161 | what type of tree are fig trees? | Mark 11:13 | Emmaus | 151441 | ||
lmorrison, The fig tree is a symbol of Israel ( Jer 8:13; Hos 9:10). "Not the season for figs" is a little more difficult to understand. Why would Jesus curse a tree fro not having fruit, when it was not the season for the fruit? It may underscore the fact that Israel has not yet borne the fruit of repentance (Luke 13:6-9). The cursing of the fig tree is a visual prophecy of what happens to Jerusalem for killing the Messiah. The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. A similar point is made when Jesus overturns the money changers tables in the Temple in the next passage. The old way is being overturned, a new way and a new day is coming. Jersusalem and its authorities cursed Jesus and killed Him because they thought He could not be the Messiah, it was not the right "season" for the Messiah in their view. But Jesus rose and the fig tree He had cursed withered to the roots. The mountain that Jesus speaks of being moved by faith in Mark 11:23 is Jerusalem. Jesus moved it out of the picture by His faithfulness unto death and resurrection so that the whole world could worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:21-26). Emmaus |

169 | what did jesus mean in matt 8:21and 22 | Matt 8:22 | Emmaus | 149330 | ||
Jesus is saying let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead. The disciples first and highest obligation is to follow Him without putting it off by claiming worldly obligations such as Luke 9:59, "Lord, lwet me go and bury my father, then I will follow you." Compare the higher demand of Jesus for the New Cevenant disciple tot he reponse Elijah gave to Elisha in 1 Kings 19:19-21. In ancient Hebrew and Greeek culture, the duty to bury one's parent was considered a sacred duty. revgearyt60, Jesus is making a point. Not that burying the dead and fulfilling family obligations is unimportant, but that following Him, spiritual obligations and committment, without excuse is more important than even important, but wordly family obligations. This is the same point He is making in Matt 10:37 and 19:29 amd Luke 14:26. Emmaus |

170 | Good from evil? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 149310 | ||
WOS, "Can anything good come from evil?" Not by man, but God can take what man meant for evil and bring good from it. The primary example of this is our redemption by the crucifixion of Jeus. "In time we can discover that God in his almighty providence can bring a good from the consequences of an evil, even a moral evil, caused by his creatures: "It was not you", said Joseph to his brothers, "who sent me here, but God. . . You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive." (Gen 45:8; 50:20) From the greatest moral evil ever committed - the rejection and murder of God's only Son, caused by the sins of all men - God, by his grace that "abounded all the more", (Cf. Rom 5:20) brought the greatest of goods: the glorification of Christ and our redemption. But for all that, evil never becomes a good." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s2c1p4.htm#312 For man: "An evil action cannot be justified by reference to a good intention" (cf. St. Thomas Aquinas, Dec. praec. 6). The end does not justify the means. http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c1a4.htm#1759 Emmaus |

175 | can we be sure the Bible is valid? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Emmaus | 148846 | ||
Joe, The Christian faith is not a "religion of the book. Christianity is the religion of the "Word" of God, "not a written or mute word, but incarnate and living." The Holy Spirit working in and through the Body of Christ, the Church, inspired the writers of Sacred Scripture and led the Church to recognize what was inspired and what was not. The Church and Scripture are intricatley bond up in and to one another. The Church, the People of God, Old Testanment and New, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit brought forth the Sacred Scripture and recognizes her own. Emmaus |
