In this presentation, we are reminded that while Jews need to see signs, the "Greeks" seek knowledge. However, if we look at the next verse, we see that we who follow Paul are not in either of those two 'categories.' We don't need signs and we don't need the wisdom of the world creating religions.
To a Jew, we are stumbling block to them and the Greeks (Gentiles) look at us and think we are foolish to follow Paul and the KJB Only.
The Gentiles are into the brain element and all that Gentiles can come up with, based on their worldly wisdom, etc. is religion.
Today's modern Christian likes to use their brain power by comparing different bibles, listening to various preachers, church hopping, following the power of music, going to seminaries, various seminars and bible institutes, etc. claiming born-againess and thinking they are a new creation still needing confession, water baptism and Lord's Supper, etc. all because they have to feed their brain.
They are truly into 'wisdom of words,' not meaning KJB words, etc. but words that come from their own mixed up studies creating new doctrines and redefining and redesigning sound doctrine.
We read in Corinthians what God really thinks of man's brainy wisdom and if you don't already know, I can tell you He is not impressed - not even in the slightest
But God considers us Paul following KJB only 'goodness of God' believers as 'peculiar' people. I'll talk about that again in the next presentation, but we can truly find out who we really are and why we don't fit in with the modern Christian scene. So this is sort of a warm up introduction to who we really are, some of God's peculiar people.
And by the way, peculiar doens't mean odd or weird, although to many people, they think we are weird! Peculiar means we belong to God and He to us. Simple, eh and yet the Gentiles are relying on their own studies and self-made wisdom to live that Christian life but think what we believe is foolish.
And the Jews? They are the enemy to Paul's gospel of the risen Saviour. They don't even believe that Jesus was the son of God and so today, they are blinded - so simply put, they can't believe now. They will get their opportunity during the tribulation.
ya - this should be an interesting presentation to some of you, especially you 'peculiar' people. You born-againers will just laugh and flash your brainy knowledge of how wrong I am, based on your own scholarship. O ye of little faith!
Such is life these days, eh!
