Where in the Bible does it say Jesus is scandal or stumbling block.
I think it says something like this: a stumbling block for Jews and scandal for Greeks.
But I cannot recall if I have the order mixed up.
THANKS!
Is this what you’re looking for? Many translations have stumbling block instead of discouragement. But I’m betting this is the passage you’re after.
1 Corinthians 1: 22 Here are the Jews asking for signs and wonders, here are the Greeks intent on their philosophy; ***23 but what we preach is Christ crucified; to the Jews, a discouragement, to the Gentiles, mere folly; ***24 but to us who have been called, Jew and Gentile alike, Christ the power of God, Christ the wisdom of God. 25 So much wiser than men is God’s foolishness; so much stronger than men is God’s weakness. 26 Consider, brethren, the circumstances of your own calling; not many of you are wise, in the world’s fashion, not many powerful, not many well born. 27 No, God has chosen what the world holds foolish, so as to abash the wise, God has chosen what the world holds weak, so as to abash the strong.[5] 28 God has chosen what the world holds base and contemptible, nay, has chosen what is nothing, so as to bring to nothing what is now in being; 29 no human creature was to have any ground for boasting, in the presence of God. 30 It is from him that you take your origin, through Christ Jesus, whom God gave us to be all our wisdom, our justification, our sanctification, and our atonement; 31 so that the scripture might be fulfilled, If anyone boasts, let him make his boast in the Lord.
