Man, sometimes when things get cross sourced so much it makes me believe the meme. We’ve like three or four different books citing individual passages. But at the start we’re told to look at what Jesus was up to right before the fig tree bit. In the supporting sources we should ignore whatever was going on before the quoted passage. I feel like some bits of theology try to make the Bible into some kind of code book make-your-own-adventure that only the devout could possibly understand. I feel like there should be a bigger distinction between the Holy Spirits influences on scripture. Some of these hot takes read like RL Stein books.
