| 1 | Confound The Wise |
| 2 | It is Judgment, Not Revenge |
Many Christians have heard the scriptural passage of "1 Corinthians 1:27-31" with the interpretation from many Pastors in a Sunday Sermon to mean that God is choosing methods, people and places that are illogical which reflects poorly on God's Majesty. This is not the intention of the scriptural passage when examining carefully.
It is fascinating to read the scriptures on how God handles judgment with all human-beings in life and also at the Judgment Seat of Christ and Great White Thrown of Judgment. At the Great White Thrown of Judgment, Jesus Christ will judge the Fallen Angels and Demons with their destiny to the Lake of Fire.
Throughout the entirety of the scriptures, God is demonstrating His Perfect Wisdom in all things for us to see and know. In 1 Corinthians 1:27-31, the "confound the wise" means to surprise the wise who will recognize the brilliance of God through God's methods. God does not use revenge but instead uses ramifications of evil against those who do wrong that includes the Fallen Angels.
| 1 Corinthians 1:27-31 | 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. |
When Lucifer lead the Fallen Angels on the attempt to usurp God, as described in Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14, then their action initiated a perfect plan to fully expose:
Because of the failed usurping attempt, this caused a wonderful redemption and rewarding to God Himself, the Good Angels, and all human-beings with Salvation that would not have been possible if Lucifer had not initiated the failed usurping attempt. It is important for us to recognize God is exercising His perfect method of Justice without revenge. This is often called the "Purpose of All History" that also applies to God's Angels.
In the entirety of the scriptures on God's plan for handling
the long-term ramifications against Lucifer, Fallen Angels, and Demons that
are all destined to the Lake of Fire,
then we recognize absolutely that God will also administrate justice
at a specific point with evil
done by human-beings. As one example is in Genesis
15:16 regarding the Amorites which were doing evil:
Examples like the evil of the Amorites can teach us to release the desires
for revenge knowing God will have ramifications occur against evil.
Also, God's Perfect Love will protect us and give us
Rewards now and Eternity
for absolutely all undeserved
suffering. All suffering will have the opposite effect of harming us
even unto death, when we don't react with revenge, so that we will be better off
because of the suffering!

What to read next?
What is Salvation? Is it possible to lose Salvation? We have eternal life. Evolution is not real. When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it. Rewards in heaven. Do we Tithe? What does the 3rd Commandment tell us? What is Grace and Mercy? Is there an Age of Accountability? Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
