Being intelligent and having an attitude of intellectualism is not the same, but I suppose with your limitations, you can't understand the distinction.

I understand it much more than you might think. Every time you allude to your alleged intelligence, you make a fool of yourself.

I wasn't referring to any attitude of intellectualism when I made the statement. Confusing the supposed "attitude" of intellectuals with the use of intellect is only muddying the waters for the sake of splitting hairs.

As far as Jesus' "anti-intellectualist" attitude:

Romans 11:25 "I do not want you to be ignorant..."

1 Corinthians 10:1 "For I do not want you to be ignorant..."

1 Corinthians 12:1 "Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.."

1 Corinthians 15:4 "there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame"

1 Thessalonians 4:13 "Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant..."

1 Peter 2:15 "For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men..."

2 Peter 3:16 "His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction."
