Bible Note: Greetings SRN! Since I don't know you, I don't really know what you do with your thumb! :-) But, I wasn't aware that you asked me a question. All I saw in your response to my post was the statement that "Fig Tree" referred to a splinter political group (one of many). I was just curious as to your source for this information. I have never heard of it before. Concerning Judges 9:10-11, obviously this passage is an allegory or parable. A good literalist understands that one should read poetry as poetry, history as history, narrative as narrative, ect.... If you clarify your question, I will be glad to share my thoughts with you. But please, tone down the hostility! We are all friends here! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
