1 Corinthians 1:25A KJV
[25] Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men;
God has told us in the Bible, not only what to do, but many times, how to do it. For example, He has chosen preaching the gospel as the method to deliver it to people. Preaching is a foolish method for communicating. That is why preaching is rarely used apart from churches. People loathe preaching. They say things like, "Don't you dare preach to me!" Because it is so foolish, when it is used and produces amazing results, God gets the glory, as He must.
1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
When people are apparently saved by non-biblical methods, the methods and their creators are glorified instead. This robs God of the glory due Him.
God's foolish ways of doing things are all through the Bible. We must strictly obey God using His ways only. Then He gets the glory.
