Matthew 21:18-21

Matthew 21:19

As the passage before passage number 19 (18) just literally sets the scene by stating where the main character is as well as that Jesus was hungry it. So where should Jesus go to now? Then he walks a little further along and he finds a fig tree in the way (really I don't think mr Jesus would have found a fig tree in the middle of a path they should be somewhere along the edges) but that being said he walks up to the tree and notices that there isn't any fruit open the tree it is just branches and leaves, Now he gets a bit peeved and he displays his anger in the form of a curse by condemning  the tree to be fruitless forever. Which I have thought a bit too drastic as it may not have been in if this Jesus freak ever existed and then all of the figs au have already been eaten by the citizens of the city. But either way it proves naught.the fig tree could have died thanks to some plant poised or just luck what would be a miracle would be by him saying you have to grow figs constantly for ever then there ŵold sill be proof left of his existence and everyone would have figs to eat in the middle east = no famine just malnutrition.

Matthew 21:21

After 19 (20) states that all of jesus's followers/disciples are amazed and then they question Jesus, and jesus's answer is not satisfactory and it's actually quite armful for the human mind to entertain, in my opinion, as what he says afterwards is that you/me to not be like me/skeptical and just says if you have faith you can do that and more. As he states within the passage that you shouldn't doubt just have faith and it shall be done now that is a harmful mindset to have nought but faith in the invisible presence of a big brother like figure in your heads judging you for things that have been generally accepted within modern times, for example homosexuality which is generally accepted in the majority. The majority of Canada and Brazil. The worst places for accepting homosexuality around the globe that have been monitored by the Wikipedia page that you can get to by clicking on the following link.
