Does God's pre-knowledge of all jokes' punchlines screw up his sense of humor?

If his groupies are any indication, I'd say he has no sense of humor to begin with.

These aren't errors, exactly, unless you're so fundamentalist that you take every single word literally. \n\nPeople today have expressions that aren't meant to be taken literally - including "to the four corners of the earth." (For example, "You're driving me crazy." Literally, this implies that I'm being driven, that I'm not already crazy, and that I'm a qualified mental health professional who can diagnose 'crazy' when I see it.)\n\nWhen certain verses appear to be incorrect, read them in context and then find other verses about the same topic to be sure how they should be interpreted. Anyone can pick a verse and question it's accuracy. For example, you could combine "Judas went and hanged himself" with "Go and do thou likewise" and come up with a pretty twisted doctrine! But is that how these verses were meant to be understood? I don't think so.

because God has a sense of humor

Sometimes the silliest questions hold much truth <wink>\n\nU don't have to answer the silly question unless you're moved to do so; so God may be moving you by having you answer one silly question after another.

Sometimes God does speak to an individual's situation using a verse that answers them (even though it is not in context).\nFor example, if a person is praying about buying a store and suddenly feels compelled to open the Bible to Proverbs 31:16 "She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard."\nThen it is just possible that God is saying for them to go ahead and make the purchase.\nMaybe you're contemplating getting a nose ring and you feel compelled to look up Genesis 24:47 - That could be God saying "Go ahead".\nSuppose you were wanting to make a bussiness deal and you read Proverbs 7:26 "For she has brought many down to death;\nher victims are countless."\nThat's probably God saying "No, you fool, don't do it!" \n\nThe reason this is so controversial is that all too often, this type of "leading" is simply mis-leading, not God leading. The way to test it though, is just like Jesus did when Saten tempted Him by quoting (out of context) Scripture in the desert - Ask yourself the question, "Does this answer glorify God? Will this answer lead me to do anything that God has said not to do? Will this answer cause me to sin against my fellow-man? Is this a wise and loving solution?"

Dont compare God to the foolishness of man. Sometimes you can find God in the most unlikely of places, and sometime those that say they are Godly men are the farthest from God of all men. This isnt Gods fault. Dont blame him for the way mankind may behave. :)

There is no such thing as someone losing his sense of humor unless you suffer brain damage... so keep it up... keep laughing as hard as you can, infact it helps in overcoming stress...

I do. The comic value alone is priceless. I think he's almost as funny as George Carlin and Carlos Mencia!\n\nCarlos Mencia... There's a modern prophet for you, LOL! Anyway, back to Jr. \n\nSo check it out. Dude is preaching one day, right? Everyone starts getting hungry, but the only thing there is a couple of fish and some bread. \n\nNow, to most people that would be a problem, but it didn't stop J.C., no sir! He just says to himself, "I'll invent fish sticks and become the son of God."\n\nAnd do you know what? That's just what he did!\n-SD-

I just looked it up, on the net, its much, much, much ado about nothing.  God can handle it himself, I wouldn,t worry about what Jerry Falwell says, some of the cartoons were in the 12 yr old range anyway, God know doubt has better things to do, he isn,t slipping around looking for comics to zap. Anyway blessed our we who can laugh at ourselves For we shall never cease to be amused.  \n\nBlubla

Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fu ck in' a off! He's a tight-as ! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!

ohhh. don't beat yourself up here.  humor is in the eye (ear?) of the beholder.  just because you didn't find the joke funny, doesn't mean your friend has any valid reason to be hurt by it.  a polite thing to do is smile and nod, and say, "i see!"  \n\nyour sense if humor is unique to you.... i think if you try to 'learn' it, it will only seem hollow and artificial.  only an englishman laughs twice: once when he hears the joke, and again the next day when he 'get' the joke.  \n\nif your friend is wise, he will remember your response, and not tell you appalling jokes.  then your suffering will be over.  for awhile.

I don't think you should have laughed , However why don't you find a question you ask him or something he could help you with even if you don't need help. It may restore some of his confidence.Then see how things go from there.
