Becoming a Christian doesn't mean throwing away your brain. It does mean crucifying your need to be brainy
In becoming a Christian, don't throw away your brain. You'll need it in order to become consistently and biblically foolish
Paul did not seek credibility from the wise, he sought to shame them - thru the foolishness of the gospel #1Corinthians

"New life is not a condition of the gospel it’s the offer."
I just scanned them. This one caught my eye because it is wrong.
There is no offer. It (the gospel) is a declaration.
It is a reality that some hear and receive this "new life"…and others do not.
Really? Paul repeatedly characterizes it as a "promise" (Galatians 3:14-22)
Right. It's a promise. Not an offer.
He's not offering (and therefore we need to act on the offer)…He is promising it. He is giving it. He is announcing it.
