People mock what they do not understand. The world by wisdom knew not God. Are some too smart to believe????

Question

Sad, but I think some people are too wrapped up in material senses to be able to have faith. Do you agree???????????

Answer 1

Absolutely!

1Cr 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

The OH! so brainy ones don't realize that they make this scripture so true.

Answer 2

Agree

Answer 3

Your statements are looking more like questions.

A few less question marks and you will be on your way.

Your opinion is your opinion. No one could or should try to change you.

But it is a big world out there and many billions of people have lived and died before this time. Many tens of thousands books of history, of wisdom have been written. Why not reading a few? It will certainly help you frame better questions.

Cheers

Answer 4

Well yea it's the parable of the sower and that the cares of this world choke people out of their faith or the crows taking them right off the roadway. The fear people have dealing with what they do not understand is transferred into a hatred of that thing in many cases.
Paul wrote in Phillipians That he counts all things lost in order that he may gain Christ. The world will always try to drag us away from knowing Christ.

Answer 5

to communicate in metaphors and parables is poetry divine because of the fact it helps the reader to become the two instructor and inspired student on a similar time. You interpret Jesus' words any way you prefer and you're applicable considering the fact which you get to interpret them. those words are meant for you, the place you're as we communicate on your existence, they communicate to you, they're for you, in the here and now. What splendor!!! The scriptures you quoted above propose very various issues to me now whilst in comparison with what they used to signify. it incredibly is the dazzling thing approximately metaphors and parables of God; they're alive and in the 2nd! For the guy. There very own previous your fashionable track and soothing like the celebrities on a comfortable clean summer time's night. If there is irony in those scriptures for you, would I propose you're taking them much less actually and look inward to how they communicate to you . . . no count if your atheist or theist, those words are profound! locate that which skill for you and be comforted.

Answer 6

Ach, thirty years of practice and a couple of degrees, including seminary, suggest that I do actually understand.

But some times, some of the Good Christians here set themselves up all too well for a bit of humour and it's just too tasty to resist.

That comes of living in Scotland btw; my intelligence only makes my jokes better.

Answer 7

True. The wisdom of this world cannot comprehend the greatness of God. God's things are foolish and unsensible to the modern day man who seeks logic in everything. Morden day man walks by sight and faith is totally out of the picture

Answer 8

we get too clever , the clever ape as a scientist would say,
Jesus said to be as children ,when we ''grow up '' we prove we really can become deaf and blind finding reasons not to believe ,
belief makes things happen,
whether we believe its man [science]
or gods natural; wonders ,
children see the wonders [the fruits]
others see only a tree [a way to the means]
science sees the root apart from the bark as separate from the pulp and even divides the leaves into type , the branches are sorted and named
yet fail to see the wonder a child can see
that wonder a child knows is a tree
one that can set us all free
or feed the world
or turn carbon dioxide into oxygen , and fruit

Answer 9

So you're saying that god is born of man's ignorance? I agree with that....a way to explain what was not understood. Just like the way we lie to our children and tell them Santa Clause brings them presents, and we go to great lengths to perpetuate this lie, b/c it's easier than explaining the truth, or b/c we think it's funny to mislead them, who knows? It's not an issue of "too smart to believe" but, rather an issue of strong enough to not require the crutch of religion, and responsible enough to face the consequeces of one's own actions, as opposed to pretending that some how someone bigger and stronger than us will make it all better before we go night-night.

Answer 10

Yes, I am too smart to believe.

I don't see a lot of faith among believers here, though. Mostly they insist that they have evidence for their beliefs.
