For those thinking we are foolish for rejecting our traditional religion or old religious background to belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified which they tag *white-man's religion*:

"let it be known and clearly understood by all of you, and by all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you [demanded be] crucified [by the Romans and], whom God raised from the dead—in this name [that is, by the authority and power of Jesus] this man stands here before you in good health. 11 This Jesus is the stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief Cornerstone. 12 *And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among people by which we must be saved [for God has provided the world no alternative for salvation]*.” (Acts. 4:10-12 amp) .......

“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him]." (John 3:16-18 amp).....

"At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth [I openly and joyfully acknowledge Your great wisdom], that You have hidden these things [these spiritual truths] from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants [to new believers, to those seeking God’s will and purpose]." (Matthew 11:25 amp).......

"For since the world through all its [earthly] wisdom failed to recognize God, *God in His wisdom was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached [regarding salvation] to save those who believe [in Christ and welcome Him as Savior]*." (1 Corinthians 1:21 amp)....

Nobody can believe this GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED with *its seeming foolishness* unless GOD THE FATHER through HIS HOLY SPIRIT DRAWS SUCH PERSON TO BELIEVE THIS REVELATION thus
"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him [giving him the desire to come to Me]; and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day." (John 6:44).....

"Then Jesus answered him, “Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, favored by God] are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood (mortal man) did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 16:17 amp)

May God Our Father through His Holy Spirit mercy, grace, love and revelation draw you unto believing this Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified which alone can save your soul in Jesus Name. Amen.
