I'm trying to figure out how to add pictures and snippets of articles to my posts,and how to cut and paste :idunno

I was able to put the picture of a fig tree budding on,but I have an article too that I would like to add a small part of,but don't know how.:doh

LOL I didn't notice I was in The Testing Lab. Sorry.

If you just want to cut and paste a portion of an article, here goes:
Cut and paste the portion to your post. Highlight the article portion and then click on the text balloon at the top of the reply box. It will put quote tags around it and it will look like this reply.

Is that what you were looking for?

Thank you,it helps but I don't even know how to cut and paste,that's what I was trying to figure out.
I'm not going to worry about it much more today,I need to get busy doing other things!

I see. To highlight text that you want to copy, place your cursor at the beginning of what you want to copy. Hold down the left mouse button as you move your cursor to the end of the block of text. Let go of the left button and click the right button while the cursor is somewhere over the highlighted text. Choose copy. Go to the location that you want to copy the text to, click on the right mouse button, and select paste. Voila!

Now it should also be perfectly clear what the parable of the fig tree in the Olivet Discourse means. As the disciples were walking into the city on Tuesday morning after Palm Sunday, they noticed that the tree which Jesus had cursed the day before had withered and dried up. Later, on Tuesday evening, when the memory of the withered fig tree was still fresh in their minds, Jesus spoke the parable in question. He said that when the church sees the fig tree leafing out again, it will know that "it is . . . at the doors." The Greek for "it is" can also be translated "he is." In prophecy, "door" is often a symbol for the passageway between heaven and earth (Rev. 4:1). What the parable means, therefore, is that when the nation of Israel revives after its coming disintegration and death in A.D. 70, the return of Christ will be imminent.

I finally figured it out!!! Yeah!!! :yeah:yeah:yeah

Luke 13:6-9The standard interpretation is that the owner is the Father, the keeper is Christ, and tree is Israel. If this interpretation is correct, the meaning of the parable is transparent. Jesus' ministry has gone on for three years without any fruit and the Father is ready to set Israel aside, but the Son pleads for the nation, asking that it be cultivated another year and given another chance.But notice Jesus' view of the fig tree a year later, after the year of prolonged opportunity had passed by.11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou Now I'm having fun!!! It only took all day long! :doh
