    I believe that it is dishonouring to the Lord to make or enjoy jokes at the expense of the Biblical narrative. No matter how acceptable such jokes might be in an ordinary setting, this is the Word of God and we should not trivialize it in any way. God’s Word is to be treated with the deepest reverence, in the fear of the Lord. Such jokes are entirely out of place, in my view.

      You are right Paul the Word of God should not be taken lightly. The “riddles” above are examples of how modern English grammar and cultural contextual set up and idioms can misconstrue Biblical scriptural interpretation. The lesson here is that if one doesn’t apply appropriate hermeneutics they could end up in the same place.
