1 Corinthians 1:
17 For Christ did not send me 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 message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Christian Sophistry Will Perish
19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing
the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age?
Has not God made the wisdom of this world foolish?
Traditions Of Man Reject Truth for Worldly Wisdom
Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well you reject the commandment of God,
that you may keep your own tradition.
Luke 7:
29 And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God,
having been baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not
having been baptized by him.
Hear and Speak by the Spirit of Truth
Luke 10:16 He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who
rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.
John 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges
him; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
1 Timothy 5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
1 Thessalonians 4:8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God,
who has also given us His Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
John 16:
13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth;
for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and
He will tell you things to come.
14 He will glorify Me, for He will take what is Mine and declare it to you.
15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine
and declare to you.
Receive Wisdom From Above
John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it has been given
to him from heaven.
James 3:
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that
his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.
14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie
against the truth.
15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing
to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
1 Corinthians 11:23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you...
