(WR:) But then why write a book in the first place? Writing and disseminating even a slender book in those days was an expensive and time-consuming endeavor.

Actually, the Romans held the fig tree to be sacred because it was under the fig tree that Remus and Romulus were suckled. Jesus' cursing of the fig tree elsewhere is certainly a veiled attack on Rome.
If God wanted us to be Atheists we'd be born that way.

No, because their readers already knew the material and its focus-points from the period in which Jesus' sermons were circulated as small compositions. Those who already knew how the "Little Apocalypse" source which underlies Mark 13 (which, in turn, underlies Matthew 24 and Luke 21) should be digested would know how these source-dependent portions in the Gospels should be digested.

RE: "So are you saying that Jesus spoke in this garbled incoherent way, or that the gospel writers just rearranged his words so that he'd appear psychotic?"

(Kinda like the question "Do you still smoke pot?", isn't it.) I'm saying that Jesus' statements did not seem garbled to the disciples on the scene or to the recipients of the Gospel of Matthew.

Ditto for me.

Apparently there are still some holding on to Hal Linseys Fig tree interpretation. There are those who witnessed the formation of the state of Isreal in 48 still living. So there is your 3rd. I wonder just how many ways this can be rationalized. Now I will wait to see if Waterrock will attack Linseys interpretation. Maybe its just not creative enough for him.

That's not only simple, but quite plausible.

It's more of a loophole, where the Faithful can pretend there's an answer.

How come Mark and Luke don't report any question about the end of the world? They only report the question about the end of the Temple. It can't be because this question isn't important because they both decided it was important enough to give Jesus' answer to the question. Weren't they worried that they might mislead their readers who... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Rev Etherman) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/11556 Tue, 03 Jan 2006 01:37:01 GMT <![CDATA[ Matthew 24:34 - This Generation Shall Not Pass Away ... ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/1351/t/Matthew-24-34-This-Generation-Shall-Not-Pass-Away-.html
