Christ Crucified, a Stumbling Block to Jews and Folly to Gentiles

C 1^st Comment

I submit to you that, I Corinthians 1:18 - 31 presents perhaps the single most plain, succinct, and simple explanation for why we Christians need to stay out of ditches.  Should a Christian adhere to Judaic dietary laws, customs and practices?  Should Christians be “Torah Observant”?  Should Christians exclusively seek intellectual wisdom?

Is it possible in one’s quest to relinquish our Western Hellenistic (intellectual, “I believe”) way(s) of thinking, in favour of a more Hebraic (spiritual, “I do”) way of thinking, for one to become so caught up in not in being stuck on intellectualizing everything, that one eventually winds up intellectualizing spirituality?  Paul wrote in I Corinthians 1:22 that – “Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom” and then Paul continues in verse 23 – “but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles”.  We Christians, humankind in general, seem to seek to have things ever more increasingly codified.  Paul said:
