Alan, There is too much beauty and life to be lived than to waste time on one who clearly has a chip on his shoulder against Christianity. I question how you can separate Christianity from your traditions and worship and still maintain that you are a child of God. I will not be posting here for awhile. It is impossible to discuss anything with out you jumping in on my conversations and ruining any understanding that may be found. I leave you with this offering. Lk. 21:29-31 ? Did the fig tree refer to Israel becoming a nation again? "There really is no indication that the budding of the fig tree in Lk. 21:29-31 referred to Israel becoming a nation in 1948 (or in any other year). Verse 29 shows that the fig tree is not the only thing that sprouts leaves when summer is near. Jesus said, ?Watch the fig tree and all the trees?. If we are to take the budding fig tree to mean Israel becoming a nation, then we must take all the other budding trees to refer to all the other nations in the world somehow becoming nations. But this would not make any Biblical sense. Jesus did at other times use a fig tree to illustrate fleshly Israel. Once was when he cursed a fig tree on His way to Jerusalem (Matt. 21:19). After He cursed it, He said to it, ?Let there be no more fruit from you forever.? This indicated the cutting off of fleshly Israel as God?s chosen nation forever. Today Christ?s Kingdom is God?s Nation, and all physical Jews are welcomed to become citizens of that nation along with all other nationalities. But fleshly Israel will never again, according to Jesus, produce fruit as God?s chosen nation. That holy duty and privilege belongs to Christ?s followers both now and forever (cf. Lk. 13:7-9; Rev. 6:13). The fig tree was not the main symbol of Israel anyway. Instead, it was the olive tree." - David A. Green members.stratos.net. 25:31f Santiago
