--- Quote from: wdj on January 05, 2008, 08:09:52 pm ---John 1 goes on to say Jesus recruits his first apostles at and soon after John's baptism ceremony.
One of them, Nathaniel, is impressed that Jesus had seen him under a fig tree. I don't see yet what this is about, but it seemed to be a big deal to Nathaniel. Any thoughts?

It is always my idea to examine human nature when confronted with things such as this..no proof mind, but my
opinion....I think that Natanial, as well as the writer of the gospel of John, always sought to he esteemed and
placed in high regard by Jesus...They were probably saying in their own way, I wonder why he picked me out
sitting under yon fig tree. Or maybe saying Look at me, I was so wonderful that he noticed me even as I sat alone
under a fig tree. Does that not make me a special one..that he thusly selected me above others...

;) I guess I forgot the most obvious interpretation ... logos = logic. So the author of John was a Vulcan! :o
In the beginning was logic. Logic was with God, and logic was God. Logic was in the beginning with God.
All things through happened through logic, and nothing happened without it. In logic was life, and that life was the light of men. That light shone in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
