Do Not Be Fooled by "the Wisdom of This World"

"The wisdom of this world is a foolishness with God." - 1 CORINTHIANS 3:19.


WE CAN face any challenge-all because Jehovah is our Grand Instructor.  ( Isaiah 30:20, 21)  His Word give us everything we  need to be "fully competent" and " completely equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:17) When we live by Bible teachings, we become wiser than those who promise "the wisdom of this world." - 1 CORINTHIANS 3:19; PSALM 119:97-100.

As we will see, the wisdom of this world  often appeals to our fleshly desires. So we might find it difficult  to resist thinking and acting like those who part of the world.  For good reasons, the Bible says:  "Look our that no one takes you captive by means of the philosophy and empty deception according to human tradition." (Colossians 2:8)  In this article, we will examine the history of how two empty deceptions, or lies, became popular. In each case, we will see why the wisdom of the world is foolishness and how the wisdom of God's Word is far superior to anything the world offers.
