I think they put out a huge,long line of dough. Then they put the fig
on the dough. After that, I believe that they get a slightly bigger piece of dough over that. Then they fold the excess dough around the fig filling and after that they cut the extra excess off.
when that s done they cut the long dough and fig tube and that is how(i think) they get the fig inside the fig roll.
How do they get the figs into fig rolls?
When I was a child in Ireland there was an ad campaign that answered this very question
JIm Figgerty put the figs into fig rolls
Reply:the same way they get the cream into creamcrackers
Reply:rap the pastry aroiund the fig before cooking?
Reply:They push the figs down pastry hills
Reply:How do you make a fig roll?
Push it down a hill.
Reply:The real question is how do they get the biscuit round the figs.
Reply:Do you not remember the tv ad for fig rolls? Jim Figgerty put the figs in fig roll, true! :)
Reply:You mean like Fig Newtons? They make fig preserves, and squirt it onto the dough before wrapping and baking it.
Reply:They squash'em. If you go to the factory, there's loads of barefoot oompa-loompas jumping up and down on them to make them in to a fine puree.
Reply:First they give the figs the last rites and then take them to the gallows. They are hung there until dead. Then they are mashed to a pulp by being placed under a massive hammer. Then the pulp is ground down further by being squeezed between two ten tonne rollers. The resulting mush is then made into strips whereby it is placed on a sheet of pastry and rolled. The rolls are cut into small chunks which are cooked.
Sometimes if you listen hard you can hear the figs crying.
Fig rights forever, man.

Where can I get a cheap, decent fig tree online?
I live in New Jersey and would like to grow some figs in my back yard. Any suggestions?
In case this is a bad idea for any reason, please say so.

If you are growing your fig in zone 7 or colder you should place the tree in front of a southern wall or fence where winter sun can warm it. This will help a lot.

You drop a 5 kg package of fig newtons down a 200 meters building, what is the force of impact?
Please answer in *figs*
You drop a 5 kg package of fig newtons down a 200 meters building, what is the force of impact?
f=ma
KE=1/2mv^2
f=(5)(200)(9.8)=(9.8)1000KGM/S^2
= (9.8)1000N
= 9.8 million fig newtons
= 9.8 million figs
since 1 Newton is also equal to the weight of 1,000 fig
newtons one metre (roughly 3 feet) above sea level!
...well, I tried. I'm figged out.
Reply:Does anyone really give a fig?
Reply:F= ma = 5*9.81 = 49.05 kg.figs
kg.figs means kg x figs
Reply:the more important question is does the force of impact condense the calories
or cause them to fly away, and are they still edible?
Reply:F = ma
F = 5kg x g
F = 5 x 9.8
F = 49 figs

Why doesn't my fig trees produce figs?
It may need to be pruned to stimulate it next season. I dont know about figs but allot of fruit %26amp; nut trees need another tree of if its type to pollenate %26amp; produce fruit.
Why doesn't my fig trees produce figs?
Maybe they are all male. You need trees of each sex to get figs on the females. The male plants never have figs.
Reply:You probably need to have 2 trees in order to produce fruit!
Reply:because they r not fig tree...hehehe
Reply:Good question. Ask a green house person. I really don't know. Sorry about that. Now I am thinking about fig newton bars. yummy--sometimes.
Reply:It could be that the tree needs to get more mature. Some fruit trees are about 4-5 years old before they bear well. And is it getting enough sun? That is a major factor. I have a fig tree that is about 3 years old and it is not bearing yet. But it is getting taller and maybe next year...
My lemon trees did the same thing. Year 1--2 lemons. Year 2--0 lemons Year 3--2 lemons. Year 4 bumper crop, too many to count. Same w/ Year 5.
Reply:Depends on the species of fig trees you have.
If you have Calrimyrna Fig trees and live in California,
the flowers of these trees are pollinated by fig wasps
("Blastophaga psenes").

Fig Pro...?
My girlfriend loves anal sex, but she complains it is effecting her figure.Is it true analx deshape the figure.
Fig Pro...?
i have heard it is bad for health
Reply:The only thing anal sex might reshape is the muscular tone of the sphincter of the anus.
Semen contains between 5 - 7 calories, it takes roughly 3500 extra calories in your diet to gain 1 lb of fat. At 6 calories per teaspoon, it's over 583 teaspoons of semen to make her gain 1 lb of fat. That's roughly 3/4 of a GALLON of semen!
And, not for nothing, if you're having enough sex to expell that much, you're more'n likely burning all those calories (and more) in the process!
I'd question her source of info, or, more likely, whether she REALLY likes it!
Reply:no, but if you take it out once in a while she won't look like two people.

Fig trees and grape how to make them grow .?
i have fige tree and every winter cold and ice kills it but every summer it grow back , i need it to serviv the winter so i can have fruit. i see some around my area that have fruit in summer, so my grape tree it dose the same and there must be a way to make them serviv out side in winter .
Fig trees and grape how to make them grow .?
That would be normal.maybe you need to fertilize early spring?The age of the tree decides the fruiting time,maybe yours are still young,or didn't get pollinated,hard to say really just some things to consider.

