You would think Flynn would understand the statement Jesus made about the millstone more than most. The man seems very scripture based. The millstone has ZERO to do with adults harming children. It has everything to do with new believers. People with a child like Faith. Those who have come to know Christ. I was there myself a few years ago. Like sponges. Soaking everything up. And those who mislead them in their newfound faith in Jesus those who could easily be dismayed. Therefore Jesus warns them. That is what the millstone comment is about. Not adults raping and torturing children. But to those who seek to mislead and ill inform them who have found their savior for the first time, Jesus. Age don’t matter.
I would like to suggest it can definitely have both meanings.
I think as a human being, absolutely, it differs to both. But I feel people lean more towards the actual human factor rather than Jesus’s true intentions. Which I feel are much more important. Many people won’t ever be a child rapist or murderer/torturer of children. But they could find themselves misleading or becoming the one who tried to mislead new believers. I myself had it happen to me. I feel many new believers see this. People would be like, oh me, he joined the cult, lol. Not knowing Jesus’s millstone comment refers to them. They would continue to say this and that, lowering expectations and or saying it’s silly to do these ”religious” things. And what of it worked. And a new believer started to question their new found faith? So where many people would never hurt a child, they don’t recognize hurting a child of God. And especially new believers, the ones Jesus is referring to. As you say, it could easily refer to both. But, I feel, Jesus’s warning here isn’t be taken seriously enough. It’s more impactful. And hits many more of those who are unaware. My thoughts.

Matthew 18:6 ESV / 796 helpful votes
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Romans 12:19
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” Luke 17:2
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Matthew 25:40
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Matthew 18:10
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Yes, that’s scripture.
Translation for the one we’re referring to;
“.Matthew 18:6 is a severe warning from Jesus against causing "little ones"—believers, particularly new or vulnerable ones, who hold childlike faith—to stumble, sin, or abandon their faith. It emphasizes that harming a believer's spiritual growth brings severe judgment, described as better to be drowned with a large millstone.”
