and "A stone to stumble over, and a rock to trip them up." They stumble over the message because they will not obey it; that is their destiny.

as the Scripture says, "See, I will put a stone on Zion to make people stumble, and a rock to trip over, But no one who has faith in it will be disappointed."

I ask then, has their stumbling led to their absolute ruin? By no means. Through their false step salvation has gone to the heathen, so as to make the Israelites jealous.

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to make you stand in his presence irreproachable and triumphant??25 to the one God our Savior be glory, majesty, power, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord now and forever and ever. Amen.

and drank the same supernatural drink??for they used to drink from a supernatural rock which attended them, and the rock was really Christ??5 still most of them disappointed God, for they were struck down in the desert.

But I tell you, your name is Peter, a rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not subdue it.

And why? Because they did not seek it through faith, but through doing certain things. They stumbled over that stone that makes people stumble,