How can I keep the birds from eating the figs on my fig tree?
The birds seem to eat parts of several figs at a time, causing a lot of waste ( and frustration on my part!)
How can I keep the birds from eating the figs on my fig tree?
try those large Tree nets
Reply:Mostly you need something to scare away the bids.
They get nervious of flashy moving things, Most professional orchards use streamers of sparlky tinsel like stuff. Wind chimes are also a decent substitute if you can't find those. Weather vanes may help a little, but I've never seen anyone put those ON a tree.
Setting up fake natural predators can also work sometimes. A few folks recommend the ceramic owls. I'd get one with the moving head if that's your plan. A lady I know swears by a large inflatable snake she puts in the tree, and moves around every other week or so. I've seen both in gardening stores.
Fake falcons or hawks might also work. I believe you can get these in "Kite" form somewhere, but you'll have to set them up every now and then, and if there's no wind you may be out of luck.
Reply:I know some people who will tie tin pie pans together to blow in the wind and make noise.

Can you grow a fig tree from taking a fig and smashing it in the ground and covering it with dirt ???
yes you might . but bear in mind that fig seeds need an acid environment like the one found inside birds' digestive system (birds are the best fig seeders in nature).Also, bird droppings protect the seeds from being eaten or destroyed (insects etc.)
also you should not expect the resulting tree to bear the same variety as the one where the seed came from
Can you grow a fig tree from taking a fig and smashing it in the ground and covering it with dirt ???
If you want to squash a fig into the ground make sure its been fertilised. a ripe fig is still a flower and needs insects to climb in and do their thing. when the fig is brown and sloppy and falls off the tree is probably the best time to do your squashy thing.
A better idea would be to find a mature fig tree and hunt around the base for a runner growing out of the ground. dig this up and stick it in a pot, plenty of natural compost and off it goes.
Reply:That seems a terrible waste of a perfectly good fig. From what I understand, very few figs will have any viable seeds at all. It seems to me, you should be able to remove seeds from a fig and try to plants those and eat the rest of the fig.

What does the inside of a 'Fig' fruit look like?
Figs flower on the inside and if fresh should be sort of pink as you say, so next time they are furry inside I suggest you take them back to your supplier cos they are certainly not good.
Reply:I suppose it depends on if you purchased dried figs or fresh ones. Fresh figs have a reddish pulpy, seedy fruit inside.
If you were trying for dried figs, that might be more appropriate, but I'd say you got ripped off if the inside of your figs was furry--that sounds more like mold...

Fig trees bear fruit twice with leaves in between. There's fruit in the Spring, then leaves, and then the main fruit in the Fall. See http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/fi... Report It

Reply:I am not familiar w/fig trees but have grown apples, cherries and other fruit trees. What I know is that the tree first has blooms and leaves then the blooms turn into the fruit, I could be way off base but that is my experience.

Fig trees bear fruit twice with leaves in between. There's fruit in the Spring, then leaves, and then the main fruit in the Fall. See http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/fi... Report It
Reply:The leaves are always first. They provide energy for the rest of the processes.
Reply:the fig newton
Reply:I am not familiar w/fig trees but have grown apples, cherries and other fruit trees. What I know is that the tree first has blooms and leaves then the blooms turn into the fruit, I could be way off base but that is my experience.
Good luck w/the figs what will you make w/them?

Fig Leaf Found?
A little boy opened the large old family Bible, and he looked with fascination at the ancient pages as he turned them one by one.
He was still in Genesis when something fell out of the Bible. He picked it up and looked at it closely. It was a very large old tree leaf that had been pressed between the pages of the Bible long ago."Momma, look what I found!" the boy called out.
"What do you have there?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in his voice, the young boy answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear!"

How do I make my fig tree grow away from my house?
It yeilds lots of figs every year but the biggest part of it is growing against my garage. Can I prune the big side and expect the small side to flourish? If so, how and when?
How do I make my fig tree grow away from my house?
You can prune the big side in small increments over a month or two and watch the small side carefully.
Keep the big side in shade as much as possible using tarps or building a temporary roof-like covering.
Add more sunlight to the side you want to grow since most plants bend toward sunlight. You can paint a sheet of plywood with white paint and set it to reflect sunlight on the small side.
Also, put a stake in the ground and tie a rope to the tree with pressure pulling away from the garage. Tighten the rope a little every weekend or two until the tree is leaning away from the garage.
Use moderation and make changes slowly for best results.

