Obviously the fig is highly symbolic of the barren, fruitless anus of the hellbound sodomite. It is a wonder and a marvel that Christ's compassion extends even unto those dank, sphinctral depths, and that He takes the time from His hectic schedule to administer the blessing of anal warts to those in such dire need, giving them the opportunity to finally bear some Godly fruit, lest they burn forever in the fiery lake. His mercy is boundless!

Yes, Brother. I must admit that too often I am like the prophet Jonah who found it hard to accept the unlimited capacity of Jesus to forgiveness.
The Matthew pericope is such a powerful addition to this discussion. In broad perspective your post shows how the Bible can with careful unbiased study be applied to
all situations and phenomena that are considered modern. Atheists and sodomists often claim that the world view of the Bible cannot be taken into consideration when assessing issues of our age. You have shown that it is exactly the opposite. The Bible is always valid and God has carefully written all we need to know down on its pages. Including the modern patterns of sodomy, such as the
nauseating concept of same-sex marriage
.
James 3:12
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
We can easily see how the above verse is also applicable to childbirth
vs. the stuff that the exit corridors of homers produce.
Yours in Christ,
