" The gospels were written by men that were barely literate in their native Hebrew "

But with the power of the Holy Spirit and the message of the Gospel they tuned their world upside down.

Noticed that ? they didn't go to seminary school, they were not puffed up in their pride in their education, they were un edumacated.
You see ? the ways of man, the systems of this world has placed education up on a pillar and worshiped education, man's intellect as GOD.

The systems of this world, those who are proud in their ways, the haughtiness of man's abilities, his intellect, those so called " Experts " in all things tend to forget what the bible has to say about that....

Yes TBP, God has a lot to say, God's word has a lot to say about these so called " Scholar world renowned experts "

Read here and see what God has to say.

1 Corinthians 1: 18 - 25

Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom

18. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19. For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
See that TBP ? read on.

20. Where is the wise person?

See that TBP ? read on.

Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

Oh yes, that's a repudiation of Man's so called " wisdom " man's so called " Intellect " and come to think of it ? look where man's wisdom has got us ?

21. For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him,

See that TBP ? read on.

God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

See that TBP ? read on.
The wisdom of this world disdains the message of the cross, this world's so called wisdom and intellect disdains God's word and wants to discredit it... but it can not.

22. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom,

The hard headed, stiff necked, hard hearted, knuckle heads refuse to believe and keep asking for a sign, and the philosophers, the so called experts are all in Alice in Wonder la la land dreaming all kinds of imaginary things.

23. but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
Yes, but we preach Christ ? and him crucified, it's a stumbling block to those who refuse to believe and foolishness to this world's so called " Experts " and philosophers because it's not compatible to their human reasoning, or worldly wisdom.

24. but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

Did you get that TBP ? need to take a double take on that one... God ? if it were even possible ? God's foolishness is wiser, greater, than man's top of the line, would renown, so called experts.

Homer Simpson,, hand on forehead....Doope !
WOW ! See that TBP ? a real eye opener, isn't it ?

Now your getting it buddie.

Read on TBP.... read on my friend.

26 to 31

26. Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.
Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. see that TBP ? no so called world renown bible experts there.
Read on my friend, read on.
27. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
28. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,
29. so that no one may boast before him.
30. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
31. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

No one can boast in the sight of God, but if your going to boast ? let the one who does boast boast in the Lord, boast in God's love for you.