Why did Jesus curse the fig tree was he just having a temper tantrum?
Boo hoo, a tree doesn't give figs when it's not in season so I'm going to curse it.
Why did Jesus curse the fig tree was he just having a temper tantrum?
JESUS REBUKED THE FIG AS AN EVIL ABOMINATION.
"Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he was hungry.
"And when he saw a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
"And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon has the fig tree withered away!"
--Matthew 21:18-20
JESUS COMMANDED US NOT TO EAT OF THE CURSED FIG.
"The next day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry:
"And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find any thing on it: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
"And Jesus answered and said to it, No man eat fruit of you hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it.
--Mark 11:12-14
EAT A FIG, GO TO HELL.
"He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore-figs with sleet."
--Psalm 78:47
GOD PROMISES TERRIBLE VENGEANCE FOR FIG-EATERS.
"Yes, this is what the LORD Almighty says: "I will send the sword, famine and plague against them and I will make them like poor figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten."
--Jeremiah 29:17
Reply:Give us the Chapter and the verse. Then we'll have a good explaination.
Reply:it's supposed to be a sign that if you don't follow his teachings and open yourself up to him you will end up damned like the fig tree. personally i think it's one of those things that was added in later to make jesus seem more intense and scare people into conversion.
most likely he was just hungry and pissed that there were no figs on the fig tree.
Reply:The barren fig tree represented Israel, God's chosen people, who failed to live up to their potential.
Instead of sharing their knowledge of the one, true God with the world, they kept it to themselves, refusing even to associate with Gentiles, turning ever more inward, and becoming steeped in their own corruption.
The apostles, who were Jews, asked for a "stay" of judgment for the fig tree, suggesting that a "season" of good nurturing and proper care would turn things around.
This "stay" symbolized the 40 years between Christ's death and the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, where God gave the apostles time to "turn things around" for the Jews, by converting them to Christianity.
As Jesus predicted, the "fig tree" still failed to bear fruit, and was finally uprooted and burned.
In the year 70 AD the Jews were chased out of Jerusalem (uprooted) by the Romans, and the Temple was destroyed by fire.
All this happened exactly one biblical generation (season) after Christ's death.
For the most part, the Jews, to this very day, still refuse to accept Jesus Christ, and many Jews practice no religion at all.
A Muslim mosque, complete with a golden dome, stands on the old Temple site, today.
Reply:According to Christian belief, he could have made the fig tree bear fruit had he wanted to. This was a demonstration of his divinity.
Reply:He was doing it to show that those that don't produce fruit will perish
Reply:He indicates why when he goes on to say: “Truly I say to you, If only you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what I did to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain [the Mount of Olives on which they are standing], ‘Be lifted up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen. And all the things you ask in prayer, having faith, you will receive.”
So by causing the tree to wither, Jesus is providing for his disciples an object lesson on their need to have faith in God. As he states: “All the things you pray and ask for have faith that you have practically received, and you will have them.” What an important lesson for them to learn, especially in view of the awesome tests that are soon to come! Yet, there is another connection between the withering of the fig tree and the quality of faith.
The nation of Israel, like this fig tree, has a deceptive appearance. Although the nation is in a covenant relationship with God and may outwardly appear to observe his regulations, it has proved to be without faith, barren of good fruitage. Because of lack of faith, it is even in the process of rejecting God’s own Son! Hence, by causing the unproductive fig tree to wither, Jesus is graphically demonstrating what the end result will be for this fruitless, faithless nation.
Reply:He did it to teach us that our words are powerful and we should be careful who we curse. Words have that much power. Just think what speaking blessings would do to this world! Life and death are in the power of the tongue.

Jesus never 'chopped' a fig tree. He cursed a fig tree and it died. The reason he cursed the fig tree was because it was fig season and the tree should've been bearing fruit. Instead, it bore no fruit. Jesus cursed it because it was not doing what God set it out to do in the world. It was following its own path.
Jesus meant this to be allegorical for us as Christians and the Kingdom of God. Those who don't do what the Lord wants us to do will be cursed and cast into the lake of fire. Those of us who seek the Lord's will and try with all our hearts to do His will will not suffer the same fate as the fig tree. Instead of being cursed and cast into the lake of fire we will get to spend eternity with the Lord.

Jesus kills a fig tree for not bearing figs........?
, even though it was out of season. Jesus must not be as smart as Christians would have us believe, for he was retarded enough to do something this silly. You’d think the son of god (god incarnate) would know that trees don’t bear fruit in dry season. Mark 11:13
Jesus kills a fig tree for not bearing figs........?
It is obvious, an act like this shows how egoistical the nature of someone who pretends to do miracles...
I am not some anti-christian (on the contrary, I am an orthodox), but everybody has to admit the fact that a person who claims to be son of god is not expected to go to a tree unknowing there is no fruit... (he must be all-seeing, all-knowing) and this seems to show Christ's childish anger for not being as omnipotent as he wished to.
My conclusion is: the worst that could happen to a (son of) god is surprise :D

