1 | Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? | Matt 21:19 | flinkywood | 101828 | ||
Makarios, I read your posts several times, yet this event is so jarringly odd that I can't settle completely upon your interpretation; as fitting as it is it just does not fit completely (which is too much to ask of interpretation, actually); however, it is so true to say that Jesus "...first intended to teach the disciples a lesson on faith when He first cursed and withered the fig tree, but caught Himself doing so when they 'marveled' at it." This is nicely said, amigo. I forget sometimes that Jesus did operate in real time. The trouble with scripture, especially the life of Jesus, is how to put myself in the scene, to imagine it as though I had been present. This particular event is so strange that I really come up short. In my mind I'm standing with the others basically scratching my head. I tell you, If I'd been a disciple, I'd have had callouses on my fingers from scratching my head over Jesus. Colin |

2 | Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? | Matt 21:19 | Makarios | 101928 | ||
Greetings my friend! I completely understand! I'm right there with you, scratching my head sometimes over what Jesus has shown us! :-) Perhaps I am not right, perhaps I am wrong, and you are more correct in your interpretation of what that passage meant.. I simply explained that passage on how it makes sense to me. :-) But I really had to study the whole fig tree event to come to the understanding that I came to, pouring many hours into it.. But the conclusion that I came to does make sense to me, since it does paint the picture of a "real time event", rather than think "two dimensionally" on a black and white (sometimes red) piece of paper and ink.. Blessings to you my friend, Makarios |

Makarios, Good onya mate, you helped me a pile. I'm really respecting the NASB Psalms, by the way, so nitty-gritty. What is it about the NASB, man? Colin |
