Jack Delmar [11/12/2015 5:53 PM]

Show at least one verse from Scripture where Jesus laughed? Just one?
John Conger [11/12/2015 6:04 PM]
Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel? I thought that was funny 🙂
Jack Delmar [11/12/2015 6:05 PM]
I’m sorry! I was in the flesh for a brief moment
Ricky Grimsley [11/12/2015 6:38 PM]
Jesus and the father are one so this is probably jesus?Psalm 2:4 KJVS
[4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Ricky Grimsley [11/12/2015 7:05 PM]
No?

Jesus uses parable and hyperbole, and some irony in what he observes (for instance, the widow’s mite; the marriage at Cana; the fact he seems more comfortable on the timeless shores of Galilee than in the hot-bed centre of action, Jerusalem). But you are right, does Jesus use more direct methods of humour? Certainly, he never uses humour just for the sake of making a joke. At least, we don’t have a record of such.

No ..no don’t disguise this as humor…this depiction /representation disguised as humor if we flow with it ..invites or encourages more…sorry …not necessary….no offense but no not funny

That’s true. At least not in the Bible Ricky Grimsley Roger David John Conger

The only time I remember God being said to laugh is at the wicked that think they are tricking Him. Their day will come. I wouldn’t say this is a funny “haha” kind of laugh though more of a “you are so in for a firey surprise” kind of laugh.
I would imagine Jesus laughs but it’s not recorded in scripture.
Guess there were no good comics in the NT.
I bet when Elijah was taking on the prophets of Baal Christ had a nice giggle about their God being on the potty. *shrugs*
