Why do some view the cross as foolishness?

Answered in 1 source

Some view the cross as foolishness because they lack spiritual discernment and do not recognize God's wisdom in it.

The perception of the cross as foolishness stems from a lack of spiritual understanding and discernment. In 1 Corinthians 1:18, Paul articulates that the message of Christ crucified appears nonsensical to those who are perishing—those who rely on human wisdom and reasoning. This juxtaposition showcases the divide between the world’s understanding and God’s wisdom. Divine truths are often rejected by those who cannot see beyond their own intellect. Ultimately, this foolishness is indicative of the spiritual blindness that befalls those who have not been called by God and thus lack the faith to recognize the profound truth embedded in the cross.
