and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
We know things are wrong so we don't do them, or try not to do them...but for some reason joking about them seems okay. Haha why do we joke about things we are trying so hard not to be or do? It doesn't make sense...does anybody get it?

You ask a good question Aubrey! Certain things are what Jesus went to the cross because of and we take them entirely too light-hearted sometimes...
Reminds me of a quote by Leonard Ravenhill "Is the world crucified to you or does it fascinate you?"
Hmm...
WWJD? :) And I don't think that Jesus ever missed out on having fun or being happy though He didn't have course jesting as part of his conversations, etc... :)
Thanks for asking that question...
Romans 7:15-21
"For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good."
joking is safer?
but the bible says even the thought is sin...
