Jesus himself said that He was the stumbling block..

The OT declares that since the beginning there was The Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God..

Jesus of the old testament is God the son...there is also God the Father and God the Holy Spirit
Three in one..kind of like those fold out cups...the kind where the three parts compact into one and pull out to reveal a full cup?

God is able throughout the bible to "put on a meat suit..carnal flesh..become human" and walk around..as he appeared to Abraham and had lunch with him (including meat)...

When God became a man he needed to be born of a human mother...in order to satisfy the requirement that a pure sacrifice be made for man's sin nature...in order to redeem those He has and will redeem..

God became a man...and a willing attoning sacrifice...was crucified ..dead ..and buried ..and resurected..He appeared to many....proved to reliable witnesses..including staunch Roman officers...and Jewish officials...many many witnesses to the many miracles and his crucifiction and resurection..

Jesus is the stumbling block...for He said of himself..that No man can come to the Father but by Him..(Jesus) He said that he is the way , the truth, and the light..The only way...The only path..The only truth...

And that is ,imo, what hangs most people up...especially in this era of dogmatic belief that Christianity is "intolerant"....The truth is always intolerant of the lie...it has to be or it is no longer the truth..
