Bearing fruit

[Grace777x70]

You said

There is more than one verse in Matthew 7, so the whole context is not limited to false prophets only, but is also about every bad tree and every good tree. False prophets are not good trees, so we know the context of Matthew 7 is not limited to only false prophets. Nor is every bad tree a false prophet, as there is more than one way to be a bad tree. So no the context of Matthew 7 is not limited only to false prophets.

Also works of the flesh= sinful behaviour is listed in the scriptures, look it up.

The context is without a doubt about false prophets and it was Jesus Himself that said it. I'll stick with Him. Thanks...

The first rule in interpreting scripture is who is doing the talking and who is He talking to.

But you are free to believe whatever you want....have a good night!

You were shown by numerous people that "taketh away" is really "lifts up". The predominate usage is to "lift up, take up".

[FONT="Gentium" !important][I]airō[/I][/FONT] verb
[/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2][B][COLOR=#008000]Raise, lift up, take up, pick up, bear away, carry off.[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2][B]
Complete Biblical Library Greek-English Dictionary, The - The Complete Biblical Library Greek-English Dictionary – Alpha-Gamma.

Here are some other uses in the NT showing how this word is used.

Matthew 14:20 (NASB)
[SUP][COLOR=#000000]20 [/COLOR][/SUP] and they all ate and were satisfied[COLOR=#000000]. They[/COLOR][COLOR=#008000] picked up [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]what was le[/COLOR]ft over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.
Matthew 16:24 (NASB)

[SUP][COLOR=#000000]24 [/COLOR][/SUP][/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2][B] Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and [COLOR=#008000]take up hi[/COLOR]s cross and follow Me.

Matthew 17:27 (NASB)
[SUP][COLOR=#000000]27 [/COLOR][/SUP] "However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and[COLOR=#008000] take the [/COLOR]first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me."

Mark 2:11 (NASB)
[SUP][COLOR=#000000]11 [/COLOR][/SUP] "I say to you, get up[COLOR=#008000], pick up [/COLOR]your pallet and go home."

Anyway there are literally almost a hundred of these. When one continues to read scriptures with the mindset that we must "do things" in order to be saved to go to heaven - then we will see death, destruction, accursedness, evil, sin in everything instead of viewing it through the finished work of Christ.

And you are free to view scripture how ever you want too....[/B][/SIZE][/QUOTE]

I proved your twisting of scripture wrong in my OP, these 2 teachings of Jesus are saying the same thing, note the same words [COLOR=#ff0000][B]taken away[/B][/COLOR](G142) is used in both. As you can see "lifted up" would not make any sense in Matthew 13:12, as it also does not make sense in the context of branches being removed [COLOR=#ff0000][B]to be burned[/B][/COLOR] in John 15. Have a nice day.

You are still straining at gnats in order to swallow Joseph Princes camel. Here is Matthew 7, notice there is a lot more "context" in it than just the words "false prophet." LOL

Matthew 7"Judge not, that ye be not judged.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
[SUP]8 [/SUP]For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
[SUP]11 [/SUP]If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[SUP]23 [/SUP]And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
[SUP]25 [/SUP]And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
[SUP]27 [/SUP]And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
[SUP]29 [/SUP]For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes."

 

[Grace777x70]

okie dokie...but I'm going to stick with believing Jesus. Thank you anyways.


Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

[SUP]17[/SUP]Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

[SUP]18 [/SUP]A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

[SUP]19 [/SUP]Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

[SUP]20 [/SUP]Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

By their fruits you shall know the false prophets is clearly what Jesus was talking about but you are free to believe anything you want.

Not hard to imagine what fire burns the bad non good fruit bearing trees and branches.

Matthew 13:41-50[SUP]41 [/SUP]The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
[SUP]42 [/SUP]And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[SUP]43 [/SUP]Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
[SUP]44 [/SUP]Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
[SUP]45 [/SUP]Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
[SUP]46 [/SUP]Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
[SUP]47 [/SUP]Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
[SUP]48 [/SUP]Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
[SUP]49 [/SUP]So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
[SUP]50 [/SUP]And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

Once again, that has nothing to do with the analogy of the Vine and the branches. We are called to take from scripture what is actually there, not insert into it what we "imagine".

