Why Did Jesus Curse The FIG TREE by Rapture07: 9:04pm On Apr 13, 2015 |
In the book of Mark11:12-14;20-21 and matt21:18-19;20-22 the bible talks about Jesus on seeing the Fig tree and noticing that it had not produced fruit, he cursed it (Even when its not its season). So my question here is, why would Jesus curse the fig tree even tho he knew it wasn't its season to produce fruit. |

He caused the tree as a lesson. The fig tree represents the world... If you choose not to bear fruit... He would do worse than what was done to the fig tree... |

But if u read the text in that scripture carefully d bible said Jesus was hungry. So I feel he actions then doesn't justify the lesson. |

It was fruitless, even as at the time of contact with a supernatural power. It was supposed to bear fruit for Christ. |

In that region, when fig trees start bringing out leaves the fruit starts coming out as well even though it's not yet its due season. When Jesus got to the fig tree, He expected to find fruit(s) on it, but when He came to the tree and found no fruit on it He cursed it because the barren fig tree was a picture of deception. 1 Like 1 Share |

Refer to Thomad Paine in 'Age of Reason'. He explained it very eloquently. |

Poor fig tree! The omniscient and omnipotent god in form of man called Jesus could not make his own food out of nowhere! Had to curse the poor fig tree which was not even in it's fruit bearing season! And this is coming from someone who somehow managed to use a few loaves of bread and fishes to feed thousand! |
