human nature, the
wickedness of man ,the
snares of the world, and the
temptation of Satan, it must
be, offence will be given and
taken, stumbling blocks will
be laid in the way of such as
we continue in the heavenly
race.
But GOD’S wrath is for
those who offended , abuse,
or lead astray the little once,
new believers, must guide
against, especially the Little
ounce
That stumbling block,
temptations and traps set to
lure one to sin are sure to
come, but judgment is
coming to him through
whom they come
IT WHERE BETTER FOR HIM:
These are weak believers or
newly converted and little
children who are made to
stumbled and fall due to
false teaching, worldliness
and their bad example, in
reality of godliness to offend
the little once.

ROMANS 14:13

13)Let us not therefore judge
one another any more: but
judge this rather, that no
man put a stumbling block or
an occasion to fall in his
brother’s way
|
LET US NOT JUDGE ONE
ANOTHER
Seeing all must be judge by
JESUS CHRIST, let us no more
judge one another meats and
drinks and holyday, Sabbath,
new moon, days times, but
mend this fault
COLOSSIANS 2: 16 -23
STUMBLING BLOCK OR A
OCCASION TO FALL
Nevertheless, notorious,
wickedness, whether in
principle or practice,
whereby society is injured
and GOD dishonored , we
ought not only to judge but
must condemn in our mind
and also rebuke those
sharply who are guilty of it
False and outward teaching
that lead one to hell.

7)howbeit there is not in
every man that knowledge;
for some with conscience of
the idol unto this hour eat it
as a thing offered unto idol;
and their conscience being
weak is defied
8)But meat commendeth us
not to GOD; for neither, if we
eat, are we better; neither, if
we eat not, are we worse
9)But take heed lest by any
means this liberty of yours
become a stumbling block to
them that are weak
|
TAKE HEED LEST BY ANY
MEANS THIS LIBERTY

1 CORINTHIANS 11:19

19)For there must be also
heresies among you, that
they which are approve may
be made manifest among
you
20)When ye come together
therefore into one place, this
not to eat the LORD’S supper
21)For in eating every one
talketh before other his own
supper; and one hungry, and
another is drunken
22)What? have ye not
houses to eat and to drink
in? or despise ye the church
of GOD, and shame them
that have not? What shall I
say to you? Shall I praise you
in this? I praise you not
|
FOR THERE MUST BE ALSO
HERESIES IN THE CHURCH
(selfish conduct)
There were false doctrines
and bad principles, among
them, such as were
subversive of the
fundamentals of glorious
gospel that are more in the
church now, bringing
damnable heresies that is
done by Satan ,which is
always busy to sow the tears
of false doctrine, which by
the wisdom of GOD, are
overruled
THEY EAT AND DRINK THEY
THE CHURCH AND SHAME
THE POOR
Some who brought food
were eating their meal
separately and ignore the
poor and lest in hungry in the
fellowship meal.
You make the Church a place
to be despised and same the
Poor by your conduct,
instead putting the food on a
common table so all could
partake as needed, the rich
ate by themselves and the
poor themselves
The rich shunned the poor
and this lead to division and
strive.

2 THESSALONIANS: 2:9-12
|
9) Even him whose coming is
after the working of Satan
with all power and signs and
lying wonders
10)And with all
deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received
not the love of the truth,
that they might be saved
11)And for this cause GOD
shall send them strong
delusion, that they should
believe a lie
12)That they all might be
damned who believed not
the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness
|
THIS EVIL MAN WILL BE
USED
Even him , whose coming is
after the working of Satan,
according, to the energy and
operation of Satan- Lying
wonder of falsehood ,
deceiver, and a murderer for
their base, essence and aim,
which is through the power
of darkness as we read in
case of the Egyptian
magician.
This evil man will use
counterfeit power and sign
and wonders to deceive and
draw people to himself
AND WITH ALL
DECEIVABLENESS OF
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
There are two ideas here,
the first is that there would
be deceit, and the other is
that it would be for the
purpose of promoting
unrighteousness manage
with great subtlety with
Iniquity to deceive, which will
be maintained by
fraudulent methods.
IN THEM THAT PERISH
BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED
NOT THE LOVE OF THE
TRUTH
This shows who they are
whom the god of this world
has blinded, from whom the
Gospel is hid, and to whom it
is foolishness, that are
deceived by the Satan, they
are deceived because they
have not received the truth
divine revelation of the
glorious gospel of JESUS
CHRIST
AND FOR THIS CAUSE
Because they did not care
and choose error, or their
hearts love the things of the
world and deception more
than truth, hence God gave
them up to the system of
Error, as man strongly
prefers error to truth, and sin
to righteousness.
GOD SHALL SEND THEM
STRONG DELUSION
GOD send them strong
(delusion) misbelief- energy
of deceit, strong deceit, that
they should believe a lie,
GOD left them, because they
did not love the truth, to
believe what was false, and
what would end their
destruction
Who believe not in the truth;
neither the word of truth,
the Gospel of Salvation, nor
JESUS CHRIST who himself is
the truth is to be condemned.
