The Fig Tree Islamic Argument
1 view
So, was Jesus clueless about fig trees? Seems to be this Islamic questioner thinks so. A good insight into the mindset produced by years of Ahmed Deedat lectures.
- 00:00
- Yes, my question to the doctor. I heard you repeating many times he's saying he's a creator about Jesus, peace and blessing be upon him, because we
- 00:10
- Muslims believe in Jesus, the mighty prophet of God. I heard you many times saying he's the creator of everything and all things.
- 00:19
- So I want you to explain to me if it's possible, if he's a creator of everything.
- 00:25
- When Jesus, peace and blessing be upon him, was walking by, the fig tree was his companion.
- 00:32
- The fig tree was his companion and he wants to eat some fig.
- 00:38
- And they told him, Master, the fig is not in season. So if he was
- 00:44
- God, how he don't know if he created the tree, how he doesn't know if what's in season or what's not in season, if he created everything.
- 00:54
- And if the fig was not in season and he's God, first of all, we don't accept
- 01:00
- God to be hungry, he wants to eat. But you Christians, you said God choose to do so, so that's your faith.
- 01:07
- But I'm saying even if he was God and fig is not in season, why he couldn't order the tree to bring fig?
- 01:14
- Isn't that God the one who created everything? Okay, thank you. Dr. White. He did so because the fig tree represented the people of Israel and he made the application.
- 01:23
- The people of Israel look like they have fruit, but they do not. It was a clear application that he made. Secondly, he did eat food because the word became flesh.
- 01:32
- He became hungry. He became tired. Because as the New Testament, as it was written, clearly indicates,
- 01:38
- Jesus Christ was the God -man. The eternal Logos became flesh and dwelt among us.
- 01:44
- He was a true man. He ate food. He became tired. He slept. He grew, etc.,
- 01:50
- etc. Christians have always believed that. Why? Because we believe all the New Testament teaches.
