Mark 11:12-14, 19-25

The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it.

When evening came, they went out of the city.

In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"

"Consequently atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning." -"Mere Christianity", C.S. Lewis

Libel is the source of all God's teachings.

He inspired me to write it as I said. Anyway, it starts off with how God created everything. It started with the great campfire. God roasted marshmallows over the great campfire and as little bits of moten burning marshmallows dropped, they formed the stars. The planets were made from heavenly gobstoppers, and he populated them with Gummi Bears, which evolved into everything you see today.

Concerning his main teachings, God sent his favourite pet, Rover, to earth. Rover was God's only dog, and he was sent to be a guide dog. To guide God's sheeply flock in the right direction. Unfortunately all the other bad religions were dog wardens and put him to sleep because he didn't have a collar. Rover died for us.

Now you can't say any of this is wrong. God inspired me to write Libel, and it is the word of God. It's all fact. It's in the Libel. All you have to do is read Libel if you don't believe. Fact.

God may not be proven but their is no better hypothesis for the creation of the universe. so to disregard a theory without a better one requires a certain amount of faith in the beliefs they hold.
Atheists you must surely accept this

Tolerance=Accepting everyone and everything they do no matter what. Putting acceptance above worth. No punishments. No rules. No critisism. No opinions. No convictions.

Love=Selflessly and purely putting the happiness of others above your own pride and recognizing the worth of everyone. No hate of persons. Little Critisism. Rules. Punishment. Service. Sacrifice. Mercy. Justice.

I was praying and I felt the face of Jesus smiling at me. His Presence came around me like a white mist and I felt Him shine His light of His face on me. It seemed like I was immersed into the waters of reality. It felt like He made a million curtains fall around me and all the truth behind them was shining and revealed. The atmosphere around me felt sharp and crisp and my mind felt like every cell in my brain was illuminated and smiling. It seemed like He took me thru another realm. All I could do was smile at Him and adore Him in prayer.

Ever have a similar experience ? Can you share it ?

Gal 2:11-14
(11) When Cephas came to Antioch, I had to openly oppose him because he was completely wrong.
(12) He ate with people who were not Jewish until some men James had sent from Jerusalem arrived. Then Cephas drew back and would not associate with people who were not Jewish. He was afraid of those who insisted that circumcision was necessary.
(13) The other Jewish Christians also joined him in this hypocrisy. Even Barnabas was swept along with them.
(14) But I saw that they were not properly following the truth of the Good News. So I told Cephas in front of everyone, "You're Jewish, but you live like a person who is not Jewish. So how can you insist that people who are not Jewish must live like Jews?"

If Peter was hypocrite and not in line with the teaching of the gospel then surely he is not the right person to be anointed by Jesus to Head his Church? How can a hypocrite and a deviant be allowed to carry the very message of such a great man: JESUS?
