b'There are times when we are faced with scriptures that don\\u2019t really make sense. It\\u2019s difficult to put two and two together. But that doesn\\u2019t mean that we\\u2019ve already failed in understanding it. We have to remember that not being able to discern certain scriptures is perfectly fine. After all, the Bible isn\\u2019t always clear.\\xa0\\nIn today\\u2019s episode, we queer a Bible scripture that a listener requested. This is a text from Mark 11:12-14 which briefly talks about Jesus getting angry at a fig tree for bearing no fruits. Mind you that during that time, the fig tree wasn\\u2019t in the season to bear fruit. So listen on to hear what we think about this passage and of Jesus\\u2019 anger.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, we talk about:\\n\\nFr.

From far away, he noticed a fig tree in leaf, so he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing except leaves, since it wasn\\u2019t the season for figs. So he said to it, \\u201cNo one will ever again eat your fruit!\\u201d His disciples heard this.\\n\\nPhoto by\\xa0Steve Knutson\\nThe post Jesus Gets Hangry – Mark 11:12-14 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
