Will God judge me (punish me) for that?

PP, most people walk away from God through disobedience, not because their pastor made a mistake. If you are following His Word, how can you cause someone to stumble? I left the church for a long time, because I was offended by the truth. In other words my pastor didn't make a mistake or offend me. But my spirit was offended because I was not right with God. And when I heard the truth I avoided and even rebelled against it. That is why I pray now for a clean heart and right spirit with God.
