Everytime someone points out something that is a contradiction or funny about Christianity, you always say that "JESUS WILL JUDGE YOU IN THE END AND YOU WILL BE SHAKING ON YOUR KNEES IN FRONT OF HIM!!!!!!!!!!" Why does Jesus have no sense of humor? You would think watching Christians falling over themselves to kiss his butt would make him roll on the floor laughing, let alone the invention of holy water (it is still water guys, just some person said something and waved his hand/wand over it). Or other things like that. Come on, Jesus has got to have a sense of humor, he invented Christians.

Jesus was what we would call today a lateral thinker, meaning that his creativity would allow him to respond to people in unorthodox, and therefore unsettling, ways.
He had a fine sense of hyperbole, claiming that “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (Matthew 19:24).
He accused the Pharisees of being blind guides who “strain out a gnat but swallow a camel” (Matthew 23:24).
He was also adept at using biting irony, as when he rebuked the Pharisees for inventing their own petty laws and placing them above God’s teachings, saying, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!” (Mark 7:9).
Jesus was a master of witty repartee, as in the case when a man in the crowd shouted, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” Without skipping a beat, Jesus retorted, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” (Luke 12:13-14).
Jesus had an attractive personality and a powerful charisma that people found either so hard to resist that they had to follow him around or so threatening that they clamored for his death. Parrott notes that “Jesus used humor freely, thus permitting in his own humanity the greatness to prevail over the potentially tragic”.

Who says Jesus has no sense of humor.
Once, Jesus was having Sabbath dinner with the head Phrasee and a sick man came to the door and asked to be healed.
Jesus asked the main Jewish Rabbi guy, "Is it wrong to heal someone on the Sabbath?"
The head Jewish guy had no answer. So Jesus went to the door and healed the man
Now that's a guy with a wiry sense of humor.

Jesus appears not to have a sense of humor. Christians continually point out the fact that he will come back angry and judge us all. What a jerk he sounds like, even for a fictional character.

Firstly, there was an experiment conducted on holy water in which two cups were placed next to each other, and one, after being blessed by a priest, changed in molecular structure to something that had a cleaner more beautiful design. Jesus has no humor when it comes to people doubting him,if you believed by faith what he knew, you wouldn't say such things for fear of him.

Jesus has an incredible sense of humour as you would find out if you had a real relationship with Him...however you don't and can only judge by other people and what they say. There are many things that have happened to me as a result of prayer...which have not turned out exactly as I expected but have been so funny...my prayer has been answered but in His way......he does have humour...unfortunately you can't witness it for yourself.
As for people using Jesus will judge you as a threat...rather they try to explain the gospels to you to help you find the truth than make threats.......threats are not His way.
Best wishes, Mike.

First of all, there are no contradictions in the Bible. (If you believe there are, then you may need to study the Bible more.) Secondly, do you like being made fun of? Probably not; no one does. But with God, not only should you not be making jokes, you should be showing the most respect and reverence.
Galatians 6:7 -- Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

Jesus didn't invent Christians, we chose to be Christians.
So your joke really isn't funny.

How do you know Jesus doesn't have a sense of humor? Have you met Him? Do you think that this question is going to make people just say, "you know your right. This is all just silly of me, I think that I just won't believe anymore."
Thanks for opening our eyes!
