Just because you read it does mean that you are going to be dragged thur the lake of fire for just reading a joke . How sad . I have to ask, what ever happened to faith and grace,I know that there are some that think they can be saved by being good. But some day all the people will know that there are not even one good person on the hole planet earth. In the love of Christ , love ya bro.

I think what beloved is saying is, what are your motives for thinking some of these jokes are funny?
It does not matter whether the people in the jokes are real or not, it is your motives for thinking something is funny that is important.
Let Jesus shed some light on it for you.
Mat 5:27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
Mat 5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Mar 7:18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
Mar 7:19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Mar 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Mar 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Mar 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
It makes no difference wether you laugh at the made up misfortune of an imaginary character in a movie or joke, or the real misfortune of a real person, it's all the same. why would someone find someone else's misfortune funny?
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
What are your motives for thinking these things are funny?
These things are merely sign posts to show us where We are at in our spiritual walk and......
Amo 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
We have a long hard slog ahead of us and I for one do not want any excess bagage holding me down, and as paul said.
Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Thankyou beloved for pointing out some of my excess bagage to me!
:)

I'm sorry Dewey, but did I offend you?
Go back and read over my post. is there anything in it that suggests that I was attacking you in some form or another?
I anything I was talking more about myself than anyone else.
Also, just because you don't understand what I was trying to get at and why I used certain verses of scripture, do you go ahead and accuse me of posting verses willy nilly?
I'm sorry if you misunderstood, but does that justify you going on the offensive against me?
Go back and read my post and then tell exactly what it was that you found so offensive.
