Subject: Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? |
Bible Note: Greetings Colin, I believe that the curse and withering of the fig tree is not a lesson on 'doing in faith' at all. I do not believe 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. Please read my past two posts on why I believe that Jesus cursed and withered the fig tree. Blessings to you my friend, Makarios |
