What Is Your View About Comedy In The Church? by budiliscious(f): 10:31am On Apr 01, 2018 |
A lot have been said about comedy in the church in the modern day Christianity. Recently, I stumbled on a Rev. Olusola Areogun's view about this controversial topic and it got me thinking deep. Here is what he has to say: "You can't play with Quran and the Muslims leave you alone, why should we let it be done with the Bible? have you heard of a comedian going to Osun shrine before? Or have you heard of a comedian doing comedy in the mosque and begin to joke with verses of the Quran? WHY ARE WE DESECRATING THE ALTAR OF GOD? Where have we gotten these pastors that didn't understand the terms and the consecrations of the calling?" These days,stand-up comedy, comedy drama and all sorts are everywhere in the church. I don't want to mention names because the intention of this thread is not to judge anyone but allow us to rethink and act right. My view is that we need to ask ourselves if the essence of the gospel is to pass a message to the world about the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus for the salvation and transformation of our soul or to entertain the world. Please let's get it right. What is your view? #TechDisciples 16 Likes

go back in time and study the early Christians under the roman empire, and balzantine empire, what they do to people that make mockery of Christianity, it gave room for killings, maiming and lot of bloodshed. but today we try to abide by the bible, the bible told us that as a follower of Jesus, u must face mockery, persecution and hardship. so telling people not to bring comedy to the church creates a big room for religious Fanaticism and extremism, lets practice Christianity the way it should be, irrespective of what people want to say. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Christianity itself is a comedy on its own with funny things like Talking Snakes, Talking Donkeys, a piece of fruit confers knowledge, witches, magic tricks called miracles, demons cause disease, zombies get up out of their graves and walk around Jerusalem, ghost stories, creator of the universe coming down to be killed by three nails etc. 24 Likes 1 Share |

There's nothing wrong with comedy in the church, as long as the content is Holy and the 'end game ' is to glorify God. Afterall the Bible says that God laughs. 5 Likes |

in my opinion, I think it depends on the kind of church event or program definitely not on a Sunday morning service... a program like a get together, I don't think its a bad idea for comedy to feature. however since it's a church gathering the choice of comedy should be such that it doesn't mock the faith.... #myOpinion 6 Likes 1 Share |

To me, it's not too bam, but it also depends on d comedian. You go to AY show and talk trash, then come to church and be cracking jokes with things that didn't happen. |

It's because they're ignorant of the word of God. if God start with them now, they'll be blaming God like the people of Israel in Jeremiah 4:10 |

Thats how they start... Why did you mention Islam in it.... That aside.. We Muslims doesn't joke with our religion and we believe everything we do is would be accounted for on judgement day... As a Muslim if you can follow these conditions you are free to make your jokes.. It should not involve any element of making fun of Islam. The jokes should only be truthful. Not scaring people . Mocking people by winking behind their backs or making snide remarks . The jokes should not be excessive. It should not involve backbiting. Choosing appropriate times for joking. Every aspect of our life is being regulated by Islam..... And it is not a joke... 15 Likes |

Christianity as practiced in most churches today is just a commercial enterprise. Anything that can drive revenues upwards is welcome hence the reason comedy is allowed. Same reason some secular musicians are invited to church to boost attendance and hence revenue. OP is right. In the real sense, jesters are not allowed in the house of God. But when money is your primary motive, you allow anything. 21 Likes 5 Shares |
