This might be a silly question, but do you think that God/Jesus has a sense of Humor?

Laughter and joy must come from somewhere...  :Chinscratch:

YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED HUMOUR UNTIL YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE HUMOUR OF GOD!!!!

In my experience He uses irony a LOT. Makes me laugh at myself and my circumstances. Does hilarious things that are so obviously Him, there's no way around it because it's just too "coincidental" NOT to be Him. He is by far the funniest Person I know. :)

Sarah at 89 being told she was going to give birth at 90 - naturally the son was named Isaac, meaning "laughter"

Abram's name being changed to Abraham
Meaning of "Abram": Exalted father yet, no children at all at age 85
Name changed to Abraham  "father of a multitude."  and still NO children... yet

In the Genesis story about God predicting Isaac's birth, I recall that it was Sarah who tittered at the idea, and God (maybe I read too much into things) seemed just a bit indignant that He was doubted.

On the other hand, God states that He holds the wicked and their idols in derision, and laughs at the lot of them. 
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus
