    Mark 11:12-14

    I do not understand why Jesus was mad at the fig tree. Verse 13 says "But no, there were only leaves, for it was too early in the season for fruit." Jesus would have known that. I know he was feeling hungry but I don't know what to learn from this. It wasn't the fig tree's fault. Please...

    Does Jesus and God have a sense of humor?

    Since he doesn't lie, he was messing with that person. As a joke or being funny. My opinion.

    Does Jesus and God have a sense of humor?

    I can't pronounce at least half of the names in the OT. Then when I reached the NT, I thought thank goodness I can pronounce those names and wondered if God lost patience with how some of us struggled with the OT names. So, he made it easier. Probably not, but it did cross my mind. One time...

    Does Jesus and God have a sense of humor?

    What I mean by sense of humor is - joking, laughing, teasing, a little sarcasm, etc. I did not mean like a comedian. I hope he smiles too. I know a few people that say God talks to them and that he does have a sense of humor. Since I don't hear God, I wouldn't know. I believe he speaks to...

    Does Jesus and God have a sense of humor?

    I've heard that they do but haven't read it in the Bible. Unless Job, trying to hide from God because he was afraid to do something God told him to do and then eventually was in the belly of a big fish for 3 days. I found that a little funny but more because he was trying to hide from God...

    Genesis - the Creation

    I still wonder about the dinosaurs and why not mentioned. So, I just prayed and asked God. I will know eventually. They were magnificent creatures - although I wouldn't want to meet one alive. Since that's not going to happen, I am not worried. There are some wild animals that exist now...

    Genesis - the Creation

    When God is creating the heavens and earth, I assume his days are much longer than ours. Has anyone figured out how long they were in our time? Did he create the dinosaurs first and they evolved into the animals we know now? Was Adam a caveman? It seems that period of time is missing unless...

    Matthew 21:28 - Parable

    I believe I understand now. When Jesus said "Surely evil men and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom before you do (so, I assumed they answered the wrong son). For John the Baptist told you to repent and turn to God, and you wouldn't, while every evil men and prostitutes did. And even...

    Matthew 21:28 - Parable

    Jesus said, "But what do you think of this? A man with two sons told the older boy, 'Son, go out and work on the farm today' 'I won't,' he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. Then the father told the youngest, 'You go!' and he said, 'Yes, sir, I will' But he didn't. Which of...

    Matthew 27:50

    After Jesus took his last breath and died on the cross, it says that the Holiest Place in the Temple was split apart from top to bottom and the earth shook, and rocks broke, and tombs opened, and many godly men and women who had died came back to life again. After Jesus' resurrection, they left...

    History and the Bible

    I am following a plan to finish reading the whole bible by the end of December. I don't understand everything but I am going to stick to it. I surely don't understand Revelations. I wonder why it was written in code? I know in the Old Testament, God was disappointed in his people when they...

    History and the Bible

    I heard these last two hurricanes were created to stop the voting in some of the red states. Well, I probably will never know that for sure. But, they are still voting! That amazes me. Who would be controlling the weather? Part of our military? I wish those involved would get exposed...

    History and the Bible

    I agree about the guns. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time sure doesn't help. I do believe Hitler was possessed by demons. I also believe he will be punished forever. I don't understand greed and power. They don't last. Money comes and goes. I wouldn't want to control anyone...

    History and the Bible

    Psalm 100:5 - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." There are also miracles, blessings, comforting, healing, etc. I know God is the creator, the only God and the most magnificent. How can a person be so evil that they hurt...

    History and the Bible

    Where was God when Hitler and Stolin were in power? I've been so stuck on that. I cannot believe that those poor people weren't praying and asking for help and mercy. Does the Bible explain that? I always pray for the US and World. But, I am not better than those that were starved, murdered...
