It says that Christ was partying, not working in his step-father's workshop or doing some other menial work.

John 2


1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Sounds like much fun to me... But the problem is it happened two thousand years ago.

Where does it say that Jesus was having fun? All I see is that He was at a wedding and His mother got all yappy with Him and He told her to back off. Maybe Jesus had had a bit too much to drink that day and it made Him irritable. That happens to me sometimes too.

Fun is not what motivates True Christians™. You don't read any stories in the Bible about Jesus "having fun," do you?

The alternative to being a Christian is unthinkable. I love Jesus because He commands me to. Glory!

The amount of happiness cannot be compared to the amount of happiness that is expierenced in heaven. The question is, is it worth to waste your life for salvation that may or may not exist?

When a pastor is on FIRE for the Lord and delivering a sermon with a passion that can only come from the Holy Ghost, why, I can't think of any place I'd rather be or how it would be possible to have more fun!

Re: Is it much fun being a Christian?

It seems like an aweful waste of time if you spend this entire life preparing for an "afterlife" that may or may not be there. Just cause a bunch of people wrote a book a thousand years ago promising a "heaven" just to prevent people from enjoying themselves. What a waste.
