I'm not at all sure I follow you here. In any case, when the word SKANDALON
appears in Mark it is applied to Peter for "thinking the things of men and not the
things of God" with respect to the adequacy of suffering as the means by which God
would have the Messiah fulfill the Messianic Mission (Mk. 8:27-33).
I see nothing about the EKKLESIA here.
