Tolams16:

The church is a sacred ground meant for worshipping our creator. The altar is a sacred ground meant for prophesing the word of God and realeasing the masses from captivity. The alter of God is a sacred war ground for fighting satan, casting the enemy, do you crack jokes in a warefront? Yes the kingdom of God is for happiness and joy, but it is referring to internal and and everlasting joy provided by the holy spirit and not for momentary laughter provided by worldy events which does not last, you laugh now and cry later, it does not last and it is not everlasting. The person cracking joke on d alter is his life and example for others? Not that you will crack joke today in church, tomorrow u are in the club cracking joke, the following day u are drinking, smoking, vibing with girls in wordly events and then next week u are in church again, standing on the sacred alter of the almighty cracking worldy jokes that does nor solve any problem, does that seem right to you Only christ can solve our problems and give us everlasting internal peace.

Godwritten:

The Church of Jesus Christ is not a social club or a place for party and jamboree.

Any church that invites comedians to use the Word and the Name of God to crack jokes should examine themselves.

Comedy in the church is a worldly practice introduced in the church to make Christians empty. It is the Holy Spirit that can give you joy, happiness and peace the passed human understanding NOT scoffers that call themselves comedians.

''Men of God'' who allow this unholy practice in their churches think that keeping members entertained by comedians would make them stick to the church, but they are wrong. The Holy Spirit does the work.

Now, church is a house of prayer and where the Word of God is taught for believers to be strenghtened in faith for the work of the ministry.

Infact, the Bible call them comedians, scoffers. Many scriptures including Psalm 1:1 said it shall not be well with them.

Therefore, come out from them so that you shall not be a partaker of their iniquity, says God.

livette:
Some churches do stand up comedy. They invite comedians from outside, and possible within the church to crack some jokes on the altar.. To me, stand up comedy in church is ungodly and a sign of disrespect of the sacredness of God's altar. It is a mockery of the sanctity of God's altar. You don't tell jokes with some lies on God's altar. The altar of God is not for caricature, but for holy things that are pleasing to God.
Donations, dramas, musical presentations, are extras too.

What is your view?

Comedy on it's own is not of God let alone performing it in the Church. Comic relief is entirely different from comedy.
Ephesians 5:4
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

Montaque:
I remember the words of Jesus. That we shall give account of every idle words we speak on the day of judgment. Comedy skits are idle words to me

chima47:
I do not support it all, more than 70% of the jokes are lies and things that never happened. and lie is lie, sometimes right there on the pulpit, the comedian makes joke of Christ, the church, and the servants of God.

Childofthelord:
Would a local chief priest entertain a stand-up comedian in his shrine?
Why do we try so hard to add a little "spice" to the things of God then? Like really, why?

imolile:
It is Demonic, It is a sure evident that the shepherd has no message and needed a scoffer to tickle his congregants, Pastors who allow comedian have lost touch with Christ, they are just socializing

UncommonLogic:
Any business will use any legal means to increase profit. Churches are nothing but business centers hence any legal means that can be used to increase attendance and profit is welcome.
The whole church thing is comedic in the first place.

GoodBoi1:
Most of you forget that your body is a living sacrifice and a temple of God. So if you listen to comedy outside church and it is okay by you but condemn it in church you are a hypocrite. Comedy is okay if it is done in moderation. I think churches don't do comedy all the time. Believers are the body of Christ not concrete

nairanaira12:


There are fake Christians and pastors.
There are also fake Muslims everywhere

Come to ilorin and meet alphas and imams that behave more like herbalists and scammers.

So, fakeness is not limited to any religion. I hope you are not too stupid to reason otherwise?

AntiChristian:


Those ones are Babalawo called afa! These once are called pastors full time.

And we still have the Babalawo pastors separately.

Greenishland:
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Ephesians 5:3‭-‬4 KJV

Observe that the Bible passage above condemned foolish talking and jesting and says it should not be once named among believers therefore comedy in church is a sin.

NoToPile:
I don't support it.
Church is not for entertainment nor social gathering or club.
This is part of the reason we are having powerless christains.
I wonder why their pastors support it.

Judeoxide:
yea truly you are not a Christian
God condemned comedy in the Old Testament
But make we leave am there

Bejusttoall:
It shouldn't be encouraged in any form.

chibnnodi:
No, it's a way of inviting the devil to the church.

ogunsbanjul:
Not all that call me Lord are called by me

Afobaba33:

It means you don't know the meaning of church
Moreover did our Lord Jesus Christ allowed such during His time or you think there are no comedians then?

Oracleforce:
The Bible says, my house shall be called a house of prayer....not a house of fashion or comedy...comedy is not part of the early order of service that was one of the reasons power was so intense among them...comedian come with their carnal and worldly comedy skit to corrupt and dirty the mind of people...

Comedian is part of the entertainment industry and entertainment is. part. of Jesus mission her n earth...His mission is to use all means to save the perishing souls...so, can comedy skit save any sinner? Can a comedy minister light to those in the darkness? Can a comedy skit deliver the oppressed...
These are what you can see in any other religion even traditional religion expect some churches that do not value god's presence in their midst...

nairanaira12:


Those ones who call themselves pastors are also not pastors. They are scammers.

If you can't link a criminal imam to Islam, why are you linking a criminal pastor to Christianity? Is it because Islam teaches you hypocrisy?

I think you should shut up and use your head more often. Your hatred for Christians is making you sound like an idiot.

Kobojunkie:
who told you that story about early churches? Your pastor, right?

Stop letting them decieve you with their lies. The Church that belongs to Jesus Christ is built by the hands of Jesus Christ, not your pastors hand. What you call church there is nothing but a glorified social club.

DeRichard:

My understanding is from the Bible.
The church are the sacred people of God who have received Christ into their lives as Lord and saviour. It's the same people that build the structures we worship in today and our worship must glorify God which doesn't include bring comedians to crack jokes in the church. God is not a joke.

Kobojunkie:
How exactly did you come to conclude that comedy skits fits well into that commandment given by Jesus Christ to His followers?

Montaque:

So what to you is an Idle word?

Kobojunkie:
Well, for one, a lie told in the name of God is mostly definitely an idle word.

Montaque:

It's surely has more meaning than religious lies. It includes jesting which we now call jokes

Kobojunkie:
I am afraid your understanding is not from the Bible but from the many doctrines and traditions your Mogs have fed you regarding their churches instead.

Jesus Christ never asked any man to build churches in His name, nor did He ask any of His followers to "worship" in such assemblies as is your churches today

. Instead, Jesus Christ said that the Church that belongs to Him He builds - by His own hands and not the hands of men. So, whatever you do in your man made structures have nothing to do with God or God which God in fact commands.
