Proof that the Lord has a sense of humor.

D&C 130: 14-16

Any other scriptures that display his good nature would be appreciated.

Anywhere it might talk about the creation of giraffes is proof of a heavenly sense of humor.

Numbers 22.

Balaam smashes his donkey, who God causes to speak and say 'HEY! What's with the smacking?'

The fact that Balaam says 'You're mocking me' proves to me he was probably drunk as my reaction would be, "YAAAAAH! A TALKING DONKEY!"

I always thought it was funny that when the whole congregation of Isreal murmured against Moses and Aaron God gave them bird poop to eat. Either that or bird vomit, but it "rained from heaven" so I am assuming it is poop.

Exodus 16; "13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small around thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat."

and ... "31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey."

Who knows really what it was, but makes me giggle every time I think about it, and keeps me from murmuring too much.

Really interesting that the original name for Baklava was Manna. No wonder the people cried out for it - Baklava is heavenly!

Not scripture but I believe the existence of the Duck Billed Platypus is proof God has a sense of humor.

A mammal, with a bill that lays eggs and has venomous back claws? Nothing funny about that!

Where's that darned laugh button?!

A bill that lays eggs is pretty funny to me...

I bet the Lord laughed when he said this:

(D&C 49:22)

22 And again, verily I say unto you, that the Son of Man cometh not in the form of a woman...

That whole section is funny if you read it without reading the description of the purpose of the revelation. My son read the "wasteth flesh and have no need" as a direct commandment to not get "wasted." And then the last verse is funny too; " 28 Behold, I am Jesus Christ, and I come quickly. Even so. Amen. ", knowing this is being read at the Shaker meeting, the "Even so." sounds like "so, there".

Changed, I've always chuckled at that Abinadi one, too.

One of my very favorites is Job 16:2 - To set the story a little, Job has had everything imaginable happen to him. He's lost everything, his wealth, his family, all of his possessions, plus he's been covered head to toe in boils. Three friends come to comfort him but everything they say accuses him. What they essentially are saying to him is, 'you've been cursed, if you've been cursed then you must have done something wrong. God wouldn't allow you to be cursed unless you've sinned'. Job knows that he's been a righteous man and tries to convince them. Over and over he tells them, I've not sinned, I have no idea why these terrible things have happened to me. But they don't buy it, they are absolutely convinced if he's been cursed it's because of sin. Job eventually gets sick of their attitude and lack of faith in him and says in 16:2

"miserable comforters are ye all"

Every time i read this i can't help but laugh, it's so full of frustration and resignation like he's saying 'with friends like these, who needs enemies!". The first time I read this Job became one of my favorite characters in the bible. It's such a human response, sort of "hey you know what? As friends, you guys really suck!"

I realize God has a sense of humor every time I look in the mirror.

[EandLDOW]

Not scriptures, but whenever I consider the callings that have come to me, I have to believe that the Lord has a great sense of humor. I can imagine Him sitting up in Heaven getting ready to inspire a calling and saying to others with Him, "hey guys, watch this, this is going to be rich".
