“For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” (1 Cor. 1:25) How can one possibly attribute the words foolishness and God together? God can not be foolish.

This is simply a misunderstanding of what is written. If you read the verse in context it makes itself clear. But to put it simply yet descriptively, the intellectual world did not know God. A crucified messiah defied all the Jewish expectations and was dismissed as absurd by the Gentile world. But God’s wisdom and power are located in Christ. While what he did during his life, on the cross and after his resurrection may be seen as foolish and weak by men, God is wiser and stronger then they are. That is what the verse is saying.
