If u care to understand, notice "fools" as seems to be mentioned by Jesus often refers to religious leaders? Jesus never spoke English... this is translational ambiguity. He, in Aramaic (language of first version of bible)was actually referring to over comptemted people - then religious leaders.

"You that say "you fool" " means "you that is contempt..." asper knowledge. (To me, it's a smart way of drawing their attention)

See footnote of NIV bible. That part of the verse is labelled (c) and explained at the footnote.

Jesus as a man worked very hard. His accomplishments as a man is second to non- He synthesized knowledge. His "follwership" was and still is amazing... even till today, ppl still die 4 him. People give in everything for him! If not 4 anything respect him for that.

You can criticize anyone... even God, but try and study your object of criticism well before you criticize. Otherwise I will be tempted to call you a fool.

Exactly what is going to happen to you. You are the today's fig tree, your comments bear no fruits. Curses and death awaits you on the last day if you don't repent

ume1000:
the tree was not productive

It was wasting the nutrients of the soil for a long time

Just like our politicians (the fig tree), instead of doing the right thing(fuster development and bear fruits ) they choose the direct opposite while wasting the limited resources (nutrients in the fight tree case and our revenue in Nigeria's case)

So what would you have the farmer (God )do to the unproductive fig tree (greedy leaders)
Note "they intentionally decided to be unproductive "

Bless or curse them

Kay25:
Did he curse any man?

Did your mother use, or does she still use firewood to cook? What advice did you give to her?

fortran12:
All things were created by him. So your opinion does not matter. Did the tree complain? Or whn did you become an activist. How many trees have you planted since birth?
If i own something i do it as i wish. When you create your own trees do them as you wish

AntiChristian:
Your Lord was hungry! Sorry Jesus was hungry so he cursed....
So you mean Jesus created the tree that was fruitless yet he didn't remember the tree he created was fruitless till he cursed it.
He forgot he would be hungry and that the tree would in future satisfy his cravings! Why didn't he created it fruitful? Why didn't he bless it to produce?

It doesn't add up! Please think!

AntiChristian:
Is this what the Holy Spirit reveal to you or your own thoughts? Can you even differentiate between the two?

Anyway, Jesus was hungry and the hunger lead to the curse! I am not Hungry so don't interpret nonsense!

femi4:
That's the interpretation of what Jesus did to the fig tree warning people like you that lack understanding of parables and non verbal communication

Yes, Jesus is still hungry for your good deeds, a failure of which you ll end up like that fig tree

fortran12:
Please think too, he did as he pleased, when you create your own, do as you please, No one tells you how to spend your own money. I hope my analogy is good enough

AntiChristian:
Not good nor sound!

fortran12:
Lol. Prove me wrong with logic as i did

AntiChristian:
You claimed Jesus created the tree.

1. Did he create the tree to be fruitful?

2. Did the tree disobey him?

3. Did he forget he created the tree and it was not fruitful?

This is logic.

AntiChristian:
I don't think so!

Matthew 23:33
"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

Luke 11:40
You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?

Matthew 16:23
Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

Do you?

AntiChristian:
I don't think so!

Matthew 23:33
"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

Luke 11:40
You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?

Matthew 16:23

Do you?

AntiChristian:
Sorry, we now use gas!

AntiChristian:
You claimed Jesus created the tree.

1. Did he create the tree to be fruitful?

2. Did the tree disobey him?

3. Did he forget he created the tree and it was not fruitful?

This is logic.

AntiChristian:
But didn't Jesus create the tree in the first place? Why did he forgot the tree he created was non-productive?
Kindly ask the Holy spirit was went wrong with the fig tree? Can Jesus cure the tree to produce fruit? Why didn't he?

femi4:
The fig tree was created by God, God hides nothing from his Son. He knows the capabilities of the fig tree. Everything needed for the fig tree to blossom was provided. You ve heard about Jesus Christ and everything he represents, you have no excuse for not bearing fruits. Everything needed for you to change your ways has been provided. On that day, just like the fig tree .....it will be curse and death hanging on your head if you don't repent now

PRE4:
The Logic of the tree is more emphasized this way:
The tree is humanbeing God have given the freewill to bear good fruit yet it decided to remain fruitless,so therefore whosoever beareth not good fruit will be cursed and it will wither away because it never achieve its purpose ofcreation.
That curses and withering written in the Bibles signifies that God will hand over the unfruitful over to Reprobate mind.Then it becomes useless as a withered tree.

paix:
Before now, what were you using?

Kay25:
oh antichrist you are ..hahaha haha Jesus still loves you take it or leave it

Kay25:
is that a curse?if you behave foolishly and I say you are foolish is that a curse?will that leads to your death?

fortran12:
Its also logic that he created the tree. Its his tree and he has the right to do as he wills. First answer this question can i tell you how to spend your money?
If yes then you can questions Jesus authority over the tree he created.

AntiChristian:
I disagree. Jesus was hungry in real time and he cursed the tree. It is not figurative.

AntiChristian:
Which verse of the Bible states that everything needed for the fig tree to blossom was provided?

And Jesus was definitely not aware.

AntiChristian:
Trying to avoid the questions you can't answer is illogical.

AntiChristian:
We use DPK.

AntiChristian:
"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

Hell Ke?

AntiChristian:
Where and when did he tell you that?

paix:
What's DPK? What kind of wood is that?
