HaHaHa...God's revelation to man creates shallow Christianity...
While the intellectuals and philosophers have it all figured out...
1Co 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
1Co 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
I guess you are the anti-type of the apostle Paul...If one has never read the bible you may be able to gain some traction...But for us who have read the bible, out you go with the bathwater...
This gets shallower by the minute. A cascade of quotations about not trusting the “wisdom of men.” Christ here was talking about the secular world of men. But even this much seems to escape neophyte interpretations.
Perhaps then you should toss away “your” Bible because it was put together by the early Church fathers/theologians (”wisdom of men”) under infallible Petrine authority. More to the point, if you must doubt Petrine authority, then surely you must doubt whether the early Church fathers got it right when they assembled the books in the Bible. Maybe they “foolishly” (”wisdom of men”) included some books which they should have excluded and/or excluded some that should have been included.
And while on the subject of not trusting the wisdom of men, you ought to tell Matthew to go take a hike when he conveyed Christ’s instruction to teach in Matthew 28:20
“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.”
The ONE true Catholic Church “teaches” us just as it taught the world that the books it selected reflects the true Word of God. That SOLE and ONE “teaching authority” does not have an expiry date nor has it been overcome by the evil of Protestantism centuries later.
Some wisdom here from the renowned English essayist, Hillaire Belloc in his book “The Great Heresies,” where he wrote that like other heresies, Protestantism “spawned a cluster of heresies.”
The saints of the Catholic Church among whom are a constellation of theologians must be dismissed as the “wisdom of men.”
Perhaps, you can now see for yourself why many of your eminent Protestant and Episcopalian theologians decamped and converted to Catholicism leaving the foolish men beyond at the shallow end of the theological pool thrashing about trying to make sense of it all by creating a salad of quotations.
