The Funniest Line in the Bible

[Mike]

God really does have a sense of humor...

I've always thought the funniest line in the bible is Acts 2:15

14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! :toofunny

"Come on, people! It's not like it's 8 at night! It's only 9 in the morning!" :rolling

I can never read that line and not laugh!

And Jonah in the fish, reminds me of Nemo !

I like when the church was praying for Peter's release from prison. During the prayer vigil there's a knock at the door. Rhonda, the servant girl, went to go ask who it was and yay! it was Peter.

Rhonda gets so excited to hear Peter's voice that she runs back to tell everyone that Peter is at the door...without opening the door and letting him in!

Then everyone begins to argue with Rhonda that she was either out of her mind or perhaps Peter's angel had come, and meanwhile there is Peter, still knocking on the door waiting to be let in.

Finally, someone had the sense to actually open up the door.

yes, i think God put those in their to show how human we are even when we serve him, and he does have a sense of humor.

Proverbs 21:19
Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife- Proverbs 21:19

Proverbs 31:6
Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish.

2 Kings 2:23-24
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!"
He turned around, and looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord.
Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

Job???
If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom.

Job 19:17
My breath is offensive to my wife; I am loathsome to my own brothers.

Deuteronomy 14:21
Do not eat anything you find already dead. You may give it to an alien living in any of your towns and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner...

Proverbs 12:1
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid

Several months ago, Timothy and I were reading Proverbs together each morning before work and class. We would each read half the chapter and pass it on to the other to finish. Well, I'm not a morning person at ALLLLL, and I like it quiet, I don't like to conversate or be cheerful. Tim, on the other hand, seems glad to be awake every morning, so in the beginning of our marriage we clashed on that sometimes. (Well it's only been a year so sometimes we're still working on this, me especially).

Anyway, so this one particular morning we came to Provberbs 27 which has 27 verses in it. I read to verse 14 and then he took up at 15 and read to the end. Well, verse 14 reads:

"Whoever blesses his neighbour with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing."

As I handed it to him to finish I gave him one of those glaring looks, and said matter of factly, "See, God understands, it's BIBLICAL to be quiet in the mornings!" We went back and forth with it a bit, jokingly, and then he continued at verse 15, which is:

"A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike."

Well, that was that and we laughed for DAYS about it, knowing that God probably laughed at us too :biglaugh :rolling
