It affects this because while it may be acceptable to risk offending your fellow man, but even to dare presume to suggest offending the Sovereignty of the Universe Who is so high above us we can’t even grasp how great He is?! Perish the thought!
Interesting, because some were offended in the Bible. But then they offended God. It's just amazing.
Notice what Isaiah 65 says:
I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me;
I was found by those who did not seek Me.
I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’
to a nation that did not call My name.
2All day long I have held out My hands
to an obstinate people,
who walk in the wrong path,
who follow their own imaginations,
3to a people who continually
provoke Me to My face,
sacrificing in the gardens
and burning incense on altars of brick,
4sitting among the graves,
spending nights in secret places,
eating the meat of pigs
and polluted broth from their bowls.
5They say, ‘Keep to yourself,
do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’
Such people are smoke in My nostrils,
a fire that burns all day long.
6Behold, it is written before Me:
I will not keep silent,
but I will repay;
I will pay it back into their laps
7both for your iniquities
and those of your fathers,”
