My battles with "intelligence"
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.-First Corinthians 2:4-5
There have been for years in Christianity on intellectual pride. Superiorism in regards to biblical translations who have no compassion to those who is having a hard time reading KJV. They are called "Stumble Causers". It is grievous for us to cause others to stumble. One of our Great Commission is to disciple Christians the most basic way to know Christ. Teaching Christians to rely onthe Holy Spirit that Good News can be communicated in a linguistically. Christian egoism based on intelligence in relation to other people are determined by class favoritism or by lack of comfort with those of another culture, language, or status whether higher or lower than ours. But whatever triggers favoritism violates brotherly/sisterly love. To avoid causing others to stumble is itself strong incentive to walk by the Spirit.
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.-First Corinthians 8:1
See: Matthew 18:6
