Just wondering. some people think joking, humor, parody, sarcasm is a sin.
[h=3]1 Kings 18:26-28
[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[SUP]26 [/SUP]So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]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.” [SUP]28 [/SUP]So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.
Should we be so afraid of hurting someone's feelings that we don't speak God's Truth?
Do you judge others words by how much you LIKE them or HOW they say it, versus if what they say line up with the Bible?
Matthew 12:34
Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Matthew 23:27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.
Luke 11:44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.”
