Bible Question (short): Fig tree meaning? son of man meaning? |
Question (full): What if anything am I suposed to know about a fig tree when I read this passage. Is it a place that no one would know that you were there other than God or Christ? What about this is to spur Nathanael to have faith, and more importantly, the reader who strives for faith. I feel like the fig tree is the body of the son of man, because in the next verse Jesus says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." Can some one tell me what is the distinct difference between the son of man and the son of God. Is Jesus talking about just one man? or all of the people in the whole world? or just all the people who worship the flesh but feel very bad about it because it is a sin and want to get rid of their sin? I heard that the church is the body of christ in the common desire to glorify God. If the church is the body of Christ then is the rest of the people the body of man? I feel confused. Jesus says this in a way that body of man is not a bad thing but a good thing because he said to nathanael he will see the heavens open in the son of man. I think man is one who aspires to know Christ. and those who do not are like no better than the animals and do not go with the body of man and are not called men in terms of what the words mean. I apologige for the last two questions i posted that were near duplicates of pervious questions. I didn't know that if I scroll down I would see other people's similar questions. I am still learning how to use the board efficiently. |
