Bible Comments

The Wisdom of God and the Foolishness of Men.

The foolishness of the Gospel-message:

1 Corinthians 1:17-19

17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words,c lest the cross of Christ should be made of none 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.
