Why do some people find the gospel foolish?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is often seen as foolishness by the world due to its counterintuitive nature and spiritual truths.

The perception of the gospel as foolishness stems from its radical nature, as described in 1 Corinthians 1:18. For those who are perishing, the message of Christ’s crucifixion appears nonsensical, as human reasoning cannot comprehend the spiritual depth of God's plan for salvation. The world's standards of wisdom often conflict with God's wisdom, and thus, many reject the gospel because it challenges their understanding and pride. However, for believers, this 'foolishness' is, in reality, the power of God for salvation, revealing the contrast between divine wisdom and human perceptions.
