Zone1 Question about Jesus
- Thread starter Votto
- Start date
Matthew 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! He is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ Yet wisdom is proved right by her actions.”
That's the Gospel of Matthew. If Jesus' critics were calling him a "glutton and a drunkard" - he would have at least had that "rumor" spread about him among his critics. Jesus' entire ministry was about changing the way people thought and acted - and that through faith in God, all things were possible - even for "tax collectors, sinners, gluttons and drunkards".
Jesus attended weddings (wedding at Cana) among other festivals - do you honestly believe he sat in a corner with a frown on his face during those events?
When Jesus taught - did he do it in a serious manner and with authority? Yes.
That does not mean he always taught in an "authoritarian/military" fashion? Not in my opinion. You can teach in a serious manner and with authority without always being "authoritarian". The fact that many of his teachings were spoken in parables essentially shows this, imo.
Jesus had the same emotions as most humans - we read that he went through suffering, pain, anxiety, stress, frustration and so forth - so why would anyone believe that he did not have moments of joy, happiness, laughter, etc?

Comedians are liars. They all get rich thinking of things to lie about.
Kevin Hart got rich with a long winded lie about a "Deerbra" something that has never ever existed. He traveled the world telling that lie of a story and it make him filthy rich. God does not lie.

Normally I like your comments on here but you're really starting to bum me out now. Good thing that I don't buy this one bit. If we're made in God's image then why wouldn't He have a sense of humor? It doesn't have to say in the Bible Jesus laughed for us to know that He probably did.
For He cried, got angry, got hungry, used the bathroom and everything else human that we do except sin so He more than likely also laughed at times.

I know, I know, I should have used Socrates to avoid giving you warm fuzzies.Oscar Wilde?
My bad.
He said pretty much the same thing, only, without commenting on humor.
"A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time".

What do you mean by saying it does not have to say it in the Bible??? Oh yes it does... It has to say it in the Bible. It has to say it in the Word of God. It cannot be made up my man. Only God's Word is God's Truth. God does not have a secular humor-not at all.
I keep my foot on the pedal when it comes to God, who God is, how God functions, and what God expects of us. I don't bend when it comes to God. I have to be willing to become an enemy to everyone in order to be one with God. I go hard in taking up for God. Everything about God is Spirit, Righteousness, Holiness, Love, Steadfastness, and Truth as God does not change. God does not go from being Spiritual and Holy one minute; then comedic and secular the next. Only mankind does that; straddles the fence becomes part of the Laodicean Church.
Most comedians have demonic power at the mic to say anything ungodly, feed the sick flesh of mankind, and have man laughing and making a mockery of God. Then man will try to FALSELY claim God to be a comedian. That is wicked and evil. God has no parts with Beelzebub (devil).
I have noticed how in order to relate to God man tries to turn God into some sort of AI machine that can feed his flesh like Alexa does. Man desires God be his comedian, his sports athlete, the man upstairs, his bro, his dog, etc... Mankind even tried to view God Almighty as their deadly COVID vaccine mandating politician in the form of Joe Biden; a false god. Whatever makes mankind feel good in the flesh they will confuse that as being God. Comedians feed the flesh not the Spirit, so man says this good feeling in the flesh must be who God is, and what God is.
God is a sword cutting asunder bone and marrow concerning righteousness. Jesus let us know he also has came to cut; to turn one human being against another, to set man against; to turn mankind against one another. To stand firm with God we believers must stand "AGAINST" all those who oppose God as the One True and Holy God. That includes all friends and family.
You mentioned us being made in the image and likeness of God. God's image is Spirit, and his likeness is Holiness. God tells us "Be ye holy" God tells us that which I have already put in you (holiness) be holy. Meaning no filthy profanity will come from our mouthes, no entertainment of the flesh will be in our eyesight, no lies about God will enter our ears and get near our hearts. We guard our gates (eye, ear, mouth).
You mentioned Jesus attended weddings??? Jesus attended only one wedding. Everything Jesus did was for a purpose in connection with salvation. The wedding of Cana is a glimpse into salvation of how Jesus marries believers (the Church). It was the pouring out of Jesus blood (the new wine). Jesus never went around town waisting his time attending several weddings. The wedding of Cana was a teaching lesson for us to understand salvation through the blood of Jesus. The wine of the vine-the blood of Jesus vein being poured out. The Wedding of Cana had a prophetic salvation meaning to it that Jesus was delivering to us. Jesus did this seriously-never with comedic humor.
Nothing about heaven, nothing about the Kingdom of God, nothing about salvation is comedic- not one thing. It is all 100% a serious matter. You want so so badly assume Jesus was always happy, bursting out laughing, telling silly jokes, full of secular giggling and cackling. No where in the Holy Bible is that ever mentioned.
Jesus did have joy, but it was all 100% the spiritual joy of God. The spiritual joy of pleasing God. The spiritual joy of teaching others about God. God Himself has told us do not love the world nor the things in it; therefore Jesus would NEVER get his joy from the world - only from the deeper and spiritual things of God's Holiness.

crossbody So you believe that Jesus never pooped or peed or cried as a baby because there aren't any Bible verses about those things? I'm sure He giggled and was silly a lot as a baby and young child for the record. As long as it was at an appropriate time that is as then it wouldn't be a sin, it's just a kid being a kid. Oh and I didn't say anything about attending weddings.
Of course he didn't, he already knew every punchline.
One of my favorite lines in the OT is when God says, tell my servant David...
It just drips with sarcasm. God has a wicked sense of humor. Pardon the pun.
It apparently went over David's head.
It was a "conversation" with Samuel.
You sure?

Were you there with Jesus every moment of his life? I have no doubt that he laughed and enjoyed life, the people, the children and his family.
There is proof God has a sense of humor. Just look at the human "Knees." I'm sure he and the other Gods got a good laugh when designing our knees.
Pretty sure. Why? Is there some clever point you wish to make?

the heavenly would not devour their own creation, spirits living in the everlasting - absolutely without merit jesus was in any way conceived differently than anyone else.

You have questions about Jesus, son? Ask away. Nobody knows more about Jesus than me
Why was Jesus asleep in the boat during the storm?
