The Fig Tree Islamic Argument

The Islamic Fig Tree Objection to Jesus’ Knowledge

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 Muslims believe in Jesus, the mighty prophet of God.

I heard you many times, he's saying he's the creator of everything and all things. So I want you to explain to me, if it's possible, if he's a creator of everything. When Jesus, peace and blessing be upon him, was walking by, the fig tree was his companion.

The fig tree was his companion, and he wants to eat some fig. And they told him, Master, the fig is not in season. So if he was 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.

And if the fig was not in season and he's God, first of all, we don't accept God to be hungry, he wants to eat. But you Christians, you said God choose to do so, so that's your faith. 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?

Isn't that God, the one who created everything? Okay, thank you. Dr. White.

The Fig Tree as an Object Lesson About Israel

He did so because the fig tree represented the people of Israel and he made the application. 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.

He became hungry, he became tired. Because as the New Testament, as it was written, clearly indicates, Jesus Christ was the God-man. The eternal Logos became flesh and dwelt among us. He was a true man, he ate food, he became tired, he slept, he grew, etc., etc.

The Incarnation and the Full Humanity of Christ

Christians have always believed that. Why? Because we believe all the New Testament teaches.
