Bible Note: I just posted this same note to Hank. Take a look. Quoted from Paul, probably the wisest human this side of the cross. 1 Cor 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." 20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. I could also quote the last few chapters of Job with all the unanswerable questions from God. I'd be interested in seeing your answers to that quiz. Care to try? If you'll consider my statement a little more carefully, maybe with an open mind, you may discover another meaning between "I don't really know for certain and I think...they really do exist." Hint: God is spiritual. Please re-consider these thoughts and get back to me. God bless. --Rowdy |
