God uses the foolish things of this World to confound the so called wise. Perhaps judging someone as the village idiot is putting the judge in the position of village idiot so they can get answers too.

It is not that they are the village idiot, it is just the way some people view that person. When God speaks to you it may seem foolish to an unbeliever or a person with no understanding, but that is OK, because God's word is true and will never turn to any one void.

The "so-called wise men" are so caught up in their greatness that God couldn't get anything through to them so He has to choose the simple to confound the wise.
Read the Bible - you could have had the answer before you asked the question.
By the way - do you live in a village, and has he spoken through you lately?

Which village idiots?
Name 5 and I'll tell you.
Seriously.
or perhaps they are just written off as "village idiots" by people who choose not to believe.

It's not a coincidence. It is part of a reality where only idiots hear from god. Sane people do not hear voices.

I used to work for the village idiot. The Lord was always speaking to her. In fact, she didn't make a move unless the Lord told her to do so. Good luck. 2D

There is a wonderful story by Isaac Bashevis Singer called "Gimpel the Fool". He addresses your question in an imaginative literary way. Read it, you will love it.

God is not a flesh and blood person that can physically scoop down and save us him self. We have to take what ever help he sends to us.

where are you living? There are many people who hear from God that are very intelligent- maybe you just call us who hear from Him, idiots, so you do not have to respond to the truth.

History has shown us that God and idiots go quite well together.

I dont know who you've been listening to-but our pastor has said he receives messages from God. He's far from an idiot.
