From Gary... What if the "wrong end of the telescope" really is the right way after all?

Some say Christianity is "Nonsense".  Some simply choose NOT TO BELIEVE!!! They use their own cultured intelligence aided by the knowledge that the LEARNED, KNOW better than to believe such nonsense and therefore harden their hearts.  BUT, they are wrong!!!  Of all the beliefs out there, Christianity alone is founded on facts.  Jesus really lived, died and rose again. This is extremely well documented and only the foolish would dare to contradict this fact.  However, the "great ones" will always seem great to themselves and therein lies the problem....

1 Corinthians, Chapter 1

18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.  19 For it is written, 
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

  20  Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?  21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.  22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,  23 but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,  24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.  25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; 27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;  28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:  29 that no flesh should boast before God.  30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:  31 that, according as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” 

Think you are smart- there is always someone smarter!!! Someone who looks at things so differently than you do that their genius is not always discernible.  Again, no matter how smart THEY are, they have limitations and faults. The most obvious is their mortality.  God is omniscient (all-knowing) and eternal.  Knowing all forever is impossible for a mere human to compete with.  The Dr. Suess poster above is cute, but it does led me to one very serious conclusion: I should not take myself too seriously; but should consider God very carefully!!!  

Remember....

31 that, according as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
