"God has chosen the foolish things of this world, (the periods of time we live in) to confound the wise." The unsaved, like the saved, have a wisdom based in something. Yet, we are all limited by our human weaknesses of intellect; and remember, we as Christians are not inspired. Saved Christians do have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us which helps our understanding of scripture to rightly divide the word of truth, but the unsaved do not have that. Whether we are fundamental or liberal or anywhere in between, from one issue to another we could very well be categorized as either the "foolish" or the "wise" in this world and the time we live in. The most educated preacher or university professor can be simultaneously categorized as the "foolish" in this world by God and as the "wise" in this world. Do not flatter yourself to think that you are perfect in all reasoning. We could be right and be wrong in many areas of our understanding and/or application of scripture, yet God in His omniscience uses His Word to accomplish His work. Both preachers and professors should be more humble to admit their cognitive weaknesses, likewise should church members and students. Pray to grow in grace and seek His face, believer, as the process of sanctification in God's timing conforms us little by little into the image of Christ, and remember we won't be like Him until we see Him as He is...i.e. in eternity, not here in this world.
