Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
(Ephesians 5:4)

House of God is a holy place. And anything within it should be done solemnly. The Lord is in his holy temple and let all earth keep silent. The same house of God someone will be cracking jokes and everyone will be laughing. Looking at it in a moral way leaving the spiritual aspect aside, it doesn't look pleasant to me.
so that building, that usually-four-corner-walls building is a holy place? It is the people and not the building that is holy.

Because there isn't enough real joy in the house of God, we need entertainment.Entertainment is the devil's substitute for Joy, the less joy of the Lord you have the more entertainment you need.
Because there isn't enough power in the house of God, people are always looking for something to take it's place

It not about the comedy. Just the same way it is not about rap music. It is about the content of their lyrics. If it were possible to record all the activities of Jesus on video, we would have seen one or two scenes where he laughed to what someone said.

Contrary to what people say, church comedy is not (or maybe i shud say, "should not"wink about making mockery of the body of christ. But about creating a frenzy atmosphere in holiness. Remember, nobody that is born of God call Jesus accurse.

This is complete fallacy!!!

By their fruits ye shall know them. They are not churches even though they hide under the garment of a church. They are business establishment whose ultimate objective is to make money not for salvation of mankind.

Hence their modus operandi is to attract more and more people for the sole objective of generating more money. They are lions in sheep's clothing. Your soul salvation is the least of their agenda. You know them by their utterances not preaching, you know them by their flamboyant and extravagant show of wealth. You know them by their indulgences, finally you know them by the secret life the live inside.

All these too serious Christians that claim to be holier than others. If u go to this man's church now u will be shocked to ur bone marrow that a lot of unbiblical and unchristian stuffs happen right in his church.
Oga Mr Christian born-again perfectionist, if u no like am, then kukuma die and go to heaven where everything is done accordingly and leave the world the heck alone for us.
See if you are a Christian that lives by the word of God, there is absolutely no just reason under the sun to call fellow Christians that live by that same word "holy holy " or "holier than thou"


See at the long run, there is always going to be evil in the church, that's why we are told to keep watching till the end. In Revelations, those seven churches were churches that today, the best church in standard can't trump or near their standards, yet Christ had issues with these 7churches. So no one is saying a perfect church exists. All that should be hinged on is that the devil is craftier than any pastor. And if that pastor has anointing to throw someone like superheroes, if he doesn't watch, evil will creep in.

The bible should be a standard for our lives. It should. Let's stop adding here and there by what we think is right or wrong. That's how devil creeps in via this laxity. The way you spoke to him isn't the best way... because I believe you should have heaven as destination too. so why tell him to leave the world that we were promised will end with fire someday for you, Asif you have plans to remain in it?


Final stance is that God's altar should be respected only. It is a consecrated altar. Consecrated is keyword here.


Why is that just hard for a believer to understand? Why?

Talking by what we all can see in the bible we claim is our standard, is that now a wrong, bad think if someone quotes the scriptures to justify why or why not something solid be done?



Way back in Old Testament times, one of the practices of prophets of Baal was just unprovoked jesting inside the very temple of Baal. Some died from it. Should we that are claiming separated from the world now be doing exactly what the world does in the name of lemme enjoy this freedom?

I detest being judgemental, but why is it just hard for so called Christians to refer to the scriptures to justify a fact or a reason why something should, should not be condoned or allowed?


All comments so far have been personal opinions on the topic at hand@those defending Comedy in God's house.


I've rarely seen a "the bible says" Line from these peeps Tryna justify why comedy should be allowed on God's altar.

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.

Churches bring in the same set of Commedian that perform and promote immorality in AY show to perform in the church.Christianity race is not for jokers If it doesn't take God anything to destroy the children of Israel in the wilderness despite previous miracles and wonders. Pastors that are doing this should repent and make restitution. Our God is not interested in crowd in the church neither does He interested in bringing worldly people into the church using worldly attraction and performances.

You sound so convincing and logical that you will confuse others. I think we should not use our logical mind to condemn what God has not expressly condemned. Do not add to the laws.


Did you read where I said that God took his altar very serious? Is that not clear enough to you. God was very express with His altar that why the fellows aka High Priests that always entered there has to be consecrated for some period of time before he enters there. Why would the most senior pastor need to be separated and confessing his own secret sins and asking for forgiveness if he was that holy?


