"Thou Shalt Not Put A Stumbling Block Before The Blind"
Leviticus 19:14
There is a great danger
of which we need to be aware. In our zeal to preach the gospel in its purity
and with the necessity of opposing false, free-will, works religion, we must
not lay stumbling blocks before blind sinners which might hinder them in
seeking the Lord. Nowhere in the Bible do I read of preachers, prophets,
apostles, or evangelists saying to sinners, "You must know this doctrine
or that before you can be saved," or "You must see, experience, and
feel this or that before you can be saved." In the Word of God, the
message proclaimed to sinners everywhere is, "Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved." To make any improvement upon or addition
to that is to place a stumbling block before the blind.
