I don't find any of those synonyms to be equal to "false" by necessity, either.

Unless you're yodelling My Fair Lady while doing backflips, "foolishness" is a lot closer to "false" than it is to "not false".
​
But the quote is not about what the author knows, its just a belief of his.
​
That's not what it says though. Paul was making a direct comparison between human wisdom and God's wisdom:
​
quote:
1Co 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
1Co 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
​
He said directly, "The Lord knoweth...." - clearly implying that Paul knoweth what God knoweth. How can you twist that into Paul not claiming to have wisdom over and above human wisdom?
​
It is not some profound fact... just a musing, IMHO.
​
That's what I've been saying all along: "God's wisdom is not our wisdom" has no more meaning than "'Twas brillig and the slithy toves...."

Lets discuss the Chicago Statement.
I Googled it. It's way too long to read but I'm willing to nitpick whatever parts of it you bring up.
