, even though it was out of season. Jesus must not be as smart as Christians would have us believe, for he was retarded enough to do something this silly. You’d think the son of god (god incarnate) would know that trees don’t bear fruit in dry season. Mark 11:13

It is obvious, an act like this shows how egoistical the nature of someone who pretends to do miracles...
I am not some anti-christian (on the contrary, I am an orthodox), but everybody has to admit the fact that a person who claims to be son of god is not expected to go to a tree unknowing there is no fruit... (he must be all-seeing, all-knowing) and this seems to show Christ's childish anger for not being as omnipotent as he wished to.
My conclusion is: the worst that could happen to a (son of) god is surprise :D

That tree was not out of season. It had leaves on it.
Mark 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
You are the one who knows nothing about Jesus and are foolish enough to presume that you do.
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

He was acting out a parable...kinda hard on the tree, but the point he was making was that we have the responsibility to be growing and fruitful because we don't know when the call is going to come, we should be prepared.
Also, having dried up the tree, when the disciples saw it later they realised that Jesus really did have the power to do what he said.
He had reasons for everything he did and said, which is more than I can say for some people on this board.

OK...you defiantly weren't there at the time when that happened, so we cant tell what season it was and don't know all the reasons why he did it. You cant blame God for doing something so smart that we don't understand...Hey, He has his reasons like we do too...I guess we will never understand the things of God completely...just that he is an amazing, all knowing God and knows your destiny...give God a chance...OK?

I am so confused, God created the tree but his son killed it? Doesn't seem like the Christian thing to do.

Deities have tempers too, you know. It's like God getting p*ssed off and taking down whole cities or all the first-born and stuff.
The fig doesn't fall very far from the tree, you know!

It was an EXAMPLE. He was comparing it to Christians who don't act like Christians. Read the rest of the chapter.
