"For example, lots of people use the alcoholic/beer analogy to talk about not being a stumbling block. If you’re going to a friend’s house who really struggles with drinking, you’re not gonna show up with a six pack. Now, even if you do, and that friend gets drunk, it’s not your fault ‘technically’ because everyone is ‘technically’ responsible for all their actions. But still, out of love, and since you know this person, it’d just be dumb to spend the night drinking in front of him. But we take that analogy and spin it to “we should never take a drink anywhere because someone might see us and stumble.” Which is just flat out ridiculous. So, as a result we have all these Christians having a beer with dinner behind closed doors terrified that someone else in their church will find out they drink and then “Stumble” as a result, or that they’ll get called out for doing something somewhere that could possible cause someone to stumble."
