You Will Know Them By Their Fruits.

You made me think of fruit for some reason?

Well one thing is for sure you do not have to worry about your reputation getting in the way of who you truly are!

I did not know you found your own bad fruit comical?

The last three post were real edifying, real christlike Smh

@jackrosie why do you find Jesus’ teachings boring? That doesn’t say much for you having Fruit of the Spirit. But I digress; it’s not surprising. Sad, but not surprising.

And yours are?

You mean like this post?

And this one?

Those un-Christ-like posts you put out?

What about the one where you bullied another for liking a post? That one too?

Exactly which Christ-like attributes are you representing in your above post? Oh that’s right, none whatsoever. But you don’t have to; God predestined you for “heaven” 😆

We interrupt this intercontinental schoolyard brawl for a commercial break. 😎

Idols come to mind...

Leviticus 26:1
“You shall not make idols for yourselves or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the LORD your God.

Wisen up my friends. Do not fall for discord that is being sown among brethren, to fight one another.
This is the fruit of all threads where certain people are involved. Wisen up and avoid them.

John 3:7

Christ is risen, he's no longer in the tomb.

Exodus 20:4

“You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.
...xox...

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,.... An image of anything graven by art or man's device, cut out of wood of stone, and so anything that was molten, or cast into a mould or form, engraved by men, and this in order to be worshipped; for otherwise images of things might be made for other uses and purposes, as the cherubim over the mercy seat, and the brazen serpent, and images and impressions on coin, which we do not find the Jews themselves scrupled to make use of in Christ's time on that account; though they vehemently opposed the setting up any images of the Caesars or emperors in their temple, because they seemed to be placed there as deities, and had a show of religious worship: however, any image of God was not to be made at all, since no similitude was ever seen of him, or any likeness could be conceived; and it must be a gross piece of ignorance, madness, and impudence, to pretend to make one, and great impiety to make it in order to be the object of religious worship; on which account, not any image or the image of anything whatever was to be made:

or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above; any form, figure, portrait, or picture of anything or creature whatever, whether in the supreme, starry, or airy heaven; as of angels, which some have gone into the worship of; and of the sun, moon, and stars, the host of heaven; and of any of the birds of the air, as the hawk by the Egyptians, and the dove by the Assyrians:

or that is in the earth beneath; as oxen, sheep, goats, cats, dogs, &c. such as were the gods of Egypt:

or that is in the water under the earth: as of fishes, such as were the crocodile of Egypt, the Dagon of the Philistines, and the Derceto of the Syrians: this is the second command, as the Targum of Jonathan expressly calls it; that is, the first part of it, which forbids the making of graven images for worship; the other part follows, which is the worship of them itself: Clemens of Alexandria (d) observes, that Numa, king of the Romans, took this from Moses, and forbid the Romans to make any image of God, like to man or beast. - John Gill

Trying to get back on track.. I do think it is important to understand suffering correctly.

Suffering is not the source of bearing fruit neither is it the source of our glorification.

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.

Paul was writing to believers in Rome who were experiencing persecution.

He is teaching them that as believers, those in Him, they are not immune to the sufferings in this world.

Reminding them they are joint heirs with Christ and to remember that suffering is only temporary and their future glorification will far exceed their present suffering.

Sharing in His glory is not contingent upon suffering........................ that is not the correct way to read that section.

We share in His glory because we ARE His children and joint heirs WITH Him.

And perhaps @jackrosie you could explain why you disagree instead just hitting the emoji button.

Unlike you, I pray for your salvation. 😎

Do you see me belittling people? Acting like a child who is not getting her way? Bullying others?

Thank you, I will take it under consideration.

You’re not a bully; your heart is too pure for that, but you are hypocritical. You go at it with people then condemn others for doing the same. In a weird way I respect false-preacher because at least I know where he stands.
