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.

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.
