Do you think God has slowly developed a major sense of humor over the last 2000 years?

The Bible shows that some of the attributes of God are anger, stern inflexibility, a monstrous ability to punish, and incredible mercy, love and forgiveness.

This is just my opinion, but I think that the Jewish people who wrote the Torah and later, the new testament, imagined God with their OWN attributes.

I pray quite bit when all is quiet, late at night, and it seems to me that God HAS a sense of humor. He is VERY loving and forgiving...and also loves music!!! Sometimes I wake up in the morning with an ear worm, singing a certain song I'll not have heard in 20 years, in answer to my questions, my feelings, or my plans. The lyrics will be so right on that I am humbled by them. I am often humbled by the LOVE those ear worms bring.

I DON'T think that God will always be a mystery, or that HE is unknowable.

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS POST IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD. I will most likely block you.

I am just curious about what everyone else thinks about this. 😊😊😊

I agree with you 100%.

When I talk with people about God. Most of them say God never answers their prayers or talks with them. I reply first that you have to have a relationship with God before he hears and grants your prayers and talks with you. They Gaulke "Talk"! I say yes have you ever heard that small inner voice saying go do this or that or help this person or that, but you as a Human say screw it, I am going to do for me! Well then you just lost that conversation and help God was going to give you. Because every time listen and followed that voice helping others, I was blessed with unforeseen blessings and things I wished that would have turned my way finally do, but when I ignore as the "Man" I am I lose those blessings.

And You may ask for a blessing in a prayer right this second, and God will answer you and it with his due timing at the right time.

I am a very deeply convicted person in God and Jesus, I have learned not to trust in "Man"!

@4meAndyou Obviously he has one, heck he made me after all! LOL

God does have a great sense of humor, he has too to be so patient with everything going on down here right now.

@WillaKissing You are most welcome! Not everyone is comfortable talking about God and His very REAL personality!

I am agnostic, so hope that means i am not disqualified from commenting. 😊

I feel you are right that the idea of God and his nature is created by the times we live in. He is considered as angry and punishing in periods of conservatism. And seen as a loving friend in good times when people were known to be happy and times were good.

I am neither christian nor jew and am reflecting based on observations in my part of the globe.

@WandererTony I appreciate your input. I believe that Hindus know God...although ABCDEF7 argues that it is not quite the same thing!

@4meAndyou cannot catagorise that way, i feel.
And its so complicated, especially for those who are against blind faith. There are many open ends. 😊

My favorite part of the bible:

" ... So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them...."

So, mathematically speaking, if We are like God, then God must be like like us.

God is not that much of a mystery :)

@Heartlander God must be wonderful indeed. 😊😊😊A happy, musical God who loves jokes and loves His children.

God gave us the gift of music! Enjoy it!

God created us in His image and part of that includes humor.
4meAndyou · F
@OverTheHill All things I should have known or inferred. I am humbled by my own cluelessness...🤣🤣🤣
He's always had a sense of humour
we were made in His image
we have a sense of humour

God isn't evolving. What He has, He has always had. It is our perspectives and understanding that changes.

Of course he has a sense of humor.....has to. He created us after all. 🥴
