For to those who are perishing, the preaching of the
cross is foolishness, 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 will bring to
nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
1 Corinthians 1:18-19, Modern English Version (MEV)
One thing I've never really understood is why any believer would attempt to debate Scripture with a non-believer. Until an non-believer has a saving encounter with Jesus, the Word of God will always be considered foolishness no matter how eloquent a speaker the believer may be unless, of course, the believer believes they have a better way with words that God does. Man has puffed themselves up in thinking that human reasoning and rational thinking can reveal and prove everything, even the existence of God. Now who's being foolish?
