Re: Bible Club - Matthew
the thing to remember when reading the bible is that there is A LOT of symbolism. madnak, im not going to refute your post point by point, because as you stated, this shouldn't be a place to argue back and forth.
I will simply say that in order to truly understand one book of the bible, you really need to understand the whole bible. This takes years, and you can't really be expected to understand it in one (or a few) reading of the same thing. For example, the "fig tree" was symbolic of the nation of israel ...
anyways, reading your whole post just seems like a very shallow and misinterpretation of the whole book. Perfectly reasonable for you to feel that way, but I must say i disagree with your analysis.
