+269 In the Bible, it says that Jesus cursed a fig tree because he was hungry and it wasn't fig season. That seems very unreasonable, amirite?

He can bring a man back to life, cure the blind, walk on water, turn water to wine, make infinite loaves of bread and fish, but not make a tree bare fruit?

He was teaching his disciples if he really wanted the tree to bear fruit it would have. People get mad a Christians shoving things down your throat but what are you doing right now??

....asking why he didn't do something.

lolwut He wasn't shoving down anything. He was asking a simple question. Wow, for a true Christian, you'd think that you'd be more respectful towards others.

Ok I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that, but most of the time when people around we're I live ask questions about the bible there trying to prove it wrong when it's something they don't understand. But I'm sorry I shouldn't have made assumptions about you all.

That's what I was confused about. He decided to kill it instead. CherryBlossom explained it to me up there ^^^ about how it's symbolic. Still doesn't make sense to me though, but then again, I've only read parts of the Bible.

It's only a tree guys, calm down!

I bet you that tree had a family. Little sproutlings that watched in horror as this random man came up and killed their father/mother because they couldn't give him the protection money (fruit). He murdered that poor tree in cold blood.

Can you give me the verse?

most things jesus said and did were symbolic. i agree with cherry blossom. like when jesus said "you will distroy this temple and rebuild it in 3 days" he was talking about himself.
