The Gospel of the grace of God tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
Yes, they know God, but they won’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they begin to think up foolish ideas of what God is like. As a result, their minds have become dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead have become utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worship idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
So God has abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desire. As a result, they do vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. They trade the truth about God for a lie. So they worship and serve the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! That is why God abandons them to their shameful desires. Even the women turn against the natural way to have sex and instead indulge in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burn with lust for each other. Men do shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffer within themselves the penalty they deserved.
Since they think it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandons them to their foolish thinking and lets them do things that should never be done. Their lives become full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too."

Though I'm guessing most people didn't find it funny"
Erik B replied: "I think that as a kid he probably joked around in good humour, but He had a pretty serious mission to achieve, I am guessing that joking was at a minimum."
Erin replied: "Yeah, I bet He had a sense of humor. God does too I bet.
If we are created in God's image, then we have his qualities. Everyone has at least a little sense of humor, so yeah, I think God's pretty funny."
Terry replied: "there is not one shred of evidence to prove that jesus even existed."
It's That Guy replied: "Jesus definitely had a sense of humor. How do I know? He was Jewish! Jewish people all have senses of humor.
The problem with jokes is that they get lost in translation. The earliest versions of the Bible that we have are translations, in fact the whole New Testament was originally written in Greek a language Jesus didn't speak. So you have to sort of look between the lines to see the jokes.
I'll give you an example. There's this one story where Jesus brings a man back from the dead. Lazarus was his name Lazarus was dead for three days, so long he began to smell, so says the Bible.
So later Jesus is having dinner with Lazarus's family. You can imagine what that must have been like. I mean with Lazarus being dead all that time, he can't have been a very good conversationalist. So suddenly Lazarus's sister has an idea. She pulls out this jar of expensive ointment and begins massaging into Jesus feet! Then she dries it with her hair!
Can you imagine? That must have felt pretty good. Jesus would have enjoyed it, I bet.
So then Judas, who at this point is trying to be more Catholic than the Pope, says "She shouldn't have used that expensive stuff on you, Jesus. She should have sold it and given the money to the poor."
So what does Jesus say? He says "Hey, don't worry, Judas, you'll have plenty of poor people to be nice to after I'm dead."
Well, that's the gist of what he said, but it doesn't come out that way in The Book. In the Book he says "The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me with you." See, there's a translator who didn't see the joke."

jamesmom2 replied: "whenever people ask questions about Jesus, I always wonder why they don't just read what he had to say
find a bible that has the words of Jesus in red letters and just read those words, don't read anything else but those words, I promise you, I guarantee it, that everything you thought you 'knew' about Jesus is wrong, and that Jesus had a lot to say that everyone needs to know
Priests, pastors, ministers, vicars, etc, RARELY, if ever, read from the Gospels, they mostly always read from Paul's letters, and Paul was NOT JESUS
you won't become a Christian if you read the words of Jesus, but you will no longer be ignorant"
ballcrusher53 replied: "Luke 2:42-51 -
When Jesus and his family leave from Jerusalem He basically just decides to stick around without telling them. After four days of trying to find Him and scared ****less they find Him and ask Him why He did that, and He replies "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?"
I always thought it was kind of funny that He did that."
