this is just my own personal theory, but I suspect the reason Jesus cursed the fig tree that He did, was because he was probably tired, and hungry to the point of low
blood sugar or hypoglycemia, and it made Him irritable... naturally, He was walking around in a body like ours,
as it is said, like us in every way but sin... everybody tries to read something woowoo theological into it but maybe He was just tired and hungry, and irritability is a symptom for a number of conditions, but especially

on here shouldn't shoot bible verses at me... just sayin... Good «toon, David
