We are known by our fruits!

I so agree with this Gerry, and all who read and post here, should I cross that line, please correct me!! Sometimes I don't see my own ignorance, and would welcome correction in love

Amen to that! I feel exactly the same way as you about this. As Christians we are to welcome correction with love.

Excellent post Gerry Thanks!

Christians are not to attack one another as mindless piranhas in order to "prove" they are right, and to force their views down the throats of those of a differing view, and to prove they are superior intellectually and spiritually.

I think it´s a matter of attitude from us. If I have been attacked... I can see If I am right and the other people wrong or visceversa. I could call this HUMILITY. To see others people point of view. To accept when we are wrong. If other use to attack us just for fun... just turn tha page and go on... We must see the difference...

Often, there is a fine line between discussion and debate. But those who recklessly hurdle over that line, need to realize they become unwitting agents of the enemy by stealing the Joy of others.

In that moment we, as christians must turn around and walk away...

Christians are to love one another and to cover one another in love and unending prayers, encouraging and building one another up, never gossipping, or back biting or revealing "secrets".

Not only Christians to Christians... but even to love our enemies. And it´s also written.

These instructions of Christ are found in the Gospels of virtually every Bible translation I have ever seen. These are instructions and COMMANDS from the One we, as Christians, say we follow. It would serve us all well to remember we are known by our fruits.

Sure!!! you are right. We are going to be known by our fruits!!! I can post nice threads. But we must be careful in doing what we pray!!! How could I say: LOVE OTHERS!!! GOD IS LOVE!!! JESUS IS MY LORD!!! and suddenly act as if I have hate in my heart? I would be a liar.

YOU WILL IDENTIFY THEM BY THEIR FRUITS...
(And before any stone comes to me... let me say something: IT IS NOT ANY PERSONAL... OK?)
GOD BLESS YOU.

A BERRY true statement. It is just GRAPE when Christians can put aside their differences and BANANNA together in Jesus. PEAR Christian unity with Christian love and it's better than APPLE pie. Christianian unity makes me feel real PEACHY. Through our unity we can have GRAPE-FRUITS. Fighting Christians is like the last STRAWBERRY that broke the camels back. It is self-defeating. So lets put out talents together and make some FRUIT salad.

When this forum was opened, it was opened on a "trial" basis, unlike the many other forums here. Much was written about it's purpose and scope, which should be evident by it's name.

In this forum, let us not attack, not only what is written, but the writer as well, contrary to the teachings, commands, and examples of Christ, Himself.

Jesus said, "I command you to love one another". In no way does an attempt to publically humiliate and destroy a brother/sister fit into the realm of love that Christ spoke of.

Christians KNOW they are to love one another and to treat one another as they would have others to treat them. It is the most basic of all Christian principles. It is called the golden rule.

Do we wish to be agents of satan, even unwittingly? I think the answer to that is a resounding NO for all Christians.

I agree 100%

There is a time and place for everything now I will state my case.

If a thief enters the temple then it is to be bound and cast out.  Those who were used by the thief need to be corrected privately.  If this does not work then a witness and another must approach those in question.  If that doesn't work then they are to be taken before the assembly of believers.  It has gone past that to the authorities.  The judgement of the authorities has non been in line with what God would have.  I have been openly harrassed and called a liar and I'm tired of it.  According to the Law of the Lord and the Law of the Land this is harassment as well as slander.

I know them by their fruits.  I can also judge the judges according to their fruits as well.  Justice has not been administered so by the Law I am entitled to self defense.  It is not my desire to destroy but to build and to share with others. There is much that I could share with the believers in the way of knowledge, revelation and future events.  I would want this because it is my blessing to give.  If I am prevented then I am not only robbed but so are others.  The sins of one will effect many.

I do not wish to tear anyone down it is not of my nature.  If however I am pursued and targeted I will defend myself in whatever method that God gives to me.  His judgement is always just and I always ask before doing much of anything.  If I leave this house know this my blessing will go with it.  You will either choose a thief or choose a Godly man.  You will either stand with me or against me.  So go ahead rob me and say your right about it.  I tell you the Truth you will fall under your own judgement.  God will not be mocked.  Nor will I or any of those God has chosen.

Don't ask me anymore questions talk to my Lawyer His name is Jesus.  The Judge is my Father.

let us build up one another and gently correct our brothers and sisters in love, with the help from the Holy Spirit. I pray that the Father will bestow upon us the gift of discernment, and a heart of acceptance, forgiveness and most of all, love.

Lol you are an awesome man of God. I don't think you know that you have more potential than you think. God's going to show a big plan for you soon, a plan that will bring you to the frontline and inspire the lost.