By their fruits you shall know the false prophets

That's how I know Joseph Prince is a false teacher, by his words and actions= fruit. He is held in high regard (honor) by many carnally minded men and women, but he abides not in the doctrine of Jesus Christ, and he understands not, therefore he is unable to bear good fruit.

Matthew 13:23
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.



He is of the scarlet colored beast.


Psalm 49:12
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

[InSpiritInTruth]

Notice these are all servants of the Lord who were given talents, just as Jesus was said to have given gifts unto his disciples. So these were believers, but notice what happens to the "unfruitful" servant (branch).

Matthew 25:14-30 "For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.[SUP]15 [/SUP]And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
[SUP]25 [/SUP]And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
[SUP]27 [/SUP]Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

[SUP]30 [/SUP]And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Let's preach the gospel of the grace of Christ to the world so that they will not be blotted out of the book of life because Christ redeemed us. This will bear good fruit.


John 3:16-18 (NASB)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

[SUP]17 [/SUP] "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

[SUP]18 [/SUP] "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


2 Corinthians 5:18-19 (NASB)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,

[SUP]19 [/SUP] namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

 

[Grace777x70]

Here is a grace-based view of Matthew 25 for those interested. I like to sometimes use this site as has people asking questions at the bottom which have helped to see what the Lord was saying to the people He was speaking to.

The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30)


Once upon a time there was a man who went on a journey and before he left he entrusted three servants with his money. When the man returned, he praised the two servants who had doubled his money, but the third servant, who had done nothing, was thrown outside into the darkness.

The parable of the talents (Matt 25:14-30) is used by some to say, “Jesus paid a great price for you. If you don’t work hard to give him a return for his investment, he will toss you into the outer darkness. So get busy for Jesus.”

This resonates with those who see themselves as servants rather than sons of God, but it’s not what the parable is about. In the story, the servants don’t work at all; the money works:

The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. (Matt 25:16-17)

How do you put money to work? You invest it. Some translations say the servants traded the money. Perhaps they became money-lenders, or maybe they financed a business venture. I lived in Hong Kong, so I don’t find this hard to imagine. In Hong Kong you can smell the money working.

The parable of the talents is not about how hard you work for God, but what you will do with the riches he has given to you. In the story Jesus is the man going on a journey. The wealth given to the servants represents his grace, for grace is a gift and not a wage.

Jesus has entrusted you with the riches of his grace – his love, favor, and forgiveness. What will you do with his gifts? Will you invest them or scorn them? Will you put his grace to work? Or will you bury it in the ground?

How do you put grace to work?

In the story, two servants put their master’s wealth to work and both get a good return. The master is delighted:

“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” (Matt 25:21)

The master promotes the servants and makes them rulers in charge of many things. The Message Bible says he makes them his partners, which is a very apt description of what Jesus does for us:

For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! (Rom 5:17)

God gives you grace so that you will be set free from servitude and reign in life through Jesus. How does it happen? It begins by believing that God loves you and is pleased with you.

When you realize that you are your Father’s dearly-beloved child it will free you from the treadmill of dead works. You won’t exhaust yourself seeking his acceptance and approval because in Christ you already have it! When you know that he has clothed you with his righteousness, you will be free from the law that makes men slaves (Gal 4:24).

How do we make grace work?

By trusting in it from start to finish. As we behold the grace of God revealed in Jesus, we are transformed. We mature into who we already are in Christ, kings and priests who reign over the earth (Rev 1:6, 5:10).

What about the third servant?

