Sorry but where is Jesus' mother, God's wife?

Is She the Holy spirit?

Are the no females in that Heaven?

Your question is beyond the scope of mankind.God's genealogy was never stated anywhere. I only know what the bible had given so far.You could live a holy life,so that when you die and meet God face to face,He might give you answers to all your questions.Try googling saint Augustine's encounter with a small child at the river bank.God is a mystery,and until you learn to live with that,you will continue to grope till your end.

THE FIG TREE HAD ALL THE RESOURCES IT NEEDED TO PRODUCE FRUITS BUT INSTEAD IT PRODUCED LEAVES ! IT HAD ENOUGH WATER, ENOUGH OF EVERYTHING TO BEAR FRUITS YET IT DID NOT! SO WHAT IS THE USE OF A TREE THAT CANNOT BEAR FRUITS!

LESSONS FROM THE FIG TREE
WE HAVE GOT ALL THE RESOURCES WE NEED TO BEAR FRUITS, NO EXCUSES WILL BE ALLOWED ON THAT DAY! EXCUSES LIKE I WAS WAITING FOR ..............

DO NOT BE SELFISH! HAVE OTHERS IN MIND!

PEOPLE SHOULD STOP THE RUBBISH THEY ARE SAYING ALREADY ABOUT THEIR SAVIOUR! THEIR IGNORANCE IS OVERCOMING THEIR THOUGHTS! STOP NOW AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO LISTEN!!!!

Please I will like to advise someone over there. Dealing with the Almighty God one needs to be careful with the kind of comment you comments on religious matters, not that because you hate GOD or you are from the opposite religion you can say anything, brother or sister remember Koran Dathan and Abiram rebel against Moses and ground clip on them. Your own may be........................atheists or Infidel you are warned Number 16:1-33 please take your time and read it all. God bless you.

sukkot I don't have the energy to do this today but you just gotta know your explanations are what someone may call 'ridiculous', it just doesn't make sense, especially since you say the secret of heaven isn't given to everyone, yet somehow everyone is supposed to strive to make heaven or whatever.

To the unenlightened, all enlightened things are ridiculous

and to strive to make heaven is your deeds. you dont need a bible to know when you are being evil right ? all those things are programmed in you. and when your deeds please the LORD then he will invite you into the deeper understandings of his secrets but first your deeds have to be right. its all about your deeds. do not steal cheat adultery etc etc etc

you dont strive to make heaven just by reading the bible. there are people who have never read the bible who will make heaven. the deep understanding of the bible is for the priest class . everybody else just has to live according to the ways of God and thats how you will be called , and the ways of God are programmed in you. you know when you are straffing a married man that you are doing wrong lol

Hmmm.... Maybe God hates women then.

If I want to reason spiritually, I think that God hates women. I don't want to be a part of a God that hates my kind.
I guess I'm going to hell then.

Jesus didn't curse the tree per say. He just said what he said in passing and He wasn't looking at it when they were coming back the next day. You didn't say Jesus's response after Peter reminded him that the tree had died. He said have faith in God.
What Jesus tried to teach His disciples was that if you have faith, whatever you say shall come to pass because the bible says the power of life and death is in the tongue.
In conclusion, He wasn't showing off; He demonstrated His faith in God.

Why not use faith to bring out the fruits instead of cursing the innocent tree that is nature's work?

Please, how do I dare it?

God is suppose to be all knowing. He created everything and knows everything. If Jesus was God, then how come he didn't know that the fig tree had no fruit. And Jesus was so hungry and angry that he had to curse a tree? Somebody is lying here.

Sirwallace:


guy, the reason you gave up there are as crappy as lame. cursing an innocent tree to teach them about faith! that's lame.

secondly, God created heaven and heart not Jesus Christ.

lastly, admit he made a ridiculous mistake which was not supposed to be documented in the bible. common sense will tell all the right thinking man that what he does is inappropriate and needless.

there was no mistake. from the beginning Adam and Eve use the fig tree to cover their unclothedness after they ate the forbidden fruit, the unclothedness that God sent his son to come and cover for us.

KORLAR:


How's Jesus the creator of the world?

Genesis made us to understand that God said in the beginning.... Let us make man in our own image... Who was he talking to? A question to be answered later.
John 1:1 says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and God was the word. Vs 2 says .. And the world became flesh and dwelt among us and we behel his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father. From these verses, let's bring out some correlations. The word which was in the beginning John 1:1 dwelt among us. Also the word was God. That's where trinity comes. That means God, jesus , and the holy spirit are supernatural bodies in ONE. that's to tel that JESUS was there in the beginning when the world was created

Having reviewed the general chronological setting of the story, we can begin to answer some of manyquestions that are often asked of it. First of all is the question, Why did Jesus curse the fig tree if it was not the right season for figs? The answer to this question can be determined by studying the characteristics of fig trees. The fruit of the fig tree generally appears before the leaves, and, because the fruit is green it blends in with the leaves right up until it is almost ripe. Therefore, when Jesus and His disciples saw from a distance that the tree had leaves, they would have expected it to also have fruit on it even though it was earlier in the season than what would be normal for a fig tree to be bearing fruit. Also, each tree would often produce two to three crops of figs each season. There would be an early crop in the spring followedby one or two later crops. In some parts of Israel, depending on climate and conditions, it was also possible that a tree might produce fruit ten out of twelve months. This also explains why Jesus and His disciples would be looking for fruit on the fig tree even if it was not in the main growing season. The fact that the tree already had leaves on it even though it was at a higher elevation around Jerusalem, and therefore would have been outside the normal season for figs, would have seemed to be a good indication that there would also be fruit on it.

bro, its all in the scripture.
if you read the whole chapter, you'll get to hear when Peter acknowledged that the tree he cursed actually died.

