    So he could speak in a proverb so his those that are not his children would not understand

    Or more clearly, he is using rhetoric and the truth does not live in you

      Care to explain this a little more? Jesus was gatekeeping his message? Is this the claim you’re making?

      If so, you’ve got an extreme misunderstanding of what Jesus’ alleged message was.

      He literally cursed the tree. He didn’t need to do that. He chose to do that. Why did he choose that and not something else?

      More clearly, why would you want your followers to write in your holy book that you threw a temper tantrum?

      Or is this another one of those mysteries of God that can’t be explained and are embarrassing, so you just say it’s ineffable?

          Which fallacy? There’s a bunch of them.

          I understand rhetorical statements. Are you saying he didn’t really curse the tree but instead just said he did?
