00:00:06.500

00:00:12.120

00:00:16.000
figs in the trees right so if god if jesus is god did he lie like did he did he not know that
00:00:23.080
when i go there there is not a fig do you want to know the answer to that question yes please
00:00:26.600
the fig tree yeah in the bible yeah is a parable of israel the nation of israel he actually talks
00:00:35.580
elsewhere about the fig and the olive and so on and so forth okay so what jesus is saying when he
00:00:42.220
sees the fig tree it's basically saying he saw no fruit coming from the nation of israel from the
00:00:48.920
political nation well does that say that in the bible it's a political nation or does it say that's
00:00:52.740
what he's saying he's saying it's a parable it was a parable i know but does it say this tree tree
00:00:56.980
is uh the nation of israel it may no fruit ever come from you again yes but he's on about a tree
00:01:02.020
it's not about elsewhere jesus said not elsewhere let's no no but i'm just telling you i said do you
00:01:07.440
want to know the answer i'm giving you the answer you might not like it you might think i don't like
00:01:11.400
the truth is the truth okay elsewhere jesus said yeah oh jerusalem jerusalem how often i would have
00:01:17.300
gathered you as a hen gather the chicks under his wings you would not okay your house is forsaken
00:01:22.100
and desolate okay now what verse is that uh chapter give me the chapter the name it's in matthew i can
00:01:27.940
find that okay what's what's that got to do with is it in the same chapter as what that's what jesus
00:01:32.100
said about jerusalem yes but is it related jesus said oh yes jesus said yes because the fig tree was
00:01:38.620
it was a parable so it's what jesus was saying was like an active parable okay look he came to look at
00:01:43.760
the tree and there was no fruit on the tree jesus came to the nation of israel there was no fruit from
00:01:48.820
the nation of israel but what you're doing so jesus said brother i've rejected you gave me a verse
00:01:53.220
that's you're saying to me i asked you a question you're going to another chapter and you're saying
00:01:57.380
to me no but i'm saying to you why you're connecting i'm saying the evidence elsewhere that that message
00:02:02.940
was indeed the message of jesus it wasn't because he said very clearly elsewhere jesus said specifically
00:02:08.480
of jerusalem your house is forsaken and desolate okay but how could you relate that with the
00:02:13.260
fig tree when they're hungry and they're going to a fig tree to eat and they realize i've told you
00:02:17.020
it was a parable but that's what you're saying this is what i'm saying what chapter is it let's look if
00:02:21.220
jesus is saying that right do you know what chapter is i don't know okay okay i'm gonna i'm gonna look
00:02:28.200
into that yeah see you've got to understand a lot of things jesus said had a lot of deeper meaning
00:02:33.300
he wasn't just going along and saying oh i'm hungry let's have some food oh there's no fruit there
00:02:37.680
oh curse this tree no no no because because what the problem is he didn't know if he's god if he knew
00:02:45.480
it's not the season for the fig tree why would he go there why would he go and then curse the tree
00:02:50.320
okay okay i'm telling you how could i'm telling you no okay okay no no i'm telling you i'm telling
00:02:56.780
you so so he wasn't god he used his man brain he was god living as a man he was god okay but
00:03:02.900
how does that how does that work how could god that created everything doesn't know that the fig
00:03:09.200
is not the season for the fig tree gave up the power to know he lived as a man subject to the holy
00:03:14.120
spirit that's how he knew okay that's your answer that's not my answer oh so you're different yes
00:03:19.200
or you differentiate my answer is that well i mean what he's saying is what he's saying is not
00:03:25.700
that's that's a big differentiation well what he's saying what he's saying what he said is true
00:03:31.100
what is what he's what he's what he's saying i'm not questioning what he's saying okay what he's
00:03:40.200
saying is true yeah but i just think on this particular occasion when jesus cursed the fig tree
00:03:44.800
it wasn't because he didn't know there wasn't going to be any fruit on it okay he what he was saying
00:03:48.760
is i have come from heaven to earth to the nation of israel okay okay i've looked for fruit okay from
00:03:56.100
