LordReed:
Matthew 13
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Jesus said the mustard seed grows into a tree however there is no mustard specie that grows into a tree. Sure they can grow quite large,as much as 12feet in some cases but it still doesn't qualify it as a tree.

solite3:

So you are the one that determine what makes a tree.
Smh so much supidity

coluka:
So what should we do about that?

LordReed:


Note it as one of the inaccuracies of the bible.

eposho:

Is the whole novel not a gigantic inaccuracies?

solite3:

Smh so much supidity

LordReed:


And you are such a dumbass that you can't tell the difference between a shrub and a tree. I bet you also can't find your arse with both hands in broad daylight.

solite3:
Atheism is all about stupidity that is why it seek to prove what it said does not exist wrong.
Some mustard plant are over 10feet long and can be considered a tree.

orisa37:
Jesus did not write the Gospel. So please accuse Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

hakeem4:
Wow!!!! Holy smokes! Well there has to be a criteria for something before it is categorised. For example Pluto didn’t fall in the category of a planet because it didn’t posses any of the characteristics.

So if there’s no criteria before you consider something a tree then anyone can just wake up and call a spirogyra a tree

---

Back to the OP. It might not really be a serious case, because the people who wrote the bible didn’t understand how the world works. They wrote it based on what they understood maybe at that time it was classified a tree.

But it becomes wrong if you try to use the bible as a science text book to explain how the natural world works

wickedtuna:
Hello bro. I am glad you first stated it was a parable, so have you tried seeking the actual esoteric meaning behind that statement? It could also be likened to the case of the rejected stone ultimately being the chief corner stone. Cheers

LordReed:


No dumbass, a tree is generally over 20feet. Besides the mustard plant does not have a single stem like a tree does. Even if your secondary education was poor, you could have just googled this info.

solite3:
you are really dumb.
So some people sat down and decided a tree should be 20 feet which was only a few years ago so it should affect how people saw trees thousands of years ago.

I give up on your stupidity

LordReed:


Your are a certified international dumbass if you think people of that time did not have an idea of the difference between a shrub and a tree. Was Moses recorded as hearing from a burning bush or a burning tree? Fúcktard.

But Jesus is supposed to be god right? So the same god does not know tree from shrub?

He is supposedly giving a message for generations to come and cannot exhibit an knowledge a 1st century CE person does already know?

glowingflame7:


It is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree. Very simple English this. He said IT IS a/an herb. Very clear enough. To BECOME means it is not. IF you become a woman, it means you are not a woman. Very simple. You can't become what you are, can you?
All these clever by half unbelievers. You that knows science more than God. Of what benefit/relevance are you to your family, not to mention the world that Jesus is eternally relevant to?

jesusjnr:
And yet you'd still be going to church every Sunday lifting up your hands and singing, "I love you Jesus more than anything", and here you'd be forming atheist.

Such a hypocrite!

paxonel:


Do you realize that the cross on which Jesus was crucified was called tree in those days?

You fail to understand that word use has changed over time

hopefulLandlord:


Bamboo is still classified as "Grass" even though it can grow taller than 82 feet. Google "Tallest Grass"

LordReed:


That could be understood to mean it was wood taken from a tree.

LMFAO! Dundi, I also say I love Harry Potter and Batman, I guess that makes them real too. Whoever you sold your brain, to go and retrieve it o.
