I don't think you will ever see God with that attitude.
You say God makes threats. To mankind or to you?
If you don't believe in the bible than of course you don't believe but there is hope for all unbelievers.
Maybe one day you will re-examine your decisions about God and humble yourself before him...........
I would like to see God. Yet I find there is noone on the entire planet with any knowledge of God, as in there is either no God or noone has that knowledge. I'm still looking for God. But after so long I have become weary. Why God Why
"Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
I have yet to see myself shame someone stronger or wiser.
God seems to be taking a long time in carrying out his threatening.
So because i'm weak and foolish I feel chosen by the bible. God use me to shame the wise and strong. I think this would be fun.
What are the weak and foolish things?
The bible doesn't seem to be working.
People are suffering and dying everyday. This suffering can be intensive.
I've struggled for a long time with the truth of the bible yet i'm still no closer to any answers.

1 Corinthians 1:27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
What do you know about this scripture?
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. (1 Corinthians 1:18-25 NIV)
Basically it means this:

What do you know about this scripture? What have you been taught and what is your knowledge of these words.
I'm definitely foolish and weak. I have yet to see myself shame someone stronger or wiser.
I guess i'm just curious as to how this could work.

It's like betting on the underdog and seeing him win.
But yep. What knowledge and love can you spread on this scripture? What ideas do you have and consider about it? What are the weak and foolish things?

It's possibly unfortunate that I advocate science and technology. It seems to be superior to God who for all intense purposes isn't existing.
I don't know how I can any longer support the weight of God and his theory of being.

I know that evil exists. Perhaps this is the wise and strong that needs to be shamed. For evil on this planet seems very strong indeed but I wouldn't call evil wise.
How do you see God enacting this scripture? What is your interpretation.
I have just rambled really. I would just like your thoughts of the above scripture. I myself feel and am foolish and weak. A God would suit me just fine. Anyway post your thoughts.