the nation of israel okay no problem there is no fruit here that's in matthew this is in mark can i
00:04:00.560
read mark okay this is what it says okay the next morning as they were leaving bethany jesus was hungry
00:04:07.200
okay he noticed a fig tree okay if he's talking about the nation of israel jesus shouldn't be hungry
00:04:14.100
to go to the fig tree because he should be like you know what guys we're gonna go to the fig tree
00:04:17.860
and i'm gonna give you a parable about the israelis yeah the israelites right but he doesn't know he
00:04:22.920
goes i'm hungry and he goes whoa there's a fig tree there let's go and eat right this is this is not
00:04:28.020
my word this is what it says he noticed a fig tree in full leaf a little way off so we went over
00:04:33.700
to see if he could find any figs he doesn't say i went there to find any israelis he says i went there to
00:04:39.000
find any figs which you are nodding to you're agreeing i think you're a muslim bro we're going
00:04:42.460
together yeah okay okay no no anyway but there were only leaves because it was too early in season
00:04:50.000
look listen this is not my word this is not sid's word this is the bible it clearly says that it was
00:04:54.460
not the season now what we need to ask our christian brothers is if it if it wasn't the season and if
00:05:00.540
jesus is god if he was a mere man we'll say you know what okay he was a man a man can make a mistake
00:05:05.080
but they go he's god he's the creator of that fig tree he goes to the fig tree and goes oh
00:05:09.840
there's no figs can you imagine god almighty going to the figure and saying oh there's no figs sorry
00:05:15.760
guys i i made a mistake i did not know my creation what we're doing is we're questioning about
00:05:20.200
sid is saying he's talking about the israelites as being the bad um given that but over here it
00:05:26.180
doesn't say that so you need to explain to us well all i'm saying to him mark himself yeah may not
00:05:32.380
have understood what jesus was getting out frequently frequently the israelites didn't
00:05:36.260
understand what jesus was getting out so mark mark should know or if mark should know and this is
00:05:40.320
or peter or peter because we believe mark got his information no problem then why didn't mark
00:05:45.280
write that down and say you know he may not have understood sometimes the disciples didn't understand
00:05:48.960
that's what it says the disciples didn't understand what he was getting at okay but sid listen to me
00:05:52.660
listen he didn't understand what was going on okay if i'm inspired by god if mark is inspired by god
00:05:57.800
you're saying he didn't know no we don't we don't we don't claim that the gospel writers
00:06:03.860
everything that they wrote was perfect okay they have perfect understanding okay they didn't they
00:06:08.120
didn't have perfect okay when you say inspired by god that means god speaks to them right okay are
00:06:13.380
you telling me god told him something wrong to write no we're not saying that okay how does i don't
00:06:17.480
understand okay he's inspired by god we're saying mark faithfully yeah sought to write down what he
00:06:23.280
heard jesus say and write an accurate record of what took place okay was mark inspired by god
00:06:27.380
mark had inspiration but he was not perfect okay there's no claim no one claims mark was perfect i know
00:06:34.140
look when it comes to god god will not mess around with this thing mark's special life where
00:06:37.780
he wants to go and hunt for deers that's not problem you can make a mistake there but was mark
00:06:42.040
inspired by god well it depends on him by inspired inspired like you guys say he was inspired god
00:06:47.560
spoke to him and he start writing no we don't claim that he was you don't the words were
00:06:51.720
dictated by god no absolutely so how does that okay so mark wrote it by his own head
00:06:55.760
mark wrote down what he believed a fatal record of what jesus said and did i do believe what jesus
00:07:01.660
said so he wasn't inspired he thought what jesus said and did was perfect okay no no i respect
00:07:07.600
mark's record isn't perfect so mark wasn't inspired right
00:07:10.520
pardon what did you mean by inspired because no no it's not perfect all right i'm not saying the
00:07:15.860
record is perfect i know i know there could be faults in the record i know did the holy spirit speak to
00:07:19.940
mark to you know inspire and survive you can choose when he's inspired the holy spirit speaks to me
