• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Even God Enjoys a Good Laugh!

There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:

1. He called everyone "brother"
2. He liked Gospel
3. He couldn't get a fair trial.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that
Jesus was Jewish:

1. He went into His Father's business.
2. He lived at home until he was 33.
3. He was sure his mother was a virgin and His mother was sure He was
God.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that
Jesus was Italian:

1. He talked with his hands.
2. He had wine with every meal.
3. He used olive oil.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a
Californian:

1. He never cut His hair.
2. He walked around barefoot all the time
3. He started a new religion.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:

1. He never got married.
2. He was always telling stories.
3. He loved green pastures.

But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a
woman:

1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was no food.
2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just
didn't get it
3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was more
work to do.

Considering the seriousness and gravity of Jesus's purpose here on earth I do not think these jokes would amuse God--
They weren't supposed to be offensive because the point is, there's no color or gender in Heaven. I'm sorry if I offended you? I really don't want this to become a big controversial issue. I'm terribly sorry.

I don't think that anybody can argue that humour is a result of the fall...!

Ain't that the truth! To paraphrase Gallagher, "God has to have a sense of humor. Look at the giraffe for instance, He took a big horse and gave it long legs and a REALLY long neck! Now THAT's funny!"

i thought it was funny...it made me laugh...not too loud cuz i'm in the library...but what a great way of showing the no genderness or raceness of Jesus and it seems as a good funny way to put an end to the big controversy of what Jesus really is
God bless ya

I am not offended, I just think that people look too lightly on the seriousness of God's purpose for his son--and yes Jesus was a man, is a man, and will not change from being a man just because he is in heaven.

I do thnk that we are to have good humor--this type of joke however I believe to be inappropriate as it is blasphemous and makes a mockery of our Savior.
