1st Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Before we begin to delve into our study, let us just take a moment to read and digest the following, in the context of our topic. It’s referring not only to the preaching of the gospel, but also to the two systems that have been put into place by the two great invisible powers of earth that are vying for our minds, decisions, and choices, and these systems are often the triggering mechanism for a feud between fools and wise men.
1st Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1st Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom. 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness. 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1st Corinthians 1:26 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
