The wisdom and power of God ( 1 Corinthians 1 v 18 - 25 )

I have just looked at a list of Philosophers ,in an national newspaper ,that gives a short ,a very short  , summary of what they believed in, from Aristotle who taught that the only way to achieve a truly happy life, was by forsaking instant gratification in favour of the careful cultivation of virtues.the list ended on a happy note ( I joke ) with what Soren  Kierkegaard believed. He taught ,that all human beings live with despair until they die,whether they know it or not. I will not leave you with that note,it was the Apostle Paul who would have been familiar with Greek Philosophy inspired by Gods Holy Spirit wrote,how that for all their so called wisdom they did not know God.He went on to write how that the wisdom of God ,went beyond any human ability to conceive, it was in a Christ who was crucified.To the wise and the religious of this world,it was foolishness,but in reality it is a manifestation of the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
