when you read the word "stumble" in the Bible what do you take that to mean -
my opinion is that it is similar but not equal to sin - we do the wrong thing we sin
we fall away from God we stumble - I take stumble to be a more broad meaning of sin not something specific that someone might do
what do you think

Psalm 119:105
[ n Nun ] Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path
Ever walk through an unfamiliar place when it is dark? We stumble when we dont rely on God for guidance

You are right but there is also a stumbling block, which is to cause some else to sin. Get a Strong's Concordance and use it. The Strong's takes the words of the bible back to the original languages and gives you the correct meanings. It will be a tremendous help to you.

If you have "stumbled" in the sense that you are asking, you have fallen away from God. Whether it be in a broader sense of sin or specific, it would all be the same.
To God no sin is greater than any other.
Just my view on the subject .............

I think it means to trip but not to fall. We make decisions. We live with our consequences, and can not change that. But we can learn, we can do better the next time. We can also learn from history, so we do not make the same errors as those before us.

a stumbling block, something which others can put in our way or something which we find difficult within ourselves, which can cause us to stumble.
Remember, God is always willing to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

it means fallen to the ground. You have known the truth about God yet you do not want to accept him and do not believe in him, so you were taken by satan against the truth

stumble
to strike the foot against something, as in walking or running, so as to stagger or fall; trip.
