'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. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For 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.' (1 Cor 1:18-21)
May God bless you to believe His gospel by the power of the Holy Spirit
I'll give you two points: One for hiding the bulk of text in your OP under a spoiler button, and one for not being a drive-by. At least you're sticking around to engage with us, for many people that would have been there one and only post on our forum. Thanks for the courtesy.
Some Christians don't sound particularly foolish to us, like Jacob. Maybe it's your approach?
It's easy to write something foolish down and predict that people will find it foolish and only the chosen few will be able to see that it's actually wise.
