I would say that persecution is the result of the world hating us for our stance.....If they shall beat and kill the master, what shall they do to the servant.
Is enduring persecution listed with the FRUIT of the Spirit?
I will also make a point....Fruit in and of itself dows not necessarily = singular.....I.E. A bowl on the table with apples, oranges and pears is still called a Bowl of Fruit! <-singular yet = 3 kinds

For instance a user on here from yesterday who I am sure is banned now came on here and he was a Jewish person, He made a thread and posted his post, in all honesty I could not understand the point he was trying to make in it
but when his point was question or disagreed with he instantly made attacks while lifting himself up, he laimed that by disagreeing we were the children of the devil and made false accusation of people and when I corrected him about all this he said I was twisting words and speaking the serpents tongue or whatever.
This is a very obvious example of the fruits that are not of Christ the spirit of accusation pointing fingers while elevating yourself

We are not talking about persecution causing the outward growth of believers, but rather some here trying to add it to the list and force it to Grow The FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
OF or FROM can be translated either way and indicate SOURCE
The SPIRIT IS THE SOURCE OF FRUIT....not persecution!

Just think of all the Anabaptists, Paulicians, Albigensians, Lollards, Waldensians etc. the Catholic church made holy by having them killed for a refusal to bow once a year to a priest or take communion with the "State Church" <--Foxes Book of Martyrs, The Churches of the Valley of Piedmont............

It is impossible to logically discuss the truth with anyone that will deny context, embellish the word, reject the definitions of words while refusing to acknowledge the truth just because it comes from a source you don't like.......it amazes me how some can just make up context as they go for the sake of argument and or a refusal to acknowledge given truth!

Persecution can and does produce fruit....no one said it was the source...who said it was the source @dcontroversal ?
Quote one verse in context that states verbatim that persecution produces LOVE in a believer!
The fruit OF the SPIRIT <--LOOK the word OF up in GREEK...it can be TRANSLATED OF or FROM and BOTH indicate source
LOVE IS OF GOD.....NOT persecution.....US enduring persecution is because of who we are and what we already POSSESS
