Jesus argued with a tree?!!

Actually, it wasn't an argument. It was an example of the fact that Christians/believers needed to "bear fruit" to their faith and not just say, "I'm a Christian so I can sit on my lazy rear and not live it." Christ hated the tree for not bearing fruit in its proper season, much like many "spiritual" people who talk about it in an elevator or at the cashiers stand, but you'd never know they were "faithful" by watching them live their lives. Its the same as with the 3 servants who were given coins (a Parable). Each servant did something different. One invested wisely and made his master money (saved souls), another kept his money and did not make as much as the first, but still made a little. For this he was rewarded because he did what he could with what he had and came out ahead. The 3rd saved his money and simply returned what he was given when asked for it. In other words, he didn't even attempt to save souls (make money) and therefore LIKE THE TREE was rejected....Show more

Dear Javier , we already know how life began , while you you praise your ''Lord'' , which is a prophet of many other prophets , who hold on their beliefs without proof and logic ! I like how Christians assume us as materialistic creatures , who don't accept the almighty '' Creator '', but we already have a creator which we praise and that creator is called knowledge and spiritually that's our true god we cherish !...Show more

We don't know that that is even true.

No one was there, who was literate, and could write a paragraph.

He himself, wrote nothing. And nothing in the Bible is written in first person....such as, "When Jesus told me that................"

or

"When Jesus and I were walking in the city of......"

Not a thing. No where.

And none of his actions, words or deeds were even written down until 40 or so years after his death. All from oral history.

In the case of John, not until 80 years after his death!!!!

You assume things that have no evidence....Show more
