different ball!

Answer: Perhaps the best indication that God does have a sense of humor is that He created man in His image (Genesis 1:27), and certainly people are able to perceive and express humor. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a “sense of humor” as “...The ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is comical or funny.” According to this definition, then, God must show an ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is comical. The difficulty is that people perceive what is comical differently, and what sinful man perceives as funny would not amuse a holy and perfect God. Much of what the world calls humor is not funny but is crass and crude and should have no part in a Christian’s life (Colossians 3:8). Other humor is expressed at the expense of others (tearing down rather than building up), again something contrary to God’s Word (Colossians 4:6; Ephesians 4:29).

An example of God's humor is the instance in which the Israelites were using the Ark of the Covenant like a good-luck charm in taking it to battle, and the Philistines ended up capturing it and placing it in their temple before their idol of Dagon. They came into the temple the next day and found Dagon flat on his face before the ark. They set him back up. The next morning, there he was again, but this time he had his hands and head cut off as a symbol of his powerlessness before the God of the ark (1 Samuel 5:1-5). God’s putting Dagon in a position of submission to His ark is a comical picture.

This incident is an example of God laughing at the foolishness of those who would oppose Him. “See what they spew from their mouths— they spew out swords from their lips, and they say, ‘Who can hear us?’ But you, O LORD, laugh at them; you scoff at all those nations” (Psalm 59:7-9). Psalm 2 also reveals God laughing at those who would rebel against His kingship (verse 4). It is like the comical picture of a kindergarten-aged child being upset at his parents and running away from home...all the way to his neighbor’s house. But there is obviously a serious side to this as well, and although the picture of weak and silly man trying to match wits with an almighty and all-knowing God is comical, God takes no delight in their waywardness and its consequences but rather desires to see them turn around (Ezekiel 33:11; Matthew 23:37-38).

A person does not crack jokes in the presence of one who has just lost a close loved one; silly jokes are out of place on such occasions. In the same way, God is focused on the lost and is looking for those who will care for their souls as He does. That is why our lives (while having times of refreshing and humor) are to be characterized by “soberness” (seriousness about making our lives count for Christ) (1 Thessalonians 5:6,8; Titus 2:2,6).

Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.
I'm crying.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,

tongue's mode bro, I can't take credit for it, but thanks for the praise, I'll pass it right along, I know where it belongs
.
.How can I say thanks for the things
You have done for me?
Things so undeserved yet you gave
To prove your love for me
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that I am, and ever hope to be
I owe it all to thee

To god be the glory, to god be the glory
To god be the glory for the things he has done
With his blood he has saved me
With his power he has raised me
To god be the glory for the things he has done
Just let me live my life and
Let it be pleasing lord to thee
And if I gain any praise, let it go to calvary
With his blood he has saved me
With his power he has rasied me
To god be the glory for the things he has done

the evil ones are the few at the top who keep propagating this lie that nudity is sexual, it is not. Man decided to cover themselves up for some reason, probably not a good one. "Oh Adam,,go and fetch me some of those apples, and I'll move the fig leaves".

And now the end is near
So I face the final curtain
My friend, Ill say it clear
Ill state my case of which Im certain

Ive lived a life thats full
Ive traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, Ive had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exception

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, Im sure you know
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried
Ive had my fails, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not
To say the words he truly feels
And not the words he would reveal
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Hey Sharp, good advice thanks

no, not of the spirits

huh? hadn't ever made the connection there, did I mis somt'in

Above all, listen and make a part of your soul what atlantis75 just said. it is paramount. It does not matter what you might think at any moment in time, it is the absolute truth. It does mattere how we act, so try to be nice to everyone, this does not mean become a fool with What God intrusts you with!

what goes around comes around, the yin and the yan, karma, the seperation of the sheep and the goats, reap what you sow, there are so many expressions of its meaning I could go on, but for a long time, as usual, evil took this simple expression of something good to try and live by, (the golden rule), "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and perverted it. things are not always as they appear on the surface, deceit is ingrained to such a level in todays world,,,OMG,,,where did deciet originate? care to guess?

Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
A-When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

From the early early mornin' to the early early night,
When I caught miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
A-When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

Mama, papa told me 'Son, you better watch your step',
If'n your Papa's Mama had to watch my Papa's step ,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
A-When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

Ahhhhhhhh

(Music)

Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
Whooo
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
A-When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

Goin' to the corner gonna buy a diamond ring,
When she hugs me and kiss me make me ting-a-ling-a-ling
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
A-When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

discernment!

everyone has the right to express their opinions in this country...rrriiiggghhhhhttttt? not if the opinion police get their way. I really did appreciate one thing espedially about bill clinton, His choice of opening songs at the inaugural ball. anyone remember what that was?

yeppers, note that it is the "religious right" being talked about here and not people who actually try to do what teachers like Christ, amoungst others, taught! it is very important to maintain that distinction, anyone who can't do that should take a long hard look at the words "judge not, lest thou be judged"! luv ya all

I forgot what I was gonna say...

this is actually in a beatles tune named I am the walrus. pretty sure that was it

all right, I like fruitcake! yummy! The time thing is a relatively new thing the scientific community is looking into. It kinda of got a big boost of interest when they sent the probe out into space to have it test the validity of Emc2. Basically they slingshot-ed this probe off of the gravitational pull of planets to get it to approach the speed of light and see what happened to the theory of Emc2 as time started to distort. The end result was that Emc2 was not absolute, but is close enough.

already has, and it won't be the last time, I don't like it, but I'd rather have that than watching plane fly into buildings, and firemen carrying dead children away from federal buildings. Like it or not, that is the world we live in. It is not an easy operation to prevent chaos. luv ya
