Not getting offended by God's word is one thing, refusing to be taken advantage of and then being labeled as offended is another.

Actually, Carpenter, this scripture in
Psalm 119:165 uses the word "offend" meaning "stumblingblock". So, the scripture is reading as "Nothing can cause you to stumble if you love His law".
It doesn't have the same meaning as offend in
Psalm 73:15 "to act covertly" or another meaning, "'âsham 'âshêm, to be guilty".
Psalm 119:165 is, usually, taken out of context.
Just wanted to clarify.
