Subject: Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? |
Bible Note: 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 |
