Good question.

I think intention is a point to consider. We cannot live in paranoia. We have not disobeyed scripture to refrain while around others who disagree if we did not intend such a thing to happen. Some things are unavoidable, and we simply must abandon them totally. But it can get to a choice of whether we want to be involved with some churches.

I also think the issue regards offending someone as to to actually offend. OFFEND means to actually cause to stumble, and move someone towards losing salvation.