Why did he curse the fig tree
1. Jesus is the creator of the world
In the beginning, all trees he created rought forth fruits in and out of season, there was always fruits for Adam and Eve to eat. As the creator, he expected that the fig should have fruits wether its his season or not. The fig should have responded to His demand at least.
Remember Jesus said, everyone of us who does not bear fruit, my father will uproot, and those of us who do bear fruits, He will trim so that we bear even much fruit.

2. He cursed the tree to teach them about Faith
when Peter acknowledged that the fig tree he cursed actually died, Jesus told them to "have faith in God"
He told them that if they have the slightest level of Faith, they can speak to a mountain to move from where it is to another place and it will happen as it happened to the fig tree.

As a Christian, if you put the little faith you received (as you got born again ) to use, nothing shall be impossible to you. You can speak to anything including money and it will answer you.

I am still not understanding to be sincere with u.
we know each fruits have its season, mango produces around April, Udara produces around December, so I guess the in and out of season means that there will always be a fruit available at each season, it mustnt necessarily be a particular fruit, that why Adam and Eve had plenty fruits to eat.....or are u saying that there's a reason why fruits stopped germinating "in and out of season"

You could even ask,why did he create man first instead of woman?But if their was no woman within the God's family,then how did the idea of feminine figure come about.Some theologians argues that God has a more feminine character compared to masculine character and for that tilts more to being a female than male but since he created male first,I think that's why God is male.God is love and does not hate anyone.Everything listed above is an assumption except God is love,He loves everyone both male and female.

Mark 11:12-14 says,
The next day, as they were coming back from Bethany, Jesus was hungry. He saw in a distance a fig tree covered with leaves, so He went to see if He could find any figs on it. But when He came to it, he found only leaves, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE RIGHT TIME FOR FIGS. Jesus said to the fig tree " No one shall ever eat figs from you again!" And His disciples heard Him.

then verses 20-21 says
Early the next morning, as they walked along the road, they saw the fig tree. It was dead all the way down to its root. Peter remembered what happened and said "look, Teacher, the fig tree you cursed has died!"

So my brethren, I ask, because I am not understanding. since it wasn't time for the fig to bear fruits, was He really expecting to see some figs up there? I know every fruit and.plants have their seasons. Is there suppose to be some kinda miracle fruit up there?
Pls someone should explain plz, I want to understand.

The fig tree was unproductive and God is using that to elucidate how unproductive people will be jettisoned and thrown off d radar of God's protection at the end of the world.

I dont knw why a "harmless nd peaceful" will place an eternal curse on an innocent fig tree...i mean what sin has d fig tree commintted to ve recieved such treatment?


Is it that jesus is not what bible portrays him to be...somebody had better explain this

The sin the gig tree comited is not bearing fruit when it has all the resource to do that why take nutrients when you know you can't produce all that event was a practical parable to us that any tree i.e. U and me that dose not bear fruit on that day of harvest shall be cut and dump in the lake of fire simple be wise

see lie at its peak. Firstly jesus created the world, from which scripture? Then who created jesus? Who impregnated Mary? Why cursing the frig tree when it is not the time to bear fruit? And, you are here saying is because of faith that you can as well move a mountain. That's wickedness. Call a spade a spade.

[b]well like i said its only the priest class who will know the secrets. not everyone in heaven knows the secrets or else there will not be heirachy. so doesnt mean you will not make heaven if you dont know the secrets. it just means maybe you will not be in the priest class. its like ancient egypt or atlantis ? only the priest class knew all the secrets. its like america and england ? only the illuminated elites know all the secrets which is why they have private freemasonic lodges to hide the secrets. in the running of the world there will always be an illuminated priest class and then everyone else. thats how the universe is set up. point being there is heirachy in heaven and just cuz you dont know the secrets of the bible does not mean you will not be in the kingdom. however to make it to heaven your deeds have to be acceptable. its like the saying ' do unto others what you want them to do to you '. therein lies all the requirement. nobody wants anyone doing evil to them or stealing from them or etc etc so dont do it to others and only then will heaven be established on earth. its all about your deeds and the deeds are programmed in you. you dont need a bible to tell you when you are doing wrong[/b]

hopefulLandlord:
So, Jesus is walking from Bethany and he’s feeling a bit peckish. He encounters a fig tree, but unfortunately it is barren as it’s the off season for figs. Annoyed, Jesus demands the fig tree bear him fruit, however the fig tree doesn’t respond (it’s a tree), so Jesus, in an act of uncharacteristic rashness, curses the fig tree to death. This story is bizarre for many reasons, but mainly for how little it means to the Jesus story and how Jesus seems to react so harshly. OK, so he’s hungry, and we all get a little cranky when hungry, but come on, the fig tree had done nothing wrong. This just seems like abuse of powers to me.



The moral of this story? I honestly can’t think of one. This story seems so unimportant and purposeless yet both Mark and Matthew mention it so it must have some importance.

The best I can think of is: don’t disobey Jesus, even if you’re an inanimate tree.

You seem to believe in the power of Jesus Christ to curse a tree and it died immediately. That same Jesus is the same yesterday, Today and for ever.

You'll experience the power of Jesus Christ in your life. Amen.

I quite agree with your second point.
I feel Jesus at that moment reacted to the fig tree in his human flesh "An hungry man is an angry man".
