When Jesus showed wrath against the fig tree and cursed it for having the audacity to not bear fruit...?

When Jesus showed wrath against the fig tree and cursed it for having the audacity to not bear fruit...?
I've always wanted a t-shirt of a fig tree and a WWJD underneath it. Nobody but a handful would get it tho... :(
Reply:He made the fig tree, he could do what he wanted to with it, I guess.
Reply:Hey look up.. it just passed over your head



Don't know what an example of fatih with out works is do you?
Reply:He was making a point for his disciples benefit. Read a little context before asking silly questions.
Reply:Pretty much. He showed the perfect example of how to overreact when you can't have your way.
Reply:He was showing example of typical Christian morals and behavior.
Reply:If you do not bear fruit you will be cut down. This is a parable to teach a lesson.
Reply:the tree was sinning and it wouldn't repent, so Jesus cursed it so that it would go to hell

it says in the bible that not bearing fruit is a deadly sin, so you can't say that the tree didn't get any warning
Reply:It wasn't about him being angry, It was to show his disciples an example
Reply:The fig tree is a symbol. It represents Judaism. Jesus was unhappy with Judaism, his own religion, for not fulfilling its promise. Later he was very unhappy with the corrupt leaders of his religion for their corruption and hypocrisy. And it was criticizing them openly and loudly that got him put out of the way.



This is why you can't take the entire Bible literally. Why would a man as wise, and as -good- as Jesus get angry with a -tree-?

Reply:The story is so stupid that the churches always finish up telling us that the fig tree represented Judaism and Jesus was angry with the corruption inside the religion.



But as soon as the atheists are out of sight, every church puts the story back onto its list of miracles performed by Jesus.
Reply:Clearly you do not understand it
Reply:Jesus was showing us a spiritual lesson in this act. If we do not bear heavenly fruit through obedience then we too shall be damned.
Reply:He certainly wasn't forgiving, especially considering it wasn't the season for figs.
Reply:Yes. That, and he also showed that he couldn't produce miracles on demand.
Reply:You obviously don't understand that scripture ...I'm sorry for you...So many people on here asking questions amiss?
Reply:A hungry man is an angry man.
Reply:Jesus got in a fight with a tree? What religion am I following?
Reply:No, in fact Jesus was plenty full of sin. Guess the whole bit about him being without sin is a pile of ****. Wasn't him being without sin the whole reason why he was able to "die for us"?



Religious people must be quite gullible.
Reply:Parables were often used by Jesus to teach difficult concepts. For example the story of the mustard seed was used to as example that great things start from just tiny seeds of information, or from tiny actions (FYI - a mustard seed is tiny and the plant can grow to 4 feet tall). The incident with the fig tree occurs in Mark 11 immediately before and then after the incident at the Temple. The cursing of the tree displays Jesus' power (to wither a tree with just His words) and the power of prayer coupled with full belief in God. Mark, placing the fig tree before and after the incident at the Temple, may be using the fig tree as a metaphor, as Jesus himself might have, for what he sees as the barrenness of the priests (technically, the Temple priests were the Sadducees) and the withering of their teaching and authority due to their lack of true faith. Just as Jesus hoped to find fruit on the fig tree, Jesus hoped to find "fruit", the fruit of true worship of God, at the Temple, and did not. The Temple, Herod's Temple, like the fig tree, is cursed. See also Jeremiah 8:13.
Reply:the fig tree in my backyard has 2 seasons, it brings fruit in summer and also around november, ide research your question and see when Jesus was talking. but i just see no point
