The Christian God Ignorant of His Own Creation Part Six

 

The Text:

Mark 11:13  And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. (KJV)

The Challenge:

seems like you have convinced yourself to the lies and instead of accepting the truth you arrogantly continue to justify these falsities that you attribute to God.

When he went there he realised there were no figs. Why didn’t he know.

Stop playing stupid with yourself man.

My Answer:

You may delight in using ad hominem attacks, as in your most recent comment. Notice you never answer the evidence I have presented from the Bible itself that demonstrates the truth of what I claim.

You ask,

“When he went there he realised there were no figs. Why didn’t he know.”

I answered that question in my previous comments.

In case you failed to read with adequate comprehension, I will remind you what I already explained.

(1) Jesus declared that He came down from heaven (John 3:13. 6:38).

(2) Jesus declared He was sent by His Father who is in heaven (John 4:34. 5:24. 6:38).

(3) Jesus became a man, being conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20, 21. Luke 1:31).

(4) As a man, He was tempted or tested in all points like we are, with the exception that He never sinned, according to Hebrews 4:15,

Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

(5) Jesus possessed both a divine nature and a human nature (Philippians 2:6, 7, 8).

(6) In His human nature He always did what His Father desired (John 8:29).

(7) In some things, He voluntarily chose to be like us, where He wept (John 11:35), grew tired (Mark 6:31), became hungry (Mark 11:12), and limited His knowledge (as concerning the presence or absence of figs on the fig tree (Mark 11:13); as concerning who touched Him when a woman suffering 12 years from an ailment was instantly healed when in faith she touched the hem (Matthew 9:20) of His garment).

(8) In some things He demonstrated full knowledge and omniscience where He:

a) knew all men (John 2:24, 25)

Joh 2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
Joh 2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

b) Knew and saw supernaturally before ever having met Nathaniel exactly where Nathaniel had been (John 1:45-51):

Joh 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Joh 1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
Joh 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Joh 1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

c) Knew what was in the minds of the scribes present in the audience which heard Him declare to a man in need of healing, “Son, thy sins be forgiven thee” (Mark 2:5), that the scribes thought within themselves that Jesus spoke blasphemies. Jesus perceived their thoughts and demonstrated by healing the man before their very eyes, commanding the man to take up his bed, and return home, which the man did, proving that He, Jesus, both had the power to forgive sins–something only God can do–and instantaneously heal a physical malady–something only God can do, Jesus demonstrating His own deity.

d) Knew that a fish swimming in the local sea had swallowed a coin of sufficient value, such that when Peter was sent to get the fish, the first fish he caught would contain the coin and so pay the tax for Jesus and Peter, Matthew 17:27,

Mat 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

e) Knew ahead of time when He sent his two disciples into a village in preparation for His Triumphal Entry exactly what the two disciples would find and the attendant circumstances:

Mat 21:2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
Mat 21:3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

f) Knew, in preparation for the Last Supper, that Peter and John would meet up with a man carrying a pitcher of water who would take them to the upper room which had been prepared for Jesus and His disciples:

Luk 22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

Luk 22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

Thank you in advance for carefully reading what I have presented for you in answer to your question.
