The foolishness of man's wisdom

The foolishness of man’s wisdom

Despite of all what should be known with regards to the wisdom of men, people who should know better continue to place their confidence and faith in man’s wisdom instead of having their confidence and faith in the wisdom and power of God.

We have been duly admonished saying; “Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness"; and again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile." Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours” (1Corinthians 3:18-21).

We have been further admonished saying; “For since the creation of the world His (God’s) invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:20-22).

The word also states; “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. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom” (1Corinthians 1:19-22).

As one can clearly see the wisdom of this world which seems right to a man but its end is the way of death is what many of the so called believers in Jesus Christ choose to place their trust in and intimidating others to do the same. But let us take the Corona Virus pandemic as an example of the futility of man’s wisdom, the origin or the root cause of the Corona Virus is man’s wisdom, whether it is intentionally or accidentally manufactured, the crux of the matter is, science, man’s wisdom is the root cause of this pandemic.

Yet still, man is being solicited and even trying to mandate that people follow the science and take vaccines manufactured from the very same source and the root cause of the pandemic, which is also the root cause of the variants which are obviously derived from a struggle and conflict in mutation between the virus and the vaccines. How more ironic can this be: Seeking from the very enemy, a remedy and a solution for the virus, its variants and vaccines which they have either intentionally or accidentally manufactured to obtain their objectives. What a joke! This is truly exposing the stupidity of man’s wisdom which unfortunately so many are blind to perceive. What a tragedy and stupidity?

But thankfully, there is a consolation; “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence” (1Corinthians 1:25-29).

My amazement is seeing those who profess to be believers in Jesus Christ placing so much confidence and faith in the wisdom of men instead of having their confidence and faith in the power of God. Thankfully, I consider myself to be among the foolish, weak and base things of this world whom God has chosen to put to shame and expose those who are mighty.
