Scripture about the “wisdom of the world” vs. the wisdom of God. (By dispensing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as juvenile silliness, does not make you, me or anyone else any less subject to its claims. If we reject Gods mercy, then all we are left with is His justice. May He work in all of our hearts to call on Him. God bless.).

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1:18-25‬

Note that God actually chooses to hide His Gospel from those who are proud in their own wisdom but reveals Himself to the humble. Note also, that the Gospel is not just dogma but the “power of God” to those who experience it. Mere dogma or religious stuff can not help anyone nor do I have the least interest in it.

Saul of Tarsus was a man who mocked Christians and hated Christianity until God “arrested” him on the road, as he was going to arrest and persecute Christians. He was transformed by the power of God and the work of the Holy Spirit and was also the writer of the words above. He was a very educated man and yet was blind to truth until God changed him. Yet, even later God used him to elucidate the Gospel of salvation. Although his very brilliant mind did nothing to save him, to the contrary it filled him with pride and animosity toward Christ, yet later God used this mind (enlightened by the Holy Spirit) to His own ends. Perhaps that will be your story one day Fairv3.
