Comment on What's the deal the miracles jesus chose to do?

The fig tree is symbolic of the apple tree in the garden of Eden. Jesus cursing the tree to not bear fruit shows how he has come to stop original sin.

And if you buy that bullshit I just made up, you’ll really enjoy church.

  My contribution is just as valid, unless you’re looking to hear from people who read the original Aramaic.

    Genuinely, that’s not how literary criticism works.

Nah, Jesus ate a bunch of figs, shit his brains out, then used his god powers to curse the fig tree for making him shit his brains out.

  It was a typo, he actually cursed gifs because he was sick of all the memes.
