Does God have a sense of humour?

Yes?

Of course he does, we were made in His image, right!

Ecc 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

after all, that was in the bible, not just a Beetles song!

[GeneV]

I don't think He does. I don't think Jesus had much of one, either.

I challenge ANYONE out there to point to ONE ounce of Scriptural proof to indicate this. Any verse...any passage. I guarantee you will not be able to find one.

BUT...humans have a sense of humour, and we were created in His image.

So what gives???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course He has a sense of humor.

Mar 6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

Mar 6:49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

Mar 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

Okay, Dark ---

Are you convinced yet? Or do you want to clarify the question?

Hi! I accept your challenge.

God's emotions are all throughout the Bible. We hurt and anger him so terribly when we do not obey his word.Jeremiah 7 is just one good reference for this.In Hosea 6:6 GOD tells us what he wants. "For I desired mercy and not sacrifice;and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings."

As far as humor, what about in Daniel 5. In Daniel 5:1-4, the king and his friends were getting drunk using the vessels of the temple to drink out of. Daniel 5:4 "they drank wine and praised the gods of gold and of silver,of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. Daniel 5:5 "In the same hour came forth fingers of a mans hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote."

Can you imagine being under the influence of wine and seeing a hand writing on the wall? Now that is funny! GOD showed them!

Jesus' nickname for John and James was "sons of thunder" because they were so boisterous. That is pretty funny. In addition, the Bible does not report Jesus ever having gone to the bathroom. But I guarantee you He did. That is the problem with arguing from silence

I agree EricH...................... I've always loved that "sons of thunder".

"Sons of Thunder" is a pretty funny analogy....but not NEAR as funny as Tom Cruise's performance in "Days of Thunder," or the fact that it raked in millions at the box office.

Oh, and I'm sure that Jesus never jumped around like a looney on the seats while preaching in the synagogues.

I don't understand what this has to do with God having or not having a sense of humour

[papasangel]

It is mentioned in the bible several times where Jesus laughed. Jesus also told parables too.

some more concrete proof God has a sense of humor

1. Consider the duck billed platypus

2. The elephants trunk

3. Children

the list can go on and on lol

You must be post 1960s. It was the Byrds, not the BeaTles.
