Mark 11v12 An interesting event. My 100% man savior, he's hungry.
As they left Bethany the next day, he was hungry.
(ASV) And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.
14 Then he said to the tree, "No one will ever eat fruit from you again!" His disciples heard this.
- check it out JC never CURSE the tree, he purely said to it and it happen.
so watch it when you are hungry and angry, you can still keep ya cool.
becareful what you say, it contain POWER in your speech.
vs 17
(MSG) And then he taught them, quoting this text: My house was designated a house of prayer for the nations; You've turned it into a hangout for thieves.
- JC defination of church??
- a place for prayer
- for the nations
so if we goes to church for buying and selling eg. MLM, insurance etc..
the church become a hangout for thieves = pple of such?
anyway is just a thought to ponder..
mark 12vs 29 the only commandment, LOVE GOD & LOVE OTHERS.
CEV) It is also true that we must love God with all our heart, mind, and strength, and that we must love others as much as we love ourselves. These commandments are more important than all the sacrifices and offerings that we could possibly make."
SEE: if we dont even love others or take your friends for granted, so what you are serving. You failed in loving.

Mar 12:38 He continued teaching. "
Watch out / beware for the religion scholars. They love to walk around in academic gowns, preening in the radiance of public flattery,
Mar 12:39 basking in prominent positions, sitting at the head table at every church function.
They rob widows by taking their houses and then say long prayers to make themselves look good. The scribes will receive the most severe punishment."
~ seems like the religion scholars are people that read religion scribe. They are the leader of the organisation, they love the important seats = position. They dont seems to like to mingle with the crowd or the poor.
Jesus told us to BEWARE OF SUCH LEADERS.