Reply:OK...you defiantly weren't there at the time when that happened, so we cant tell what season it was and don't know all the reasons why he did it. You cant blame God for doing something so smart that we don't understand...Hey, He has his reasons like we do too...I guess we will never understand the things of God completely...just that he is an amazing, all knowing God and knows your destiny...give God a chance...OK?
Reply:IT HAD A HIDDEN MEANING LOOK A BIT DEEPER .THE REASON WAS TO GIVE PEOPLE A MESSAGE AND I THINK HE WAS QUITE SMART.
Reply:It was an EXAMPLE. He was comparing it to Christians who don't act like Christians. Read the rest of the chapter.
Reply:He was acting out a parable...kinda hard on the tree, but the point he was making was that we have the responsibility to be growing and fruitful because we don't know when the call is going to come, we should be prepared.
Also, having dried up the tree, when the disciples saw it later they realised that Jesus really did have the power to do what he said.
He had reasons for everything he did and said, which is more than I can say for some people on this board.

Reply:OK...you defiantly weren't there at the time when that happened, so we cant tell what season it was and don't know all the reasons why he did it. You cant blame God for doing something so smart that we don't understand...Hey, He has his reasons like we do too...I guess we will never understand the things of God completely...just that he is an amazing, all knowing God and knows your destiny...give God a chance...OK?

Reply:It was an EXAMPLE. He was comparing it to Christians who don't act like Christians. Read the rest of the chapter.
Reply:He was acting out a parable...kinda hard on the tree, but the point he was making was that we have the responsibility to be growing and fruitful because we don't know when the call is going to come, we should be prepared.
Also, having dried up the tree, when the disciples saw it later they realised that Jesus really did have the power to do what he said.
He had reasons for everything he did and said, which is more than I can say for some people on this board.

Ask alot of active working people who, when retired just stopped doing alot of things. Their work kept them producing, but when they Retired and started sitting around, they withered and died.

You have to keep active in the Spiritman,in the Soul (mind, Mental Realm) in the Fleshly Man (human body).
Or you could wither.

I want a fig tree and I can't find them in nurseries. Can I start one from a cutting? Are the seeds in figs?
Fig trees usually come up around the big parent plants. I have friends who give away several plants each year. The "babies" go one to have fruit. If figs grow in your part of the country, look for someone who has a tree and ask for a plant when they come up in the late summer and early fall. If you can't find a parent plant, then question if they grow in your area.

They are two different fruits that are both usually dried before sale in the U.S. That's a real shame. If you ever find the fresh versions, then try them. The flavors and textures are amazing, especially the figs.

Reply:Yes, Jesus came to earth at least partially to teach his disciples and move them to true worship. Most students of the Gospels recognize that Jesus routinely used illustrations to make his points.
.. ..(Matthew 13:34) Jesus spoke to the crowds by illustrations. Indeed, without an illustration he would not speak to them
Ironically, Jesus specifically noted that a reason for his illustrations was to confound troublemakers who sought to discredit Jesus.
.. ..(Mark 4:10-12) The twelve began questioning him on the illustrations. And [Jesus] proceeded to say to them: “To you [true Christians] the sacred secret of the kingdom of God has been given, but to those outside all things occur in illustrations, in order that, though looking, they may look and yet not see, and, though hearing, they may hear and yet not get the sense of it
.. ..(Matthew 13:11-13) [Jesus] said: “To you [humble disciples] it is granted to understand the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those people [who are not humble] it is not granted. For whoever has [understanding], more will be given him and he will be made to abound; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. This is why I speak to them by the use of illustrations, because, looking, they look in vain, and hearing, they hear in vain, neither do they get the sense of it
So what illustrative purpose did it serve for Jesus to wither a fig tree that produced no fruit? The accounts at Mark chapter 11 and Matthew chapter 21 both note that the fig tree was displaying the type of leaves that should have been accompanied by additional evidence of fruit or perhaps even fruit itself. When Jesus saw the leaves without even a hint of fruit buds, Jesus recognized that the tree was barren and would never produce fruit. Thus, Jesus immediately did in a literal way with a literal tree what he had earlier prophesied would be performed in a figurative way with those ostensible worshippers who were more concerned with outward symbols of devotion than with the primary manifestations of godliness.
.. ..(Matthew 3:7-10) When [Jesus] caught sight of many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the baptism, he said to them: “You offspring of vipers, who has intimated to you to flee from the coming wrath? So then produce fruit that befits repentance [rather than putting on a mere shown of being baptized]... Already the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree, then, that does not produce fine fruit is to be cut down
Just as a literal fig tree must produce meaningful fruit along with its ornamental leaves, so too true worshippers must do more than merely become baptized to please God and Christ.
.. ..(Matthew 21:19) [Jesus] caught sight of a fig tree by the road and went to it, but he found nothing on it except leaves only, and he said to it: “Let no fruit come from you anymore forever.” And the fig tree withered instantly.
.. ..(Luke 11:39) Now you Pharisees, you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but the inside of you is full of plunder and wickedness.
Reply:I never understood how the "benevolent and kind" Jesus could be so callous and whiny and destroy a tree for not giving him fruit. I mean seriously boohoo. it's a dam tree. curse it? that's just immature.

