1 CORINTHIANS 1:18
"THE MESSAGE of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! We who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
There are none so blind as those who will not see. Why is it that the story and message of the cross is so stupid and foolish to those that are on their way to Hell? They are dead and they do not even know it. They think THE MESSAGE is absurd and that God does not even exist. Any rational person who looks up into the nighttime sky at the universe knows in their heart that there is a God and that He is all powerful and mighty. Only a fool says's in his heart there is no God!
Those of us who are being saved and have been saved see things quite differently. Our salvation is the very manifestation of the power of God. He takes us from death and gives us life and that eternally. THE MESSAGE of Christ is that He saves. He is the only way we can be saved. He is the truth and the path and the light to everlasting life. He alone can answer all of our questions. The beginning of wisdom is the fear, knowledge, and love of God. If you do not know God you are a fool.
God destroys the wisdom of the "wise" and He brings nothing to the understanding of the "prudent" that does not know. Have you ever noticed how God baffles and renders useless the philosophies and and cleverness of the fools. God destroys the so call discernment that they profess to have. Not only does He frustrate the fools but He brings them to nothing. He literally sets them aside. How about you, are you still foolish enough not to comprehend God and THE MESSAGE?
