I Corinthians 1:20: Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
智慧人在哪裡?經學家在哪裡?今世的辯士在哪裡? 神不是使屬世的智慧變成了愚笨嗎?

I Corinthians 2:9: 正如經上所記:“ 神為愛他的人所預備的,是眼睛未曾見過,耳朵未曾聽過,人心也未曾想到的。”
I Corinthians 2:10: 但 神卻藉著聖靈把這些向我們顯明了,因為聖靈測透萬事,連 神深奧的事也測透了。
I Corinthians 2:11: 除了在人裡面的靈,誰能知道人的事呢?同樣,除了 神的靈,也沒有人知道 神的事。
I Corinthians 2:12: 我們所領受的,不是這世界的靈,而是從 神來的靈,使我們能知道 神開恩賜給我們的事。
I Corinthians 2:13: 我們也講這些事,不是用人的智慧所教的言語,而是用聖靈所教的言語,向屬靈的人解釋屬靈的事(“向屬靈的人解釋屬靈的事”或譯:“用屬靈的話解釋屬靈的事”)。
I Corinthians 2:14: 然而屬血氣的人不接受 神的靈的事,因為他以為是愚笨的;而且他也不能夠明白,因為這些事,要有屬靈的眼光才能領悟。
I Corinthians 2:15: 屬靈的人能看透萬事,卻沒有人能看透他,
I Corinthians 2:16: 如經上所記:“誰曾知道主的心意,能夠指教他呢?”但我們已經得著基督的心意了。

But as it is written,
“Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear,
which didn’t enter into the heart of man,
these God has prepared for those who love him.”


I Corinthians 2:10: But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
I Corinthians 2:11: For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God’s Spirit.
I Corinthians 2:12: But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
I Corinthians 2:13: Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
I Corinthians 2:14: Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
I Corinthians 2:15: But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
I Corinthians 2:16: “For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.

This is off topic but it's just so good.

Anyway, a lot of times, I find myself putting up a brave face doing all I can but at the same time I am getting burn by some silly people behind me who are suppose to help me. Through the years, I realized that it's God who we put ALL our trust in, NOT people. That relationship with God is paramount, NOT relationship with people. Why? Because people changes, people can be corrupted, people have diseases and people include all of us. People can lead us astray. We need fellowship but sometimes, all you got is GOD. Your friends might leave you, your family might not support you and all you have is GOD.

Sometimes I wonder why I fight at all. Why put up a fight when people don't even know how to enjoy it. Why work for it when people always find excellent excuses to destroy it? Why bring people to church when the so-called "Christians" are killing one another inside? Am I bringing people to the slaughter house?

I try not to think about that. Just trust God. Just be useful, be of help. I do what I can and let God do the rest.

How can we show God's love when we can't even love each other? Loving is not easy. But we need to make an effort and learn. I actually wonder why God loves us, we are really bad. Just watch the news, local or international and you know what humans are like. We are a mess. Like 鮑維均 said, we are scams or scambags. He actually quoted it from another person, yea, but anyway, we are all scambags so should we be more inclusive and embracing and more forgiving? We shouldn't pick and choose who to care, who to love. In the world that we live in, we are not equal but we are equal under God. What gives us the right for scambags to bad mouth another scambags? Does God give you this right? How we get so arrogant? Maybe it makes us feel better, maybe it is to protect ourselves, maybe it is for advancement, maybe because we are insecure, maybe we are just evil, maybe we are just the devil's advocates, well, we are scambags afterwall.

God forgave us. God is like the rich man who wrote all the huge debt his servant owed him. But many of us are acting like that cruel servant who then went to another person who owed him just a little sum of money.
