Show me were I EVER said humans are the vine, or anyone else said this for that matter.

You can't. Because like your lie about Jesus saying repent daily. No one said it..

But I will wait patiently

how can one claim they are made up of many branches, but, then not claim they refer to being the Vine.

Jesus is the VINE, you are only the BRANCH.

how do you think you are the VINE?

that's NOWHERE in the Bible.


these words were SPOKEN by JESUS, He calls HIMSELF the VINE:

1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit
Click to expand...
I have never seen a branch, that does not have other branches coming off of it. Same with a vine. I love to garden, the main vine has branches and those branches have branches of their own. If those branches are not useful, I cut them off. But the branch coming from the vine is still intact and alive.

how can a SINNER, be IN CHRIST, without first being Saved?

This is an excellent question, and very logical. So you have to ask yourself: what is God teaching in the passage?
So reading through John 15, what is God actually teaching in the passage? What's the subject or main point?

that's why it says if you are producing fruit, you are being pruned.

but the none of the Branches can produce if it is not producing from the Source, the Vine.

Jesus specifically said, No fruit, which means no producing, the Branch is cut off.

What if as a believer I produce fruit in this area.

But in that area I do not produce fruit.

Does not God prune the one branch so it produces more fruit

and determines why the other is not producing (is it lying on the ground, being choked out. Does it need cut off?

15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He [a]takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

reading this Thread, you see, no one wants to Obey Commands from God.

they want to Obey their Doctrine, which is their god.

who is not obeying it?

You sure do love to judge people when you do not know them

people can only produce what God intends for them to produce.

you act like you control how it can be done.

only thing we control, is whether we Obey or Not.
