Paul's Jesus has virtually no earthly history, except that he was born of parents descended from David and died by crucifixion, and appeared to 500 of the faithful after his death. (If I've omitted any details here, I doubt they were reports of Jesus' bad form.)
The three synoptic versions of...
It doesn't say anything about him being in a fit of rage. That might be how people often picture it, but I don't see any reason in the text to think that he was in a fit of rage.
There are a few passages in the Bible that claim Jesus was sinless, including 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22; and 1 John 3:5. However, the scriptures about his bad reaction to the money changers in the temple (Matthew 21:12–13; Mark11:15–17; and John 2:13–16) plainly illustrate...
And disrespectful to the other members of his family (Mark 3:31-35).
And there's this charming policy statement ─
Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a...
According to the scriptures breaking anyone of Gods 10 commandments is the very definition of what sin is. If you break anyone of Gods 10 commandments according to James in James 2:10-11 we stand guilty before God of breaking all of them. Those who continue practicing known unrepentant sin...
According to the scriptures, which are the only definition of what is true and what is not true (Romans 3:4; John 17:17) 'Israel' "born after the flesh of the seed of Abraham", as an unbelieving 'nation', is left desolate (Matthew 23:38; Luke 13:35), to bear no more fruit ever again (Matthew...
This is blasphemy of the most high via spaghetti on the wall fallacy. "God's new covenant" you say.
Which God are you referring to .. "Ha Satan" ? chief God on Earth .. this "New Covenant" .. and what about the Old Covenants .. have you rejected these Gods ?
"All those who...
GOD'S ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES ARE NOW ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND OBEY GOD'S WORD!
According to the scriptures, the name "Israel" is only a name given by God to all those who choose to have faith in His Word. In the new covenant scriptures, I would like to pose that...
It was in another mention of it and I'm glad I read it because it can be very hard to forgive others sometimes. So Jesus likened that to deep faith. Mark11--
20As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots. 21Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi...
Hi Rival. Good evening. You ask a very good question and skimming over the answers by Chr-stians it appears many refuse to handle the Word of Yahweh honestly which demonstrates an impure heart. If people want to find an excuse to give in to their carnal natures and not struggle against that...
@Ajax Remember Jesus' reply to Peter:
"Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them. 23Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him. 24Therefore I tell you...
I beg to differ...
Generally speaking, ready to eat figs in no way appear in March. I have read all these apologetic excuses. Just ask yourself one simple question.
How could Mark know that March is not the season for figs in Israel? The answer is obviously that he had never seen edible figs in...
What Jesus did was not cruel insofar as I see cruelty. You think it was, but anyway, let's go over some facts about fig trees.
Figs can ripen at various times during a warm season. And so when Jesus did not find figs on the branches, he used it as an illustration. I believe all plants wither and...
I'm sorry but you have shown no facts justifying Jesus. Let's start with some real facts...
1) Fig trees take 4-6 years to produce fruits, so it could be a 4-5 year old tree.
2) Most fig trees produce a main crop of fruit in the summer to early fall. The exact timing can vary by region and...
Here is something you may want to consider in explanation of that action:
The account of Jesus and the barren fig tree is one of the more puzzling passages in the Bible According to Mark11:12-14 and 20-24, when Jesus saw that fig tree with leaves but no fruit, he cursed it and, as a result...
Try to read Mark11:13...
My argument is that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the fig tree. The gospel of Mark writes that the fig tree did not have figs because simply it was not in season!!!! It was spring at the time, just before the Passover. Also there are "male" fig trees which do...
It’s allegorical in its presentation:
Could be that this fig tree represented those of humanity who do not produce ‘fruit’ of Godliness when called upon to do so
Could be Jesus was ‘playing God’ and the fig tree should have produced fruit ‘instantly’ as ‘God’ passed by………..!!!
But, yeah, I...
They are right, actually. Jesus sinned twice. He killed with wrath a plant for no reason except because it didn't have fruits to eat, when it was not in season. Why didn't he make a miracle?
Matthew 21:18-19 "In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry. 19 And seeing a fig...
