Because It is Written In Our Bible
 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 {Updated-NASB}

[18] For the word 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,
AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER
I WILL SET ASIDE."

[20] Where is the wise man?
Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age?
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

[21] For since in the wisdom of God the world through
its wisdom did not come to know God,
God was well pleased through the foolishness
of the message preached to save those
who believe.

[22] For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks
search for wisdom;

[23] but we preach Christ crucified,
to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness,

[24] but to those who are the called, both Jews
and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the
wisdom of God.

[25] Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men,
and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

[26] For consider your calling, brethren,
that there were not many wise according to the flesh,
not many mighty, not many noble;

[27] but 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 which are strong,

[28] and the base things of the world and the
despised God has chosen, the things that are not,
so that He may nullify the things that are,

[29] so that no man may boast before God.

[30] But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus,
who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness
and sanctification, and redemption,

[31] so that, just as it is written,
"LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."


Because It is Written In Our Bible
 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 {Updated-NASB}

[1] And when I came to you, brethren,
I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom,
proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

[2] For I determined to know nothing among you
except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

[3] I was with you in weakness and in fear and
in much trembling,

[4] and my message and my preaching were not in
persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration
of the Spirit and of power,

[5] so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom
of men, but on the power of God.
