Cursing the fig tree → Cursing of the fig tree – since the name of the event is mostly known as the cursing of the fig tree as asserted in the lede, and that cursing the fig tree is an action rather than descriptor, it seems reasonable to rename. Nikolaih^☎️📖 03:07, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sproul was a biblical inerrantist, thus WP:FRINGE. Wikipedia isn't antisemitic, but it describes the New Testament, which is antisemitic. tgeorgescu (talk) 17:50, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The New Testament was, in fact, written by Jews. Jesus' followers were Jews. The Gospel was spread across the world by Jewish believers, and the Christian church was founded and built by Jews. These are all historic facts that can corroberated through biblical and extrabiblical sources. Jesus Himself - whom the New Testament professes to be the Messiah - is a Jew. Therefore, the New Testament cannot be anti-Semitic in nature, but there are people who come to anti-Semitic conclusions (like the person who wrote the previous version of this article). The apostle Paul's teachings in Romans 11 directly contradict what you've asserted in the above reply, as well as the conclusion of the previous author of the article, who did not even list the correct tree in their attempt to bring meaning to the symbolism presented the story.
I would ask that you review the original article and, at the very least, remove any wrongly definitive (and clearly anti-Semitic) statements. 68.57.111.202 (talk) 18:02, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

The New Testament was, in fact, written by Jews. Evidence, please.
Therefore, the New Testament cannot be anti-Semitic in nature That's an a priori deduction. Mainstream Bible scholars (MBS) work inductively (i.e. a posteriori).
The apostle Paul's teachings in Romans 11 directly contradict what you've asserted MBS don't assume that the New Testament is a coherent book. tgeorgescu (talk) 18:14, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
