The meme creeping into recent Religion Forum threads is that sarcasm and mockery is too mean and devoid of Christian niceness. I say, "Hogwash!"

I couldn't agree with you more. Sarcasm and mockery tend to arrive from others who provide absolutely NO content to the particular thread, only to ridicule individual posters and try to start flame wars to shut those threads down.

Paul when refering to the judizers in Galations wished they would go the whole way and castrate themselves. The self appointed critics would have labeled Paul as a bigot and a hate speaker.

St Paul’s wish about those who would bring in circumcision is a classic.

Why cut a little bit, cut it all off!

Some here would refer to Paul as a bigot and a hater for that remark.

Resty, I would LOVE to know what leap of logic had you pair up the use of sarcasm with God’s promise to prepare places in heaven for his children. Do you think He was being sarcastic?

Nope, not at all. Especially when the attempts are directed at the messengers and not the message. Happens quite often and the purpose and motives are highly suspect.

I’ll leave the discernment of purpose and motives to you.

Well Resty, if you won’t answer that question, here’s another:

When Jesus said there were “many mansions”, is that referring to the different kingdoms of heaven: the Celestial, Terrestial and Telestial?