In the story the master is unimpressed with the servant who buried the gift:

“You wicked, lazy servant! … You should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.” (Matt 25:26-27)

There are different ways to invest money, but the easiest is to put it in the bank and accumulate interest. Yet the third servant didn’t even do this. He couldn’t be bothered. Instead he makes a speech that reveals his contempt for his master’s grace:

“Master, I knew that you are a hard man…” (Matt 25:24a)

A hard man?! His master gave him a bag of gold. For free! This was his golden ticket, a way out of servitude, but he scorned it.

“You are a hard man harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.” (Matt 25:24a)

In other words, “You’re unreasonable Lord. You don’t play by the rules. Who gives bags of gold to servants? You must be nuts. I want nothing to do with your reckless grace and I feel quite justified in not playing your silly games. Besides, you gave me a great deal of money and I didn’t want to be held accountable for it:

“So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground.” (Matt 25:25a)

This actually makes sense to the self-righteous mind. “If I don’t earn it, I don’t want it.”

“See, here is what belongs to you.” (Matt 25:25b)

In other words, “Take back your bag of grace. I don’t need it, I don’t want it, and I will not be in your debt.”

Needless to say, Jesus is not impressed with the third servant. He calls him wicked, lazy, and worthless, and has him thrown into the outer darkness. His reaction to the self-righteous servant echoes his reaction to the foolish virgins in the preceding parable (“I don’t know you”; Matt 25:12), and the goats in the next one (“Depart from me”; Matt 25:41).

Parabolic pictures of faith

In three parables Jesus us gives three pictures of faith and unbelief. Faith is looking forward to the Lord’s return (the parable of the ten virgins), it’s receiving the wealth of his grace (the parable of the talents), and investing it in the lives of those who need it (the parable of the sheep and goats).

These parables should not be read as moral lessons as in, “You’d better keep watch, get busy, and serve or else!” They are stories about Jesus and what people do with him.

In the parable of the talents the faithful servants were faithful because they received the master’s gift, and the lazy servant was unfaithful because he rejected it.

The faithful servants prospered because they allowed room for God’s grace to work in their lives, but the wicked servant missed out because he didn’t trust the master. In the end the third’s gift is taken away and he is sent into the outer darkness, not in punishment, but because he fears the master and has no wish to share in his happiness.

Ultimately, all three servants get what they desire, and so do we. Those who want to receive the riches of God’s grace shall have it and have it in abundance. And those who prefer the solitary path of the self-made man, even though it leads to misery and darkness, shall have that too.

Take the gold!

So what is the takeaway? Take the Master’s bag of gold and spend it, trade it, invest it, do whatever you like with it, but don’t hand it back unopened and unused. Grace, like gold, is meant to be used, not left in the ground.

But unlike gold, God’s grace never runs out. As you draw on his grace to buy freedom, health, deliverance, and wisdom, his grace grows, and “the one who has will be given more, and they will have an abundance” (Matt 25:29).

To see his children growing and prospering in grace makes the Lord happy.

It will make you happy too!

Matthew 22"And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
[SUP]2 [/SUP]The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]For many are called, but few are chosen.

 

[InSpiritInTruth]

This resonates with those who see themselves as servants rather than sons of God, but it’s not what the parable is about. In the story, the servants don’t work at all; the money works:

Well we know the wicked and slothful servant didn't work with his God given talent, but no, servants generally serve their Masters will.

In the parable of the talents the faithful servants were faithful because they received the master’s gift, and the lazy servant was unfaithful because he rejected it.

Nope, they all received gifts, every man according to his ability to work. (oops there's that bad word "work" to Hyper grace folk) But the wicked and slothful servant was unprofitable= "unfruitful" so he was not "doing" what he should have done with his God given talents he freely received.

Above we see another fine example of Hyper grace followers twisting the true meaning of scripture to conform to their false doctrine. Thanks for another fine example of more false teachings from the Escape from reality web site.

Those who are truly in the body of Christ and truly of God's Spirit of Truth do not handle the words of God deceitfully and twist words and meanings in scripture in order to promote false doctrine, like yourself. You have been warned, and you have a nice day.
