P.W.: 'Alright, About a century or 2 ago, the pope, decided that all the Jews had to leave Rome. Naturally is was an uproar for the Jewish community, so the pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with the Jewish community. If the Jews won, so they could stay. If the pope won, the Jews could leave. The Jews realise they had no choice. They decided to pick a middle aged man named Moishi, to represent them. Moishi had one addition to the debate. To make the debate a lot more interesting, neither side were allowed to talk. The pope agreed.
The day of the great debate came. Moishi and the pope sat opposite of each other for a full minute before the pope raise his hand and point 3 fingers. Moishi looked back at him and raise 1 finger. The pope, raise his one finger, wave a circle around his head. Moishi pointed to the ground where he sat. The pope pulled out a waffle and a glass of wine. Moishi pulled out an apple. The pope stood up, he gave up and said this man is too good. The Jews can stay.
An hour later the people gathered around pope and ask the pope, what had happened. The pope said "First I pulled up 3 fingers to represent the Trinity, then he responded by pulled out one finger and reminded me of there is still one God in common of both of out religion. Then i waved with one finger around my head to tell him that God is all around us. Then he pointed to the ground to show that God is right here with us. Then I pulled out a glass of wine and a waffle to show that God lifts our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He had answer for everything. What could i do??
Meanwhile, The jewish community had crowded around Moishi, asked him, what happened there?? The He answered the pope showed, ' You have 3 days to get outta here. I told them only one of us is leaving! Then he told me that the whole city will be cleared of Jews! I let him know that we are staying right here!'
'Yes yes then what?' asked the crowd.
'Well i don't know' said Moishi. ' He took out his lunch and I took out mine.'

If God is for us, who can be against us. He has His own creative ways to get things done through us even if we cannot understand/comprehend it.
