I have not read one place in scripture that states the "fruit of the spirit" is earned?

True they are not earned they grow in the believer by grounding ourselves in good soil ( the love of God) absorbing sunlight ( the word of God) and making sure we get plenty of water ( time and communion with God ) Otherwise the fruits can become parched.
I think it will help in many of these discussions for people to just state, "I disagree with you, this is what I believe in..." without inserting additional comments like "You are preaching falsehoods, you are immature, you are heretical".
In short, focus on their differing points of view, instead of passing judgements on others viewpoints.

Well I started in this thread when it was still kind of new but things here at home kept me at bay from coming online I cannot go through all the pages and read all the posts though it hurts my eyes and they are not yet fully recovered from all the surgeries we had to do for them
It started out as far as I can tell a decent discusiioon and honestly when and how it went awry isn't important what matters is that we recover from it all. And thank you I had no idea you held me in such regard but the credit isn't due to me if you hold me in regard I hope it is only for what the fruits of God not me personally

Exactly, there is nothing wrong with giving correction when it is needed and even heated debates can be a way to learn ( particularly what not to do ) but if it results in such behavior then that debate has lost it's value and bears no fruits for anyone
We have to know when to shake the dust off our feet and walk away

What you all have been doing is no better than preacher. How can I condemn him for falsely accusing and bullying people when you all do it?
THAT would make Me a hypocrite
What I realized is I joined in because you all believe mostly as I do. And someone pointed that out to me. So I
Observed and found it to Be true

Guys just leave laying dogs alone, I know it is tempting to respond to others about the past of this thread but it is not a thread of who did what or he said she said it is about the fruits of the spirit. We all make mistakes and all sometimes respond as we shouldn't but love forgives and moves on.

None of your accusations on me are true and remain unsubstantiated.
I've falsely accused no one nor have I bullied anyone and there is obviously no proof. Unsubstantiated claims are false, but you think if you make them, keep repeating your lies long enough it makes them true. I've asked you for evidence in the past and you offered none.
You say publicly you have me on ignore and still lie about and talk down about me as in the above? Quite uncool and very un-Christian of you.
You've bullied @jackrosie on here for agreeing with my posts, liking my posts, being my friend, and have shamed her for it publicly. That's a sad fact. It is nothing short of bullying, sowing discord and causing division.
Agreed. 👍

Interesting, I think thru this, I understand better how cyber bullying work among youths of this Internet generation.
Even though you are not directly participating in the cyber bullying act itself, but every time you retweet, share, or like such attacks, you are indirectly encouraging the perpetrators.

Jesus gave the cup of his blood to his disciples to drink. Maybe you missed these passages. There are more.
Phil. 3: 10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Col. 1:24
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

Are you feeling empowered now?
Did you even read the exchange that occurred on the thread?
How about some honesty... I will be waiting on that one.