Reply:I always hated that story, because it sounded so stupid to curse a tree.

Apparently, the fig tree had the leaves a fig tree shows when it is bearing fruit, but it had no fruit. So Jesus cursed it.
The meaning is that if you claim to be a Christian and you bear no fruit, you suck. If you wear a Jesus lapel pin but you act like a jerk, Jesus curses you.
Reply:He cursed it in the Spring time, when it wouldn't be producing figs in any case. maybe jesus had off days like any of us, and just decided he would take it out on a tree, unlike His dad, who used to take his ire out on entire cities.... maybe we're better off with a God who gets pissed at fig trees rather than one that gets the hump with people who won't build altars to him?
Reply:Dadof4 is right with his answer, he was teaching his disciples by word and example,the way every true Christian should. (1) First lesson,You can ask God anything,according to his will, and he will grant it to you .(2) second lesson Jesus compared the nation of Israel to a fig tree,it wasn't producing any fruit, he cursed it and sure enough the fig tree withered, the same as did the nation of Israel,when the Romans destroyed it in 70 c.e. Important lessons for the apostles and any follower of Jesus, if we don't produce fruit from our preaching work,we could end up like a withered fig tree. But I also want to take this opportunity to make a point. Some Christians get surprised because Jesus cursed a fig tree. Imagine if the Bible said that Jesus during his ministry tortured children and people of all ages. more dramatic yet if he did it to sick children and young and old alike. Yet it does'nt bother their concsious to teach a sick doctrine, that says God is going to torture and torment people for all eternity

(1) First lesson,You can ask God anything,according to his will, and he will grant it to you .(2) second lesson Jesus compared the nation of Israel to a fig tree,it wasn't producing any fruit, he cursed it and sure enough the fig tree withered, the same as did the nation of Israel,when the Romans destroyed it in 70 c.e. Important lessons for the apostles and any follower of Jesus, if we don't produce fruit from our preaching work,we could end up like a withered fig tree. But I also want to take this opportunity to make a point. Some Christians get surprised because Jesus cursed a fig tree. Imagine if the Bible said that Jesus during his ministry tortured children and people of all ages. more dramatic yet if he did it to sick children and young and old alike. Yet it does'nt bother their concsious to teach a sick doctrine, that says God is going to torture and torment people for all eternity

Was brother Jesus angry against figs,as he slapped the fig tree & didn't make fig wine out of water;Jesus wept
For you have done nothing wrong, you done nothing right. In making us laugh, you have made us cry. To set things right, we have set things wrong. For to make us laugh you will not do.

Reply:As He killed the fig tree around 2000 years ago...He is totally capable of killing it today too...just as "You are done!"
Reply:I have this terrible feeling that you have only actually read 2 or three pages in the bible. One of them must have been when Christ made water into wine---(not fig wine) and when He passed the fig tree and was hungry and didn't find any figs....there is nothing in scripture that says He slapped the tree. And then the last thing you read must have been that He wept. Well, he actually wept as He was standing at the tomb of His friend Lazarus. I don't know anyone who has gotten those three separate events into one day. But I am sure others can pick and choose what they want as well as you can.
Please note that Jesus wasn't ANGRY. He didn't slap anything---and He made really good wine out of water----I wish I knew why Christ wept at the tomb of Lazarus because He knew He was about to raise Lazarus from the dead. Could it be that Christ knew something about Lazarus that we didn't? Could it have been better to leave Lazarus as he was? Except for the grief of the sisters He may have done just that. But what do I know.
Thanks for asking the question. You have a good day now---ya hear?

1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an *** tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ***, and a colt the foal of an ***. 6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, 7 And brought the ***, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. 8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? 11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, 16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. 18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. 19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? 24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? 26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. 29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him. 33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

How to stop the fig tree from bearing fruits.?
NOne in my family eats figs but our new house comes with it. it bears fruit like theres no tomorow. its smelly rotten fruits is all over the backyard and it attracts flies and bug who oftenly lost thier way inside our house. im tired sweeping them 2-3 times a day so my children can play under tree's shade. i dont want to cut the tree coz it gives ample shade in my backyard. i dont want to go through this misery next summer, how am i going to be able to stop this tree from bearing fruits?
How to stop the fig tree from bearing fruits.?
Pick the figs off the tree and give them away to friends and neighbours, or ask a vendor if he /she would be interested on selling them for you .
I wish that I was your neighbour ! We are having a difficult time to keep them alive in Canada.
Reply:Put a curse on it like Jesus did. I can't remember what he said but it did the trick. It was something like, Damn tree, ain't worth squirt. This paraphrase may be a little off but you get the gist of it.
Reply:If you don't want to take the time to pick the fruit and give it away, there are volunteer programs in some communities that will pick excess or unwanted fruit to donate to local food banks and charities. Contact your local food bank or church and offer to let them take the fruit from your tree.
Here is an example of one program: http://www.thefigtree.org/april07images/...
There no way to just make it stop fruiting, so you might as well share the bounty.

