Hey, New Haven. I am?
Well, John. Guess I would have to say
A James Bond Walther ppk.
I know he packed the Evil Eye on occasion; he made a fruit tree die because it didn't have any fruit on it.
He made a tree die because it didn't have fruit? Why on earth did he do that?
The time of the fig was not yet.
I guess it was out of season for figs.
But, it would provide shade in the desert. Grrrr.....
Matthew 21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
Ok Ok enough! I'm gonna say something I'll regret saying.
That's exactly the way that passage affected me.
I never had anything against jesus until I read that passage.
I read that as a child and have never gotten over it. Once in Kansas City an acquaintance and his wife cut down a beautiful fruit tree because of that passage.
Interesting how this has turned to a more serious thought. Edgar's post made me remember this message:
LITTLE FOXES
(Little compromises that cause big problems)
Song of Solomon 2:15 says, "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." Foxes sometime in search of food would enter into the grape orchards and devour the grapes and spoil the crop. However, the little foxes were too small to reach the grape bunches so they would chew on the vines and it would kill the whole vine. Instead of the farmer just losing his crop, he would lose his vine which was more disastrous.
And what has this to do with Jesus packin' heat? Absolutely nothing. Sorry, I just thought is was beautiful.
But the tree had no tender figs.
Perhaps Jesus could use tactical nukes.
that would certainly LIGHT up my life
I guess sooner or later if you packin' heat, you gonna use it...
Unless you're in an igloo cos that would melt it and make you wet
Hmmmmmm....not jesus it wouldn't...
