He also curse a fig tree because it did gave fruit; it was the wrong seasons and it is god’s creation.
I have heard this before it being evil to kill a plant. We kill and eat plants everyday, never
noticed that this defines us as evil.

Jesus was using the fig tree as a parable for Israel and being barren of fruit that should have
been there.

Because according to the last Will and Testament (God's Will and New Testament), one does not become an heir until the person dies. Without His death and resurrection we cannot inherit eternal life.

While it's true that trolls need to be saved like anyone else, why does God's children have to be a respecter of persons & go after them when there's already tons of sinners on CC?

Since being respecter of persons is wrong, there must be something wrong with our motivation, such as personal reasons to go after them.
It is not the case that one is respecting them.. it is the case that one is turning their cheek to their slaps out of love for them wanting even a toxic troll to be saved.. In the end people have to make up their own minds on when they turn away and walk away from someone.. But for some it is very hard to turn and walk away from someone who they believe is headed to the eternal Lake of fire...

Why was He banned ?
I honestly have no idea :/
He didn't say anything inappropriate. Sure he might have been a tad bit argumentative, and got on people's nerves but who doesn't?

My guess was because he had a different religion and would not easily switch

Messiah is prophesied in the Tanakh. My first time seeing Him was in the story of Abraham offering up Isaac..Gen 22 I believe.

The story of His dhying is specified in Psalms , Ps. 22. He is talked about in Zecharia 3, and in so many other places in the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets.....

The first believers were taught about Yeshua Mashiachnu from the Tanakh for there were no New Testament writings until amost 100 ad.

None of the above is to any avail if the person studying does not believe..........All who believe Jesus christ are not converts they are fellow heirs with all Hebrews. Baruch Elohano ad olam.......

You are wrong about God’s plan. The Bible (Old Testament) is full of people
breaking the laws and suffering the consequence.
I am slight confuse, what example are you talking about?

Passover is about freedom from slavery

The first passover was when God covered Adams nakedness
[a type of sin] with skins from an animal, by sheading blood.
-
A memorial picturing deliverance from sin, in our right hand and forehead,
as God’s sign, in order that we shall keep His commandments.

we must willingly, of our own accord, start out of sin as soon as we accept
and apply the blood of Christ. They (israelits) started out on their own power

But they did not get far until Pharaoh pursued after them (Exodus 14:5-7).
If Egypt is a type of sin, then surely Pharaoh must picture Satan;
the army of Egypt, Satan’s demons.

And, as the Israelites went out with a high hand (Numbers 33:3),
in great exultation and elation over their deliverance from bondage,
so does the newly begotten Christian start out his Christian life

The devil and sin immediately pursue after the newly begotten son of God.
as soon as the Israelites saw this great army pursuing them, they lost their
courage. Fear came over them. They began to grumble and complain.

They saw it was impossible for them to get away from Pharaoh and his army,
because he was too powerful for them. And they were helpless.

So it is with us. notice the message of God to them through Moses:

“Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the [Eternal]for the Egyptians …
ye shall see them again no more for ever. The [Eternal] shall fight for you”


Helpless, we are told to stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.
He shall fight for us. We cannot conquer Satan and sin, but He can.

It is the risen Christ—our High Priest—who will cleanse us—sanctify us
—deliver us—who said He would never leave us nor forsake us!


The angel that had gone before, showing the Israelites the way, now went
behind them, getting between them and their enemy, protecting them.

And then God parted the waters of the Red Sea. “[A]nd the waters were a wall
unto them on their right hand, and on their left”

In Isaiah 55:1 and John 7:37-39, the waters are a symbol of the Holy Spirit.

The living waters of God are a wall to us, on our right hand and on our left,
guiding us in the true path, making the path, protecting us in it.

yes the feast of Unleavened Bread, as well as the Passover,
was ordained and established forever, prior to the Old Covenant.

He also curse a fig tree because it did gave fruit;
it was the wrong seasons and it is god’s creation.
.

Fruiting fig trees have a long juvenile period compared to other fruit trees.
Fig trees produce two crops every year, but only one of them may be edible.

In some tropical locations, fig trees may bear some fruit throughout the year,
with increased production in early summer and midwinter

The first crop, called the breba crop, occurs relatively early in the year on
the previous year's growth. These fruits are frequently small, acidic and
inferior in texture, but may be useful for preservation. The second crop occurs
later in the year on the current year's growth and these figs should be edible.

Jesus was using the fig tree as a parable , it should have had some fruit.



John 1:11 (KJV)

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
