Franky has become a bitter man!
Even Pilate said, about Jesus, “I find no fault in this man.”
I believe every man would make that statement, if he focused on the: “Holy, perfect Son Of God.” Yet it is the greatest understatement of all times.

Just think: “For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through His Son Jesus Christ.” (John 3:17)

“But He (God)made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who had no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Cor. 5:21)

“Being confident of this very thing, He that hath begun a good work in you, will perforn it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Phil. 1:6)

1 Corinthians 1:13-25

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”[c]

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
