Is Just Kidding in the Bible?

horse joking around with a hat

“Hey, relax. I’m just kidding.”

Simple enough. right? What, can’t take a joke? You shouldn’t have to. And horsing around isn’t a sport.

In truth, it’s worse than a sport.

Prov 26:18-19

As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

Look it up in your Bible. Maybe yours reads like this: “…and says, ‘I was only joking.'”

Throwing around barbs as a so-called term of endearment isn’t friendly. In fact, it’s the opposite.

Punk’d isn’t pleasant. Horsing around isn’t a sport.

No kidding.