My fig tree made late this year. Most of the figs are bug infested and rotten before I could pick them. Why?
The adult bug laid eggs in the flower before the fruit even appeared. They hatch into larvae when the fruit begins to ripen and eat the insides.
Check an agricultural supply store for a spray to use at the flowering stage. Be careful with poisons!

Our fig tree has figs but they don't ripen - they just remain hard and green. What can I do?
Might have something to do with the weather. This year our peaches did the same thing (we had one night of freeze that was not planned). I would try a fertilizer made just for fruit trees. That is what I am going to try ~ it can't hurt. Good luck.
Our fig tree has figs but they don't ripen - they just remain hard and green. What can I do?
Never fertilize a sick plant. Call an arborist, or wait 'til next year.

Are Figs fattening?And how many calories are there in a fig?
And I was also wondering if you could tell me about the most fattening fruits and vegetables plz and thank you.=)
Are Figs fattening?And how many calories are there in a fig?
Figs are high in carbohydrates (sugars) can be fattening if you don't use the calories. A fruit snack about an hour before exercising is a really good idea!
Bananas are not fattening, but they have more carbs than watery fruits, and overweight people should count one banana as 2 servings of fruit.
The carbs are about the same in bananas and fresh figs. Figs are smaller than bananas, so one fig is still one serving of fruit :)
Fresh figs have 74cal.*,1% protein, 19% carbs, 3% fiber and 0,3% fat.
In comparison bananas have 89cal.*, 1% protein, 23% carbs, 3% fiber, 0,3% fat.
Dried figs have 249cal.*, 3% protein 64% carbs., 10% fiber, and 1% fat.
Are figs fattening? Only if you don't use the carb-energy ;)
*) Cal. per 100 grams or 3 ounces
Reply:Three figs, fresh or dried, contain about five grams of fibre. The soluble fibre contained in Figs can help people cut down on snacking because it causes nutrients to be absorbed more slowly, making people feel more satisfied after a meal. However, it should be remembered that Figs are high in calories(there are about 50 calories in a fig but they are highly nutricious). The only fruit I know of that is high in fat is the avocado. The average medium sized avocado contains about 30 grams of fat and 300 calories.
hope it helped :)

Do fig newtons really taste like figs, or do they just put tons of sugar in it?
They really taste like figs. I hate them personally.
Do fig newtons really taste like figs, or do they just put tons of sugar in it?
i love the taste of fresh figs and think there's a world of difference b/w fresh figs and fig newtons even though fig newtons can be addictive. so i agree, it's the sugar!
Reply:Why don't you go buy a fig and do an official taste test.
I doubt Nabisco could get away with calling them Fig Newtons if they didn't contain, and taste like, figs. Too many lawyers out there.
Reply:Real figs are very sweet, but Nabisco puts extra sugar in those cookies anyway. Food manufacturers put extra sugar, salt, etc. in everything. Check out a jar of applesauce. Are there people out there that actually think an apple is not sweet enough? The Fig Newtons taste like figs though.
Reply:They really do have figs in them, but that doesn't mean the sugar isn't there too.
Reply:The only thing figs and Fig Newtons have in common are the seeds. I like Newtons, but nothing compares to a fresh fig. It's a different kind of sweet, a natural fresh sweet, not refined sugar sweet.
Reply:Yes, they taste like dried figs but with lots of sugar.
Reply:Fig newtons are crap.. The quality of their product has gone so far down hill in the past 10 years. They use to be moist and tasty now they are dry and bitter...
Reply:Comparing fresh figs to Fig Newtons is like comparing great drama by a talented group of actors to a school play put on by elementary students who have no interest in performing on stage.
Or it's like your favorite food. If you eat it yourself, it's wonderful. If your grandmother prechews it for you and spits it on your plate so you can eat it in a prechewed form, it just doesn't taste the same. It is the same food, but grandma's prechewed version is missing a lot.
If you ever get a chance to eat fresh Black Mission figs, you'll notice a world of difference. The fresh figs are moist, perfectly sweet and addictive. Fig Newtons are a totally different thing.

Reply:The only thing figs and Fig Newtons have in common are the seeds. I like Newtons, but nothing compares to a fresh fig. It's a different kind of sweet, a natural fresh sweet, not refined sugar sweet.
Reply:Yes, they taste like dried figs but with lots of sugar.
Reply:Fig newtons are crap.. The quality of their product has gone so far down hill in the past 10 years. They use to be moist and tasty now they are dry and bitter...
Reply:Comparing fresh figs to Fig Newtons is like comparing great drama by a talented group of actors to a school play put on by elementary students who have no interest in performing on stage.
Or it's like your favorite food. If you eat it yourself, it's wonderful. If your grandmother prechews it for you and spits it on your plate so you can eat it in a prechewed form, it just doesn't taste the same. It is the same food, but grandma's prechewed version is missing a lot.
If you ever get a chance to eat fresh Black Mission figs, you'll notice a world of difference. The fresh figs are moist, perfectly sweet and addictive. Fig Newtons are a totally different thing.

