[edit] The fig tree

current problem: There are two parables involving fig trees: The Parable of the Fig Tree is found in Matt 24:32-36, Mark 13:28-32, Luke 21:29-33; the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree is found in Luke 13:6-9. 75.0.4.217 09:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Let's split the Fig Tree page into Parable of the Fig Tree (the parable that Jesus told) and Jesus and the Fig Tree (the incident in Jesus' life). Jonathan Tweet 00:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Lazarus and Dives"?

Can we change this page to "Lazarus and the rich man"? Jonathan Tweet 00:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This is a little confusing

Should we put parables that aren't in a normal Bible someplace else, instead of lumping then together with all the other parables? For example, I have never heard about the "Parable of the Assassin", and neither have most Christians. Especially when the message sort of contradicts Christian faith. HighInAZ

The only parables here that aren't in the Bible have a decent chance of having been said by Jesus. (Jesus must have said lots of things that didn't make it into Matthew Mark Luke John.) The leads to Assassin and Jar should point out that they're not in the Christian canon. Just like the leads for certain other parables (two debtors) should point out that Jesus might not have said them. Let the reader sort it out. Let's not make the readers decisions for them.Jonathan Tweet 13:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
