Wisdom of this world

Wisdom of this world – 1 Cor 3:18-19

Vs 18 – Paul points out that the wisdom of this world is nothing but deception.  It is the fool that follows the wisdom, standards and values of the world.  Instead a person should be a fool to this world and wise unto God.  The wisdom of the world says that man is the measure of all things, that passion and possession are the way to abundant life.  To become wise you must abandon the wisdom of man and choose to fear the Lord because this is the beginning of wisdom.

Vs 19 – The wisdom of this world in foolishness in God’s sight.  Mankind can come up with all sorts of fables, tales and truths and all are foolish.  God catches the wise in their craftiness.  Apart from God all wisdom of men appeals to the five senses or their author is satan.  All false religions no matter what brand of name they have is satanic in origin.  Only Jesus Christ can give you eternal life.  All other religions are satanic in origin and end in separation from God.