Scientific Notation and Sig Fig help?
How would you put them in scientific notation?
1. 20.0890
2. 199.900
3. 35,000
Round off these numbers until you get to 3 sig figs.
1. 20.0890

Thank You! I have my first Chem. test tommarow!
Scientific Notation and Sig Fig help?
Scientific Notation:
1. 20.0890
If you want to turn this into scientific notation, you see where the decimal place is? Move that little dot to the left or right so that you only have 1 digit on the left. So, since it is 20.0890, you can move the DOT one place to the left and you have 2.00890
Now since you moved it over 1 place, it is 2.0089 * 10^1
If you want to test it, you can do the math and you will see that if you times 2.0089 by 10^1, you will get the original answer.
2. 199.900
With this one, you are going to have to move that little decimal POINT to the LEFT two place to get the first digit by itself. You would now have 1.99900
BUT, you have to times that by some POWER of 10. Since you moved it over 2 places, it would be 1.999 * 10^2
You see how I raise the ten to the number of times I moved the decimal point over?
3. 35,000
For this one, you have to add your own decimal point since it is not given to you.
You probably know that 35,000 is the SAME as 35,000.0 (that POINT 0 doesn't affect the number at all, right?) To get the first digit by itself, move that decimal point to the LEFT 4 times. You would now have 3.5, but then you have to times that by 10^4 (you moved it over 4 times)
Sig Figs:
1. 20.0890
Rounding Sig Figs is basically the same as rounding any number. Since you have to round it to THREE sig figs, you can start with the first REAL number (don't count zeros!), in this case it is 2. Then, go over 3 figures and you are at the second 0. Now, you know that that 2nd 0 is the one you are going to have to round. Since the number to the RIGHT of that 0 is GREATER than 5, you round up!
The answer would be 2.01.
Do you get it?
2. 199.900
With this one, start with the 1 as your first sig fig. Then move over 2 (so you moved over 3 total) and you are at the 2nd 9. Since the number to the RIGHT of that 9 is GREATER than 5, you would round it up. Since 9 can't round up to another number, you have to also round the number to the left of it. Since that number is a 9 as well, you have to round up the number to the left of THAT, until you get to a lower number.
The answer would be 200 because of the rounding.
3. 35,000
For this one, the answer isn't any different. There are only TWO sig figs in this number to begin with. Any place holders (like 000,000,000) don't count as sig figs. Since this only has 2 figures, it just stays the same
:)
To round this "0.00250" to 3 significant figures, you would go to the first REAL number, like before. Since 0s don't count as real numbers WHEN THEY ARE AT THE START, you would start with 2 as the first sig fig. Move over 3 and you are at the 0. Since there are no numbers to the LEFT of 0, you don't have anything to round and your answer stays the same
The answer is .00250 :)
Reply:1. 2.0089 X 10 to the first power
2. 1.999 x 10 to the second power
3 3.5 x 10 to the fourth power

You think maybe cursing the fig tree was rather petulant on Jesus' part?
Mark 11:13; Matthew 21:19
Hi, everybody, I'm Saint Lurid, and I'm wondering what was up with that?
I mean, it wasn't even the season for figs, and Jesus didn't find any figs on the tree, and cursed it?
Does that maybe tell you something?

Reply:The fig tree is Israel and the Bible is filled with types and shadows.
In 70 AD the Roman general Titus destroyed Jerusalem as Jesus predicted.
Israel was cursed from the roots up, but as we see it is prospering again.
The roots were still there.
Jesus told them to learn a parable of the fig tree and he showed his power with that one fig tree when he found no fruit on it that whether it was the season or not, he is God
and Israel had missed their time of visitation and judgment must come.

