• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If two pregnant women got married,
would that break the fig tree rule ?

Because they are giving fruit,
they are having babies.
You should have looked up what the fig tree rule is first. It's based on Mark 11:12-14, and has to do with bearing the spiritual fruit of repentance and the pursuit of righteousness unto God. Not the fruit of the womb.

This thread is closed for review.

Folks, pay attention to the forum you are in. IF you are not a Liberal Christian, this is not your congregational home.


EDIT - reopening after a little clean up

That is not what the fig tree teaching is about. It is about spiritual fruit, not literal babies.

I would like to suggest that you check out blueletterbible.org, and click on this

To the left, you will see "TOOLS", and click on that, and then commentaries.
The Matthew Henry commentary is good, and so is Jamieson, Fausset & Brown.
