SO-O-O-O-O. . . .DO YOU THINK GOD HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR ???

Answer 1

there's no such thing as God.

is that humourous?

Answer 2

Yes, I can tell you from experience that he does.

By the way, God does not necessarily know what will happen. In fact, the Bible indicates that God becomes aware of everything as it happens. He has a plan for each of us but it is up to us to fulfill or deny that plan. The only plans he knows will be carried out are the ones he has made for his behavior towards us and Satan.

Answer 3

Of course he has! he made Christians!

Answer 4

he has two but i thank we make him cry more,

Answer 5

why else would he put us on earth?

Answer 6

He made you didn't He ? lol anyway,

God did not lack anything in Himself that prompted His creative act.  He wasn't lonely or bored.  To say such a thing about Him would be to imply He is not eternally self-sufficient and perfect.  But, if God is perfect and doesn't need anything, why would He then create us -- and the universe for us to live in -- that has fallen into sin?  What purpose would it serve?

     I suspect the answer lies within God's nature and a few clues spread throughout God's word.  To begin with, God is love (1 John 4:16) and the nature of love is to give.  John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son..."  I cannot help but believe that the most natural quality of love is to give, to be other centered, and, according to Jesus' own words, to give of one's self to the point of death.   John 15:13 is where Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends."

     According to Jesus, there is no greater demonstration of love than self sacrifice to the point of death.  Since God is love (1 John 4:16) and there is none greater than He, I conclude that God can and will be the one who demonstrates the greatest act of love.  I cannot see God allowing a mere creation to demonstrate this in a better way than He.  It would be a necessary outcome of His own nature and a necessary manifestation in any universe He created that the two greatest commandments spoken of by Jesus to love God and love your neighbor (x*x) would be supremely demonstrated by none other than God Himself.  Jesus was God in flesh who loved the Father perfectly and He loved us completely by laying down His life for us.  This is the greatest and most perfect act of love according to Jesus.

     If this is true, then it might just be that God had to create the universe so that the fall would be included in His plan for the very purpose of demonstrating and manifesting His perfect character:  Love!  To demonstrate the very greatest part of His nature of love, He would have to die for someone else.  This could not be done if there was no one to die for and no reason to die for them.  There could be no reason to die if there were no need for an atonement.  There would be no need for an atonement if there were no sin.  If there was no fall, there would be no sin.

     Therefore, perhaps it is possible that God created the universe with "free will" creatures in it who would fall into sin. Without this fall, ultimately no death would be necessary to atone for them and without that death, the greatest act of love could not be demonstrated.  Also, this would mean that the truest and most perfect quality of love would not be fulfilled.  Would this then mean that God would not be perfectly fulfilled without having given of Himself?  I don't know.  But I can't help wondering that for God to truly express His perfectly loving nature, He Himself had to be one who laid His life down for others.  For this to happen, He allowed sin to exist in this world.

     Furthermore, I suspect that it was Jesus Himself in the garden who walked with Adam and Eve.  I base this upon Jesus' own words in John 6:46 where He states that no one has ever seen the Father.  Yet, we know that God appeared in the Old Testament (Gen. 17:1; 18:1; Exodus 6:2-3; 24:9-11; Num. 12:6-8; Acts 7:2; etc.).  If it was God who was seen and it wasn't the Father, then it must have been Jesus.  Why do I bring this up?  Because after Adam and Eve sinned, God Himself (Jesus?) shed the blood of an animal in order to cover them with animal skins.  This shedding of blood was instituted by God as a prophetic typology of the true and final sacrifice that God (Jesus) would carry out so many thousands of years later when He laid His life down as the perfect demonstration of His loving character.  The redemption of mankind was always in the mind of God and was planned and carried out by God as a manifestation of the eternal love He has for His people.  This love was made complete in the death of Christ.  Also, I suspect that this is what is hinted at in Heb. 13:20 with the reference to the "blood of the eternal covenant" that some theologians think is reference to God's eternal plan of salvation made within the Trinity before the universe was made.  This covenant was the inter-Trinitarian arrangement to redeem mankind through the sacrifice of Christ.

     Therefore, I conclude that God may very well have made a universe in which sin existed so that He Himself could show the greatest and most perfect act of love by laying down His life for His friends.  

Answer 7

Yes of course he does.

Answer 8

Have you seen the duck billed platypus yet

Answer 9

God did know that man would fall in the garden. He also knew that he would send his Son. John 3:16. The Bible says that he gives everyone a chance to repent and accept His Son. Without him we can do nothing. I do thind God has a sense of humor because the bible says that  he laughs, but I don't think he would do what you discibed because other wise he would not have sent Jesus.

Answer 10

Does anyone know you're away from the home ?

Answer 11

Its virtually impossible to know everything. Past and Future.

Answer 12

Nobody has ever seen jesus laughed. I'm serious, not joking.

Answer 13

It is written that God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked.

He is not laughing at this.

But He does indeed have a sense of humor.

Answer 14

It was adam and eve to caused man/women to sin.

Answer 15

If he doesn't, we would be screwed.

so he probably has.

Answer 16

that supposition doesn't qualify as humor, more like sadism

Answer 17

Yes...of course he does...He made males didn't he?

:)

Answer 18

We're not "screwed."

We would be screwed if we were going to h**l and there was nothing that we could do about it.  You choose to go to h**l, and you choose to go to heaven.

Answer 19

Ants? Flies? Fundies? to name a few :D

Answer 20

haha god dont exist....

Answer 21

Whew! have your meds kicked in yet.  I guess I missed your point and I think you did too.

Answer 22

Yes, I do believe God has a sense of humor. I also believe he knows the power of the caps key. It's your friend, try to become familiar with it...

Answer 23

i just think god has made a flawed race of people and just said ' oh well ill let them get on with it then'

Answer 24

Have u seen an Armadillo?

Answer 25

I don't agree with the context in your statements but I do believe he has a sense of humor. EX: I was sweeping my kitchen a few weeks ago and my cheap a** broom bent in half making it almost impossible to sweep and the first words out of my mouth were GD and I was extremely pissed off.  So I grabbed my mop (still b****ing about my my broom) and that thing broke in half leaving me with a foot long handle to mop my entire kitchen with.  Was it coincidence or was he tryng to let me know something?

Answer 26

these all are human feelings and restricted to earth only....if you can compare your god with any thing on this earth, then he is not go...

god knows about each move of each human being...he has sent us to earth to test us ...and we should do good deeds...coz our deeds will decide our result in the life hereafter