After that, he now enters the place and starts interceding for millions of souls calling them tribe by tribe. each morning, he has to shake his leg so that the rope watcher would confirm he was still alive. Please why is that necessary if God doesn't take his altar serious?


The Priests had to use this method cos they know that only God knows the heart of man.


That's way back in Old Testament times, but why would God want to show priests that he needs to be feared that much? These are all in the scriptures.


Man may decide to do anyhow anyway, But Yahweh just wanted that fact to remain in minds of these people. Now someone will just wake up one day and decide to change his rules?



The New Testament have given us more access by the tearing of the veil.... But that's no excuse for abuse atall.




If you categorize what I'm saying as condemnation, then so be it.


God's word is not meant to sooth or please our egos and emotions.


It's why Stephen was stoned.... and Jeremiah treated so barbarically.



My own stance is let the scriptures be your standard. Not what you feel it should be.



Devil will not use us all and play Golf o in Jesus name. Amen

Exodus 20:7, says "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain".


Making jokes with verses of the Bible and the Name of the Lord will make us guilty on the judgement day.

Those things that we feel that they don't matter, matter a lot.

We should not be present in such gathering

Church this... Church that... Not every joke is suitable for the church.

Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

1 Cor. 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own

1Pet. 1:15:16 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all
manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Therefore if you cannot tolerate jokes in the church don't even listen to jokes at all. Any thing you can't tolerate in the church don't do it outside because your body is a temple. Some of you here create and entertain all manner of obscene jokes yet you'll be criticizing jokes in church. As far as it's clean jokes, doesn't preach sin or mocks God's word; I see nothing wrong with it.

Ok, so what do you call that four corner building if not church. What do you call church?

Elijah called down the fire of God in a small place. It was the joy of David when it was time to go to the house of God. All this is not just reoccurrence. There are lot of references on this.

My question for you, do you want people to do whatever they like in any four corner place bearing the name church?

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.

Those that say there's nothing wrong with stupid jokes or comedy in the church are spiritually short-sighted or are just down-right ignorant of the Bible. God is too holy to allow loose jokes, laced with profanities and sexual innuendos to taint His holy things. Read Ephesians 5:4. Those who take jokes or comedy or whatever you choose to call it are just being flippant.

If the people are holy, they won't do whatever 'they like', even in a hotel,school,work place etc, not necessarily in the church building

So many people came to Christ Jesus but didn't (truly) believe in Him and so they remain unconverted and remain in their sins and as sinners in the house of God. They are slaves in the house of God but truly are children of Satan, they don't know God. And these turned what they call church or churches (mind you building is not problem) into dens of lions and houses of merchandise and buying and selling. They turned into a place of entertainment and are mocking God, His church and true and faithful people. These are the world / the children of Satan, in the church, who are pretending to be children of God. Many times they also invite their colleagues from outside the church, that is the people of the world in the world , that is the other children of Satan but who are outside the church, to come and join them in the church, to trample the house of God and the holy things of God under foot. They organize church programs and activities and gave titles to those they invited from outside and collect money from them. Both of them are children of Satan, one group are children of Satan of and in the church who pretended to be children of God and are the mockers and hypocrites, the other group are also children of Satan but who are in the world outside the church. And it is the will of their father, the Devil that they are doing.
Now true and faithful brethren children of God are not corrupt and they don't mock God and dr desecrate His holy name.
For this reason the judgment of God will start from the house of God, the church, from among christains /us even from the leaders, so that all the hypocrites in the house, that is the children of Satan in the house of God, may first be separated from the true and faithful brethren and added to their colleagues in the world outside the church that they all might be cast together into everlasting destruction.
This is one of the reasons why true and faithful brethren /believers who want to serve and worship God in truth and Spirit with the men of like manner can't truly remain and stay in these 'their church or churches' because these their churches are the congregations of the dead and synagogues of Satan, where God and His church and holy things are being mocked. It is worse than when the gentiles entered the temple of God and destroyed all the things, and they were rejoicing then that they had trampled the house of God under foot. This is what these children of Satan, who are filling the church of God now, but who are calling themselves children of God, are doing. And woe unto all the hypocrites in the house /church but blessed are all the true and faithful brethren in and of the church. Amen
