I think Offense may be one of the biggest problems of the latter days.

It's an emotional, physical and spiritual toll that offense costs you.
how to STAY un-offendable.

If you lackest in one you lackest in them all.
Yet, Jesus beholding him loved him as..
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
Romans 3:23
And yet Jesus beholding him, loved him!
Mark Chapter 10:19
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

And yet we know at that time the apostles followed Him gave it their all and did just that. That is what Jesus seemed to be asking of him. Yet, he was unwilling to do that yet Jesus beholding him loved him.

Luke 23:34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

All Ye Shall be Offended

Matthew 24:10
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

It seems that hatred comes about because of offense!
How do we stay Un-Offendable?
For us humans, that does come with us working on ourselves.
Yet being Un-Offendable comes with less stress too.
And as a part of forgiveness for all our shortcomings because as humans we do all have them.
To love like Jesus can be real hard for us but betrayal and hatred comes it seems, by offense.
Will offense be the problem of the latter days?
It seems so in just watching what is going on around the world of now.
People are more offended now then ever, it seems.

Stay-Unoffendable as the problem now with the world is offense and that will destroy any freedom of speech we now have or freedom of expression freedom of thought if one cannot offend anybody and how will that be enforced? By unfair Blasphemy laws and giving others such powers will bring in dictatorship and It seems that hatred comes about because of offense!
How do we stay Un-Offendable?
By knowing what the alternative of that brings that's how.
Enjoy your political freedom?

We read in scripture that to "Stay Un-Offendable" is not always possible. Why? Because as a result of the fall, when Cain slew Abel, the curse has been put on mankind. We all have differing of personalities.

-ROMANS 12:18 / "If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men (women)."

Hi Abigail, ((( Smiles ))))
Yes.. That is totally so true!
That is why we need the love of Jesus of course to get us through life!
So at times we can turn the other cheek yet still be freely and able to speak out!
It is hard at times but something we can strive for in life.
As in look how much Jesus suffered yet had so much forgiveness in His heart. But to love like Jesus is not easy it can be so hard at times. But offense can cause Genocide and so much more our freedoms are at stake of course!
Yes, we all far short of the Glory of God we are only human.
Limitations but blessing's too.

.
That is So right on! (((( Smiles ))))

An Interesting Conversation On The Subject Do we Have The Right To Offend?
Interesting that it is a conversation that seems to be coming from mostly Atheists who have enjoyed the freedom of speech or right to offend. But since what may be offensive varies from person to person and it is a highly complicated issue . Thats why we have the First Amendment that which has held our country together yet "Jesus" predicted the day would come and we seem to be discussing this subject more and more then ever before.
Another signs of the times? Matthew 24:10
