1 | Are jews the wisest? | 1 Corinthians | vkey | 28577 | ||
Are the Jews the wisest of all of today's people? Ofcourse as believers in Christ, we all are blessed with wisdom through the Holy Spirit. But as a community are the Jews the wisest in areas of science, terchnology, war, business? (America is built on Jews, isnt it?) |

vkey, If you are speaking on being a Jew. A Jew is a resident of Jerusalem only. It is not a specific race, or ethnic background and never has been. In Jerusalem or in other cities all over the world speak many different languages. I'm from California, so I'm a Californian. Anyway on the day of Pentecost in Acts2:6, After being filled with the Holy Spirit in verse 4,the spirit gave them utterance in verse 5, And there were dwelling at Jerusalem (Jews), devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Verse 6, but heard them speak in their own language, in their own tongue from where they were born. So that's the story on being a Jew. Now as for the question on whether they are more wise than every other person on the earth is just not true. Look at what is going on over in that neck of the woods, let's not even touch that. Even if we were to say different ethnic backgrounds it still doesn't justify the color of the flesh, and different languages is spoken. Words are all the same just sounding different in translation. Unless someone's has achieved some cosmic language from outer space somewhere. But on this planet. Sorry. And maybe having a darker complexion attracts specific smart rays, waves from the sun and it goes to your brain. Sorry. Get my meaning? To elevate one self of them believing they are wise in this world, God says they are made foolish. Not my words, but God's. 1 Cor.1:19,20. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20) Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 1 Cor. 2:1-4, And I brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2) For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3) And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4) And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of POWER. The only wisdom that is worth anything is the true wisdom of our Father in Heaven. 1Cor.2:10, But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the DEEP things of God. As In science, technology, war and in business, this wisdom of this world is also a gift of the Father in Heaven. And even it wasn't, all this is temporal and will pass away and come to nought. I remember so vivdly in the Ten Commandment when Charlton Heston (Moses) said to Pharoah, Let my Jews GO!! (uh, I mean People) Serenetime | ||||||
