Untenable Offenses

(Pr 18:19)

19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

Another Translation-

(Pr 18:19)

[19] An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city.

Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.

The scripture is not sanctioning Offenses nor the results of someone that is Offended…

But rather the Results of Offenses as Facts, Untenable as they may be!

The Correction is so Great as to be Compared to conquering a strong city… Wow!

The Wisdom here given by God, is that the

(Offender and the Offended )

Both are in an Untenable and Disastrous Stalemate-

Stalemate Between Themselves-

And Both on The Outs With God According to Scriptural Teaching and Doctrines…

Wisdom-

Don’t be the Offender to the Offended
