Is sarcasm a worthy Christian attribute? No. So why is there so much of it when someone has a different opinion? Some people need to realize that your attitudes written here are recorded eternally, and they reveal the true heart behind your statements, and that does NOT bode well for you on judgment day. The sarcastic are prideful, thinking they know much, and should humble themselves....REPENT of sarcasm. Its ungodly.

Biblical evidence for that? Because I can give you biblical evidence that Jesus was, not only sarcastic, but very good at it.

Sarcasm is more in the tone of the voice than the words said.

"And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said 'Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.'" - 1 Kings 18:27

Sure sounds like sarcasm to me.

God used it on Job pretty devastatingly when are said, "tell me! For you were born then, and the number of your days is great."

Wow! :rolleyes: Young man, how much sense does it make to post that sarcasm isn't a "worthy attribute" and judge others about it when right before you made this post you commented in the "Be Holy" thread:

Now Now- we cant be speaking truth in here, these folks won't stand for it...i happen to agree with you, however...
just remember- every single one that disagrees with you is LOST and knows not the truth. Every last one. Every one of them serves satan...ahem..i mean sin....oh wait- same thing.

If that ain't sarcastic, what is? Don't bother justifying it. I'm outta this thread now. :p *good grief*

TS,
If you had just had enough restraint to merely say that we shouldn't use sarcasm to hurt others. But too late... the foot is already well embedded in the mouth.

Sarcasm: the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny.

There are multiple kinds of sarcasm, so for clarity, i am speaking of the mal-intended version meant to belittle and insult a person.

Doesn't the bible say that our speech should be with a certain level of holiness and love?

Amazingly you knew exactly what kind of sarcasm im talking about?? This post pretty much solidifies my position- sarcasm of a certain kind is obviously ok - but where is the line to be drawn?

But MY sarcasm isnt hurtful- sometimes i see some sarcasm here that is directly intended to maim if not shame a person into remission- its really gross at times....Like i stated- there are differing types of sarcasm and the type i am pointing at is the intentionally hurtful kind?

I think you have Jesus rebuking the Pharisees confused with sarcasm as so many do on here.

When Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites and vipers He was not being sarcastic, but instead exposing the true nature of their heart. People love to use Jesus when He rebuked others to badly misuse and allow how they wrongfully treat others.

If you had made that clarification in the beginning, then you probably wouldn't have gotten the responses that you did. But as it was, you came in with a "throw the baby out with the bathwater" approach.

Of course we should, as believers, speak with holiness and love. But I do feel that sarcasm, if handled correctly, does have its place.