Why did Jesus curse the fig tree?
Althought it was not the season for figs?
Mar 11:13 For it was not the season for figs.
Why did Jesus curse the fig tree?
The evangelist's statement is somewhat puzzling—until we understand the growth and reproductive cycles of fig trees. Notice the following interesting information about the fig season in Palestine:
It has been asked, 'How could our Lord expect to find ripe figs in the end of March?' Answer, Because figs were ripe in Judea as early as the Passover. Besides, the fig tree puts forth its fruit first, and afterwards its leaves. Indeed, this tree, in the climate which is proper for it, has fruit on it all the year round, as I have often seen.
Fruit tree growers know that ordinarily a small amount of fruit ripens prior to the main crop. It is referred to as the first ripe fruit or the firstfruits. When Jesus approached the tree, it was the time of the firstfruits of figs, but it was not yet time for the main harvest. Mark 11:13 must mean that the particular tree on which Christ expected to find figs was barren, because it had no figs on it at all. It did not fulfill its purpose, and as any diligent orchardist would do, Jesus simply eliminated an unproductive tree, not with an ax or a saw, but by faith. (Compare Luke 13:6-9)
Jesus used this incident to teach His disciples—and all Christians today—that the outward appearance does not count with God. Instead, what really counts is whether or not one produces godly fruit in his or her life (John 15:8, 16; Galatians 5:22-23).
Reply:Dude,why do you choose an answer from someone who called "Allah"as the moon god. Report It
Reply:He was just showing off in a demonstration.
Reply:The fig tree bears fruit before it grows leaves. Because, the tree had no fruit but did have leaves. In Cursing the tree, Jesus was telling us that if we do not bear the fruit of the spirit, which is Love, Joy, Peace, Patients, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control, we are not following Him. He says that He is the vine and we are the branches.
Reply:And your point is? Are you feeling sorry for the fig tree? Or are you missing the message that Jesus was wanting to teach His disciples? Read on the passage and you would know that Jesus was using a "visual aid" to teach His disciples another lesson on having faith. Some Bible teachers opined that there are other implications in this event and have various views on what the fig tree (usually used as a metaphor for Israel) and the fruits mean. But from the text itself Jesus was using an object lesson to teach about having faith.
Reply:Did he stub his toe on one?
Reply:The passage is referring to the gathering of the figs, not the fact that the season of fruit appearing on the fig trees had not yet come.
When Christ saw this fig tree by the way-side, apparently flourishing, he went to it to gather some of the figs: being on the way-side, it was not private, but public property; and any traveler had an equal right to its fruit.
As it was not as yet the time for gathering in the fruits, and yet about the time when they were ready to be gathered, our Lord with propriety expected to find some. But as this happened about five days before that passover on which Christ suffered, and the passover that year fell on the beginning of April, it has been asked, “How could Christ expect to find ripe figs in the end of March?”
Answer:
Because figs were ripe in Judea as early as the passover. Besides, the fig tree puts forth its fruit first, and afterwards its leaves. Indeed, this tree, in the climate which is proper for it, has fruit on it all the year round.
All the difficulty in the text may be easily removed by considering that the climate of Judea is widely different from that of Great Britain. The summer begins there in March, and the harvest at the passover, as all travelers into those countries testify; therefore, as our Lord met with this tree five days before the passover, it is evident, - 1st. That it was the time of ripe figs: and, 2ndly. That it was not YET the time of gathering them, because this did not begin till the passover, and the transaction here mentioned took place five days before.
Reply:12The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it.
Reply:Jesus used this incident to teach His disciples—and all believers today—that the outward appearance does not count with God. Instead, what really counts is whether or not one produces godly fruit in his or her life (John 15:8, 16; Galatians 5:22-23).
Reply:It is a parable against unfruitfulness and unrealized power. Jesus asserts his power over Nature. See also Matthew 21:18-22. Jesus continues teaching this theme in Mark 12.
Reply:I guess you're talking about when Adam and Eve sinned, right? Well, no one actually knows which kind of fruit tree Eve ate from, but we know that it was not actually "cursed." God cursed Satan who was disguised as a snake by making all of the snakes slither on their bellies. (one day God will cast Satin into hell)
I hope this answered your question!
Reply:The Crow (Algorab) was too late at the fig tree and came back with a lie in his beak about the truth.
I did not know that Jesus could "curse" a tree but if he did I believe it was because the fig tree hid the serpent, and the leaf of the fig tree was used to hide nudity after the figs were gone.

Go on, people, put as many thumb down to anybody as you wish!
Do you think I care ?

All the difficulty in the text may be easily removed by considering that the climate of Judea is widely different from that of Great Britain. The summer begins there in March, and the harvest at the passover, as all travelers into those countries testify; therefore, as our Lord met with this tree five days before the passover, it is evident, - 1st. That it was the time of ripe figs: and, 2ndly. That it was not YET the time of gathering them, because this did not begin till the passover, and the transaction here mentioned took place five days before.
Reply:12The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it.
Reply:Jesus used this incident to teach His disciples—and all believers today—that the outward appearance does not count with God. Instead, what really counts is whether or not one produces godly fruit in his or her life (John 15:8, 16; Galatians 5:22-23).
Reply:It is a parable against unfruitfulness and unrealized power. Jesus asserts his power over Nature. See also Matthew 21:18-22. Jesus continues teaching this theme in Mark 12.
Reply:I guess you're talking about when Adam and Eve sinned, right? Well, no one actually knows which kind of fruit tree Eve ate from, but we know that it was not actually "cursed." God cursed Satan who was disguised as a snake by making all of the snakes slither on their bellies. (one day God will cast Satin into hell)
I hope this answered your question!
Reply:The Crow (Algorab) was too late at the fig tree and came back with a lie in his beak about the truth.
I did not know that Jesus could "curse" a tree but if he did I believe it was because the fig tree hid the serpent, and the leaf of the fig tree was used to hide nudity after the figs were gone.
