I don't see any fruit inspection in any of your quotes. Do you know what an inspector is? Do you know what the verb inspect means? Where did I inspect your fruit? What fruit of yours did I examine carefully and assess it's genuinity? Stating a scriptural principle is not inspecting fruit. You have no argument, so you have to change the meaning of words.
AND you are the one who judges by calling people hypocrites and spiritually dead. So even if I was fruit inspecting, Which I was not, you would be judging me for doing something you yourself do (Romans 2:1).
You should take the beam out of your own eye...

False accusations, like accusing me of fruit inspection, is not a challenge.
if a mob misrepresents you because one or two people threw out an unsubstantiated false accusation, then your comparison would be valid. False misrepresentation is not a challenge.
I have challenged EVERYONE to show ONE instance where I inspected fruit. No one has succeeded in doing so.

Really not impressed with spouted credentials. I remember speaking with a seminary graduate about a certain subject (really important subject but not specifically the subject at hand) and as we spoke he declared his masters paper was on that specific subject. That didn't end our conversation. We spoke for about a half hour and he was visibly physically shaking toward the end...not angry, wild eyed, or anything like that, but visibly physically shaking. I was rather taken aback so changed the conversation and we went about the business we were involved with. I knew he had seen truth in the word we were discussing, but I, at that time, was under the impression folks claiming interest in the bible, would be joyous in seeing truth. But this is often not the case, especially when it comes to "stop sinning".
He has me on ignore because he agreed with DC that "it takes a period of growth and maturity for a Christian to bear ANY fruit". I pointed out that was a universal statement that even if it is true in some cases (which I don't think it is), yet there is no scriptural basis to make a universal statement like that as if it applies to everyone. He didn't get it. Couldn't follow a rational response to a statement, and therefore put me on ignore

LOL, it does. But according to your earlier statements, a Christian could not give a cup of cold water to a disciple without a period of grpwth and maturity. REMEMBER?
IT takes a period of growth and maturity for a Christian to bear anything.;.is what you said. In context of bearing fruit. Thanks for contradicting yourself so eloquently.
