It is, stop that, don't want to do that, Moria is foolishness, that's where we get moron, moronos, foolishness, so the message doesn't change, the message that is being communicated, is always the logos to staru, the message of the cross, and indeed to the perishing ones, it is Moria, but here's your day, to the being saved ones, us, there's textual variant there, we won't go into that right now, to us who are being saved, it is the power, the dunamis theu, the power of God, the power of God, so it's the same message, one message was delivered to the Corinthians, and there are two groups that heard it, not three groups, the theory that was being presented, is that Paul comes to Corinth, and you have differing groups of Corinthians, and the idea is that some people, had given themselves over to sin so much, that to them, they can't ascertain these things, but that then there were other, non regenerate, not yet saved individuals, who are still good enough in and of themselves, that they can respond and follow Jesus, that's what was being presented, now follow us through, so we have two groups here in verse 18, and then we have the quotation for, it stands written, Paul's going to demonstrate this in scripture, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise ones, and the understanding of the understanding ones, I will set aside, where then is the sophos, the wise one, where is the scribe, the person of letters, where is the disputer, could be debater, of this age, has not God, made foolish, a Moran in, the wisdom of the world, worldly wisdom, God has made it foolishness, and the answer is yes, God has made the wisdom of this world foolishness, oh I wish I had the other program up, let's hope that this still here, and no it isn't, okay, I should have used, I need to change my settings here in Olive Tree, it can scroll the other way, but has not God made foolish, for sense in the wisdom, and see the Greek, the English is a little bit bigger than the Greek, so it's not fitting here, for sense in the wisdom of God, I didn't want to do that, yes, sense in the wisdom of God, the world did not through its wisdom, come to know God, then, God was well pleased, the foolishness of the message preached, to save those who believe, okay, so someone might say, see right there, that's actually making the point, because you have, God was pleased, to save those who believed, and actually, sorry about that, I'm not having fun with the Greek over here, for some reason, there we go, so, save the believing ones, see, there it is, it was totally up to them, they have their free will, and it was their action, that determined it, is that what's being said, well, we'll see here in a moment, for, he says, that the Jews, seek signs, and the Greeks, are seeking after Sopheon, wisdom, but we proclaim, Christ, having been crucified, a crucified Messiah, to the Jews, a scandal on, to the Gentiles, foolishness, but what, our toys, day toys, clay toys, but to the, called ones, whether, notice the take high, whether Jew, or Greek, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God, to the called ones, to those who are, called, that message, of the cross, becomes, what, to those who are perishing, whether Jew or Greek, it's either gonna be a scandal on, or foolishness, but what makes the difference, called, called, called, whether Jew or Greek, Christ becomes, one thing, the power, and the wisdom, of God, so whether Jew or Greek, in other words, your ethnic background, has nothing to do with anything, no identity politics here, Christ is the one thing, to everyone, so the foolishness of God, is wiser than man, and the weakness of God, is stronger, than man, and so then, Paul can say to, the Corinthians, consider your calling brethren, there were not many wise, according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, but God has chosen, God has chosen, the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and God has chosen, the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are strong, and the base things of the world, the despised God has chosen, to nullify the things that are, that what, no man, may boast, before God, but it is, by his doing, his doing, that you, are in Christ Jesus, X out two, X out two, that you are in Christ Jesus, not your doing, it is by his, not just making it possible, remember this whole section started, one message, to those perishing, foolishness, those being saved, the very power of God, and what determines which group you're in, well, man centered religion says, you do, biblical religion says, God, it is by, his doing, you're in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, redemption, that just as it is written, let him who boasts, boast in his own ability, to have properly recognized, and done the right thing, no, that's not what it says, let him who boasts, boast in the Lord, this, illustrates once again the reality, that you will not be able to have, a, hi, over here, you will not be able to have, a biblical doctrine of man, if you do not first have, a biblical doctrine of God, and his relationship to his own creation, if you start with man, if you start with man, you will always end up with a man sized God, you will always end up with a man sized God, that's just all there is to it, you will never get to the truth, of the divine trinity, by starting with man, and trying to work up from there, every form of Pelagianism, man centeredness, Mr. McGrew's theology, starts with man, it will never ever rise up to, a truly biblical doctrine of God, because it starts with man, it starts with man, so I want to look at some of these key texts, hopefully to provide some important, understanding of what they're referring to, and looking at them in this way, went a little bit longer than I had intended to, but once again my sincere thanks to, Tom Buck for joining us, in the first hour of the program, Stephen Boyce, Dr. Stephen Boyce is supposed to be with us, next Tuesday, Rich just said the next sacrifice, no you're going to have a whole new computer, back there and everything ready to go, by next Tuesday, oh just get it on the way home man, that's all there is to it, used to be able to go buy fries, can't do that anymore, no no they don't exist anymore, oh okay yes, we will have a computer, that will not have to go, just to keep up with everything, we're asking it to do, and I'm not talking about my little thing, of a Bobby here, but Dr. Stephen Boyce, is doing work right now, on 1st Clement, the epistle of Clement to the church at Rome, church at Corinth, from the church at Rome, and I have that in accordance, we're going to put it up on the screen, we're going to be talking about, some of the key texts from Clement, that are really interesting, and fascinating and stuff like that, again pushing the tech, and figuring out okay, that didn't work well, let's try this over here, and doing our testing, and then on Thursday, did I tell you?
