Looked up "joke" and found "something said or done to provide laughter or cause amusement, as a witticism, a short and amusing anecdote or a prankish act; a matter that need not be taken very seriously; to say something in fun or teasing rather than in earnest." Wondering whether when Jesus cursed the fig tree, it was actually a prankish act. Personally, I wish not to take that part of the scripture seriously. Do think when Paul said some men should be castrated he was being witty and not theological. Have seen a couple of movies where the Jesus actor tries to be light-hearted and kid around a bit and, when I see that, for some strange reason always start thinking more about the human actor and am less convinced he is Jesus. Was it a man/woman or baby who made the first recorded fart in 1900 BC? I know this is an April Fool WW and not to be taken too seriously but it's such an interesting topic--want joy in Jesus/God/Holy Spirit but not sure I want Him teasing or fooling around or doing pranks on me or doing anything to me, for me, for that matter, that is not to be taken seriously, laughing more than working.<br />Happy April Fool's Day!!!!<br />S.H. in MI Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
