Here is Chad's next article examining Jesus fr0m the point of view of Jesus being a master intellectual. It features a lecture by Dallas Willard called Jesus as a Logician and Apologist.I am enjoying this series immensely. I agree that as Christians we don't think of Jesus is light of the fact that He did engage his culture and audience intellectually and we must do the same. This is why I see smaller audiences in Bible study services than other kind of services. I think that many people are either too lazy to put the time and energy necessary to learn as much as they can about everything they can.
I'm not saying that everyone need to be a scholar. You do not need to be able to identify logic concepts and be able to know everything. Some people are called to it but not everyone. No one is going to be as good as Jesus at it. What I've got to remember is the following verse and serves to keep us humble.
Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God. - 1 Corinthians 8:1-3
