The problem is exacerbated when we consider that God has revealed the depths of supernatural wisdom in plain workingman's clothes. The scorn and derision of unbelievers have caused a reactionary tendency of believers to desperately want to dress the gospel up in philosophical clothes, to make it more respectable. Human achievement is limited. Once in a long while, a mere mortal will make a great discovery. These discoveries pale compared to the power of the Almighty Creator.
Men are inclined to worship the human spirit.
Nevertheless, man's capacity to determine the will of God does not reside in his own unaided powers. That does not mean the revealed message lacks power to do what it was intended to do. Truth is more powerful than a nuclear arsenal, an oppressive government, or a tight network of secret police. It is also more powerful than Satan's propaganda mills, which continue to churn out lies. The truth of Christ does not need to be repackaged in garb that makes it more respectable to sinners whose pride blinds them to the light.
