Well then is it *puts fig newtons down and sobs*
Reply:Think of this: What if you were hungry and you went to the refrigerator get something to eat. You open it and there's nothing there. You might SLAM the door and curse. Why? Because there ain't no food in there!



So I kind of think that was Jesus human side sticking out. Hey. All he found were leaves...

Jesus enjoyed figs otherwise he would not have cared if the tree had born fruit.



God gives you the ability to bear fruit. Each if us has different talents, different "fruits" we can bear.



If we refuse to bear the fruit, using the ability that God has blessed us with, we die like the fig tree.



Why is this so hard to understand? Read the parable of the "talents".



Matthew 21:

18Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

19And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

20And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

21Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

22And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Reply:Hmm... what do you mean by he hated them? I am guessing that you are talking about some parable he used them in, to teach a lesson... If he told a story using the fig tree as a bad example, well, he was not actually telling it about the fig tree. His stories never are literal; you have to figure out what he is really talking about.



Hope this helps!

Reply:Matthew 21:18-22, the cursing of the barren fig tree....



Christ's just expectations from flourishing professors are often frustrated and disappointed; he comes to many, seeking fruit, and finds leaves only, and he discovers it. Many have a name to live, and are not alive indeed; dote on the form of godliness, and yet deny the power of it. The sin of barrenness is justly punished with the curse and plague of barrenness; Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. As one of the chiefest blessings, and which was the first, is, Be fruitful; so one of the saddest curses is, Be no more fruitful. Thus the sin of hypocrites is made their punishment; they would not do good, and therefore they shall do none; he that is fruitless, let him be fruitless still, and lose his honour and comfort.



You are wrong when you say you thought it was evil to curse anything or anyone. It is not. It is wrong to curse something UNJUSTLY. Jesus did not curse the fig tree unjustly. He saw a fig tree, He expected to see figs, there were none, so He cursed it for not doing what the Lord had commanded, lo, those many years ago, to be FRUITFUL.



Have a blessed day!
