  • I have found Christian dogma
  • unintelligible. Early in life I absented
  • myself from Christian assemblies.
  • Benjamin Franklin

5
1 Corinthians 118-25
  • You can't convince a believer of anything for
    their belief is not based on evidence, it's based
    on a deep seated need to believe.
  • Carl Sagan

  • B. He made worldly wisdom worthless (21-24).

7
1 Corinthians 118-25
  • It took time for the church to come to terms
    with the ignominy of the cross. Church fathers
    forbade its depiction in art until the reign of
    the emperor Constantine, who had seen a vision of
    the cross and who also banned it as a method of
    execution

8
1 Corinthians 118-25
  • Now, though, the symbol is everywhere artists
    beat gold into the shape of the Roman execution
    device, baseball players cross themselves before
    batting, and candy confectioners even make
    chocolate cross for the faithful to eat during
    Holy Week.

9
1 Corinthians 118-25
  • Strange as it may seem, Christianity has become
    a religion of the cross the gallows, the
    electric chair, the gas chamber, in modern
    terms.
  • Philip Yancey

  • A. He made wise people foolish
  • (19-20).
  • B. He made worldly wisdom worthless (21-24).

    (25).
